Yup, sure did! He gave me an account without having to secure it in any financial way.

Well, that is good to know. It just would sukk a lot worse if not wearing one was a factor. ... Sounds like just one of those things that no one has control over. Destiny you might call it, I dont know. I try to live life to the fullist cause there aint no way ya can take it wit ya. I am going to miss him dearly. He truly was a tool rep that personally cared about making you happy! Not sure what is going to happen with Industrial, but I sure wont feel the same calling in an order..... A couple of years ago, he funded a great lunchen spread at my place of employment.

I have dealt with Larry on many of occasions. He would come to my work all the time. He was a great guy! I will miss him a lot. RIP Larry. What makes me think he wasn't wearing a seat belt?

There's this place that is pretty abandoned called Mexico that you could try....

Wow! just think, me and you...side by side! LOL

Thanks for verifying that I wasn't me having too many beers last nite!! LOL This is why I'm having such a hard time transforming outta 9.1! I cant get the most simplistic things to work, how are the complex things getting done! Ya think it is a BUG or something? I have ran my laser toolpaths like this on 9 with no problems... What is the bug report email? [email protected]? I always use "control" for my comp. He comps the laser beam at his machine. BTW, How do you shut off the big thick RED feed move lines in backplot. I hate those..... Thanks guys

ok, I have no choisce but to get my azz moving with X before I get left in the dust. I am having a simple problem with Backplot (which to this day I swear still sux). I am doing a simple 2D contour. When I run the toolpath, it cuts completely around the part. However, when I run it in "backplot" it does not appear to cut on the inner circle. Or the 7.719 radius. It seems to just show it cutting a linear move in the X axis...WTF? I have uploaded the file in the: MCX-MR2 or earlier folder called: 9260laser.mcx If someone has a little time, can you verify this is happening to you as well and maybe why? I dont know if it is a grafix card issue or what.. Thanks.

Ok, before I go whining like I did,, maybe it could be a graphic card issue. It seems like when I run backplot and use the "verify stock"...meaning watch each pass remove the stock, it isn't smooth coming off. It's like before the tool makes the pass all away across the part, the stock is already removed for that pass! And I hate those thick RED lines indicating feed moves. I cant figure out how to shut them off. I dont need those. I'm using a G-Force FX 5200 card. thanks [ 11-01-2007, 06:42 AM: Message edited by: Brendan P ]

Sucks!! I dont know what they were thinking when they had northwood build this platform. It works nothing as good as V9.1 Tell me it is not just me....

I did this and it didn't work at all. WTF? Well, I seem to have got it to work... [ 10-31-2007, 10:44 AM: Message edited by: Brendan P ]

ok, i found it...doesn't it figure right after posting my question!! DUH... Ya gotta use "revolve" Hope everyone is doing good here. Hi Chris, I see you are back to work. I'l shoot ya an email bro.

Ok, I did a search to no avail. Beat me if I somehow missed it. While in stock set up properties, I cannot find how to "chain" my 2D stock. It's like it doesnt exist! You can make from 2 points, I see the drop down menu, but I dont see where you can chain it. And yes, I'm whining!! WTF am I missing? Running X2 MR2 maintenance. Thanks

The generic mplfan should work. You may have to use the G50 system on that old clunker...

Yea, right Steve...I was out visiting your home country!! LOL Glad you are in good shape Chris, glad you are back home! Get better and get back on man!

Karen called me this morning on my cell fone. Thanks John if it were you who helped make this happen. I got the number to call him at his hospital bed. He seems a little "doped up", but he is in good spirits. Just by talking to him, I honestly think he would be dead if he was not wearing a full face helmet! Since I got my Hayabusa,I always wear full leather gear and full face helmet. I always preach this. We were supposed to go for a ride together this week taking a day off from work! I'm just glad he is alive. Dumb F/N cagers......

thank you...I dont worry too much about my number being in public...

Karen, I just got back from vacation... Please call me at 978- ***- **** or cell 978- ***-**** I tried to get ahold of you guys, but i got chris' cell number... Get well soon... WTF, we were supposed to go riding when i got back from Mexico!! [ 08-27-2007, 06:13 PM: Message edited by: JParis@CNC Programming Solutions® ]

Sorry, I just dont understand your question.

I think I did what you wer looking for.. I added .BGP to the new file... lemme kno. BTW, your tool holder is crashing into the 2nd face step on your part.

LOL...How's it going Thad. Hows everything in the motor city? I dont get the chance to play here like i used to...

Do you have your tool compensation going the right way? if you can put it on the FTP, I can look at it for you.

I am trying to install this, I just downloaded it off the mastercam support/downloads. Here is the error I get. It seems it wants to download to E drive! I dont even have an E drive! It should download to my C drive. WTF? Is this a windows setting/thingy? Thanks guys.....

I just finally took the transition class at my reseller...helped out a lot!
