Have you tried on backplot, select display rapid moves?

aim high and dont give up!

there are 2 disks for sw 1 for 32bit one for 64bit and i installed the one for the 64bit,

because this is a 64bit operating system

i have another computer that runs 32bit and didnot have problem at all, is there a fixing or should i just forget at all? just wondering.

thanks

has anybody installed mastercam direct on a 64bit system on solidworks 2009 sp3,i cannot figure out why is not working, is there a patch for it? I try reinstalling it, rebooting etc...

I agree with Colin use reference points.

thanks Chris can't wait to install it.

i will think that if you have the c/comp option

in the parameters it should output c/comp

when posting

i did a search and found nothing about outputing

c/c on 5ax toolpath

i'm trying to cut an angle wall on a 5ax haas trunion

and need to use regrind 1/2 em's

so i need to use c/comp on the toolpath

so far i have not ben able to do it,

i can selected on the parameters but i wont output c/com when i post it

i try 5ax curve and 5ax swarf.

if any body have any input i will apreciated

i put a file on the ftp MCX2_Files/5axwall.mcx

if any body want to look at it thanks

i'm trying to force g8 for -milling only- on a fadal format1 and cancel g9 for drilling on every op.

i did a search on and found some code but,

i have no idea where it goes, using mpfadalmaster, any input will be apreciated.

here is the code.

pg8g9 #Add either G8 To Milling or G9 to drilling SLA

If opcode = 3 , "G9"

if opcode < > 3, "G8"

I uploaded a file called obroundramp.mc9

if you want to look at it on the ftp.

can you put the file on the ftp so we can look at it.

have you try contour ramp?

danbo

thanks that is exactly wat i was looking for.

have a nice weekend.

danbo.

i'm running mcx2 mill3 lathe2 combo.

btw if i select right side plane anc c axis

it will cut at the front, need to cut at the od closer to the chuck.

crazy.

yes i read it and follow everything but says nothing about 3d surfaces w/no y axis.

try projecting also.

dont know if there is a simple way to roll/unroll

surfaces when you dont have a true dia.

id don't have acces to the ftp but,

if you or any body will like to take a look at the part i can email.

thanks for the responses.

it uses G7.1 but i canot make it to work on

mastercam i try differernt paths and nothing worked, cutter paths go sideways not in the right place.

try different toolplanes and, nada!

is it possible to mill od surface on lathe

no y axis?

surface has 2 angles back of part closer to the chuck.

did seach and found nothing.

any input will be apreciated.

this is for a puma300 caxis 21i control.

i don't have acces to the ftp site.

mill3 lathe1 combined.

wear also.
