  1. How do I get the Rhino converter for Master Cam? I thought it was available from 9.1 SP2?
  2. Noel and Ray Unchecking the the number tools sequentialy box did the trick. Thanks Sorry about the double post.
  3. Ray, Unchecking the the number tools sequentialy box did the trick. Thanks
  4. Noel, It still numbers it as the next tool in line and not tool #21 offset #21???
  5. I would like to create a tool libary "current tools" that are curently loaded in the machine. I created a tool libary for current tools, then use what tools as needed. All is great except for the tool number always changes to the next number tool. Example, from the tool libary I pull out tool # 21, but in the current job it is listed as tool # 2 I then have to put the correct tool and dia offset numbers in. I know I shouldn't have to do this so what do am I doing wrong?
  6. Thanks Mayday and Rob K. That worked great. Now I have one little problem. In back plot the tap looks like the a 55 gallon drum and is going to wipe out my part? What gives?
  7. Do you get this in the tool operations page or do I need to go to Job set up?
  8. The current job I'm working on is all english tap sizes. I have one M10 x 1.5 tap on this job and the rest are 250 x 20, .375 x 24, and .3125 x 18. How do I retrive a metric tap from the libary? Thanks in advance.
  9. Is there a way to drill an arc by selecting a arc size and then picking the rest automatically? I have a large plate with many holes in it and some have .374 press fit hole and some with .376 slip fit holes. You can imagine trying to pick the difference out without analyzing each and every arc. There has to be a easier way. Thanks
  10. By deleting the "fmt B 1 c # Rotary axis angle (from tool planes)" line the code is now replaced with "C 0.00" Here is the example that you ask for. Rapid Z 0.2500 X 0.1250 B 0.0000 Z 0.1000 Line Z-0.2000 Feed 10.0 Arc Ccw X-0.1250 XCenter 0.0000 YCenter 0.0000 Feed 20.0 Feed 20.0 Arc Ccw X 0.1250 XCente [ 12-05-2003, 12:23 PM: Message edited by: Sandybar ]
  11. I have this under pre define post lines prot # Single-axis rotation *c and this under format assignments fmt B 1 c # Rotary axis angle (from tool planes)
  12. 164. Enable Rotary Axis button? n
  13. The Anilam 3000 post that I'm using code an "B0.000" line that my machine tool does not like. How do I get the post to omit the B0.000 line. This apparently is a 4th axis code? Thanks In advance
  14. Thanks Guys, that did the trick, Question 90 had informatin in it and I deleted it and worked great. Thanks agian Have a great weekend!!!!
  15. I recieved a post for an recently purchased machine tool. It is an Master Cam post for an Anilam 3000. I updated the post for MC 9.1 SP2. When I post an operation it imediatly comes up with a error message saying PATH NOT FOUND C:user What gives?
  16. We go to Bassets Industrial Supply. They have been very good to us.
  17. Sounds like you live on Whidbey Island, You need to move to the San Juan Islands, it don't rain nearly as much.
  18. I've made several patterns out of wood on our Machining center (Mori Sieki) and the general question is does wood damage your Machine tool? The theory is that the wood dust get on the ways and soaks up oil, thus damaging the ways. Also the spindle bearings are also a question too. Does anybody out there run wood on their Machining centers and still have good machine tool life?
  19. I thought my allocations were effieciant enough, I will bump them up a little bit. Thanks for your time to explain to me.
  20. Recently, I have a little disk picture that appears in the lower right hand corner. What does this mean? I noticed that the speed of rotating the part slows way down. My System is a 2.4 GHZ Xeon, 1.5 GB ram, NVidea Quadro 4 Card, and version 9.1 SP2. Do I need to do anything while the disk picture appears?
  21. What is ISIR? And a foam dispensing sytstem?
  22. I would like to know how many of you guys and gals do rapid prototyping? What methods do you use? Machining of what type of materials? Do you make the part or create a temporary mold to create parts? Or use epoxy / resins? We do mostly 3D machining of modeled parts, Somtimes this is time consuming. Management wants to look at other methods of prototyping. The idea is to get from design to production faster and more efficient. Any information would be appricated. Thanks in advance.
  23. I need to know if MC uses virtual memory? And if the answer is yes how much is do you allagate for it?
