That would rock I think

Say I have a pipe and I'm trying to project a hole with a counter bore on to this pipe but not in the center like 2 inches off center. What would be the best way to do this in X? Xform project and I get some funny results.

The nci destination needs to be changed to the same location for each operation. Just go into operations manager and right click on the toolpath, options, change nci destination.

Anybody cutting or drilling this stuff need some info on feeds and speeds for this nasty job.

What type of milling operations are you looking for?

Ha you guys rock I knew I was missing something I was looking for the green check mark thanks guys.

I'm relatively new to version X (Playing around with demo) I was wondering how to go about adding apply or o.k. to the right mouse menu. And I like it alot nice upgrade.

My hats off to the fine crew at CNC software.

You better check head alignment on that thing first off. I have had experience of them dropping one off and it being out from the factory therfore everything you do will be out.

Your mill level three will be fine that is what I use. I don't know about the trunion similarities don't have any experience.

You may want to post a dummy program out with that post and see what you get it might ask you what tool pivot distance to use etc...

have fun

57-080 is the one I use a lot we cut plastic with fiberglass layed on the back and it eats that stuff up. .250" thick

Hello all,

Need some advice from some of you teachers. I was recently called from a community technical college to teach a night course on mastercam. I'm thinking about doing it. What should I expect for money and any other stuff like that? And is there some stuff I can pick up off of the internet for a curriculum plan so I don't overwhelm students. By being an advanced user I may move way to fast.

I will create a line where I want the section and then project it to the surfaces on a different level then just get in the view you want and there it is.

Now that was a simutaneous post if I ever saw one. same minute

You can uncheck the level that you are using and select the surfaces to that level and as you select them they will disappear to that level. I use the color method it seems to work pretty good.

I'm experiencing that also with the other computer that I work on in another plant and I was told by IT that it had something to do with network because that plant hasn't been upgraded. Have they made any changes on you Roy?

thanks guys that's what I was thinking just not sure

Is there a way in mastercam version 9.1sp2 to do a draft analysis of all surfaces like in Pro-E?

Same boat as you Midwest. never been to any classes either school of hard knocks.

Sounds like those guys are messing with you. That doesn't sound very productive at all.

LOL at Jimmy good one

can you put it on the ftp?

+1000 to Travis

That is cool stuff not much left of that part when your done.

I program thermwood routers for doing 5 axis trim work and I have my post customized to insert z clearance moves in between each repostion move this works great and then I edit them at the machine for efficiency.

Just want to get everyone's feeling on this cut path I like it. It seems to a good job on contoured parts.

They were using the locked therwood post and tried to use a different one. maybe that was the problem or just operator error
