  1. Wasn't there a thread a few months back talking about using a macro for this?
  2. That depth cuts in first pass option sounds nice.

  4. Monday ill try and put up a sample of what I'm thinking. Its a standing leg that flows from a closed angle to a open angle. I could not get flowline to work cuz there are 4 surfaces on that wall. I ended up just using loft and chained the top and lower rail. Easy but damn! There's a ton of code . I messed with the Nci filter chook but gave up on it.
  5. I'm proficient in the traditional 3axis paths. Just we dint have multiaxis at work yet. I was just wondering if its something we should have. I'm thinking I could use it for the undercut walls I have to do. I mostly use parallel and flow line. But yesterday I could not get them to do what I wanted. So I had to use the old wireframe loft tool path.
  6. That sounds good. What can the multiaxis tool paths do for me that the surface and wireframe tool paths can't?
  7. Just noticed multiaxis tool paths can be posted as 3axis. What situations are these tool paths useful for 3axis machining?
  8. Ok thanks ill have to look into that
  9. Ya we've been trying to do that lean manufacturing. ( Goodrich ) is our main customer. It really does take 100% cooperation from the whole company. When I said skill building. I meant on a personal level. Too help me become a more productive programmer. I can program all our parts but I'm not very fast and it bothers the boss man I can tell
  10. Ok I'll run this by the boss man. Thanks for the help guys. It's really a PITA for the three of us here to share one seat of mastercam . That's why I want to just do my work at home after hours.
  11. So with that hamachi I need a net hasp. Does my company have to buy a net hasp or do they trade my USB sim in?
  12. That's pretty much what I'm thinking of.
  13. Does anyone offer something like a skills building class? Not like a class where they teach you basics but like how to be productive in an industrial environment ,
  14. We just have one license.it's a USB key. Thanks for the info.
  15. What's involved in using my mastercam seat from work at home on my personal computer? The easiest would be to just take my USB sim home with me but boss won't let me.
  16. I justed up'd the min. Arc radius to .02 in the filter and so far my machine is running fine
  17. G2 x-2.5388 y -2.2304 z-2.2304 j-.0005 k.0111 This is the line it alarms on.
  18. I know I could change machine parameters but I don't wanna mess with it. This is a recent problem tho. I've never had this issue before.

  21. Ya I tried both. Some cases I have my tool path running up and down the y axis and sometimes across the xaxis. Just depends on my part.
  22. Yes I can pinpoint the line. What's the MTB? I'll have to try line segments.
  23. When I try to filter a parallel toolpath I get an error at the machine saying "helical radius too small" I don't understand why Im getting too small of an arc? This just stared happening it used to work fine. Fadal VMC Ive tried it on several of the Fadals.
  24. Another poll: How many of you get the joy of programming and building fixtures for new parts while trying to keep other machines running with other jobs??
