I dont see it on the FTP

I am assuming that your timeshare is the 'Straw hut' at the bottom right,cause the building looks pretty good!!!!

Sometimes you just have to do the 'Fake Geometry' trick to get what you want.

In lathe SP1 backplot royally sux. In lathe sp1 with latest patch,sux even worse. I wish they would fix it once and for all.

Just getting back to this thread and I just downloaded the chook! Thanks mcpgmr Worked like a charm

In V9,if I save my stl file after verifying it,can I now take that stl and convert it to a solid in Mastercam? And if so,how? thanks as always

Enough on this thread... Now he's at the OT forum spray painting all ova them walls!! What is your problem Ran? Graffitti Boy

Thanks John for posting this, One less thing I will have to do tomorro on my busy Fri. Not that I wouldn't be able to fit it in!

I have used it only a few times (in V9) and you have to make sure that you are in the right cplane for it to come out right or it will not look right especially if un rolling

I wasn't sure if you had sent it to him Jim. I will send it to you tomorrow,I had downloaded it to my desktop (at work) and I am now at home with crappy dial up.

Sean,did you get the file sent? If not,I will send it to you. Welcome to he forum

I can... Sounds to me like it may be coming to a theatre near you!!!

What happened? Mike get teh boot???

Wow Mike you been taking my advanced instructional cd course on how to be a Pr!c*?? Mr. brick,in all fairness,you have come to a really great place to get help,the amount of knowledge here is unbelievable! I think if you would ask for spacific help on tweeking your post,you will find what you are looking for. Even if someone was willing to just give you one ,it may not still be to your liking.Why not just change everything yourself with a little help from the great people here. This is a community of very nice people who are just dying to help out a fellow cammer,but just joining and asking out loud for it will most likely get you no where. Welcome to the forum and please stick around.

Would you like fries with that? You'll prolly be sh!tting more than a brick if these guys start flaming you for looking for handouts!!

The only time I had a Z dive down on me was cause I had to cancel out (H00) the height offset,but I certainly dont think this is your issue. On some of the older fanuc controls,you had to hold the manual spindle stop button and jog the Z at the same time just to get it to move.

Ok so he did his pc. with his minus 10% BS and the part started to lift outta the vise on the way up. His excuse was that the part wasn't tight enough in the vise. Ooh,and the No Go went all the way in. He still don't believe the rightway.... This idiot just wont listen

John,I gonna do that! I am sick of listening to little bitche like him. Only I will let him try it on a scrap pc. of steel.

Thanks for the replys. The guy who was saying this is one of the 'Know it alls' and biggest bitch in the shop,but cannot program a simple linear cut never mind a tap cycle! I just hate having to listen to idiots,that's why I count on you guys for real world answers. The sad part about this is that I could print out this thread and tell him to read it and he still wouldnt believe it never mind listen.... Guess that's why he still runs a machine and I dont!

Ok,I will not ever claim to know everything in this trade,but I would like to know how you guys do it. On my cnc verticals,I use one of those tension/compression holders. Now I always select an RPM,and let Mastercam calculate the feed based on the tap thread I'm using. One of the guys in the shop is saying that you should always reduce the feed rate by 10 percent. Is this a true statement?Is this what you guys do? I have always seemed to have no trouble doing just as I said by letting mastercam figure it out,or by just selecting an RPM and dividing by TPI thanks,

I was told by QC mastercam that the backplot verify function in X would be a resolved in SP1 It is not. The stock only updates if you stop the 'run button' Sorry but this is still an ongoing issue. One would think that they could do better than that!! The people who supposedly 'fixed' this problem,did they ever see how nice it worked in V9???? It still flickers too [ 09-23-2005, 01:14 PM: Message edited by: Brendan P ]
