It hasn't happened yet. Just trying to prevent it.
-
Is there a way to indicate that a cutter is non center cutting, such as indexable end mills? Something that would know every time that tool was selected, it couldnt plunge down on the part.
-
yes, I've tried it that way also
-
I've been trying to use the new "fill holes" option. It doesn't seem to work. Create, Surface, Trim/Extend, Fill holes. Then, solid face? and select the face then drag the arrow to it and click. The new surface is created but the tool path doesn't see the fill. The tool still dips down into the hole
-
Thats it! Thanks.

Just loaded V9.1. I right click on the tool in the tool parameters box, and change the params, go back to the tool param box and click on the tool , and the changes are not there. "Help" says that a dialog box should pop up asking about the changes. Mine doesn't. What am I missing?

Wow, you guys are still going on this? There's alot of good info here. Moto GP, thanks for looking at my electrode. It's always good to see how someone else does things. We normaly use the "lying" method. I just wanted to see if anyone knew of an easier way. Thanks to all.
-
Thanks for all the input. Its reassuring to know that most do it the same way I do.

I sent it to all nc programs. I guess I should have sent it to mc8 files. If you look at it i was wondering about all the sloped surfaces .Will telling it the wrong size affect the geometry.
-
sending it to nc files on the ftp. called "slide pocket electrode for ej side"
-
I've never sent something to the FTP. What do I do Email it somewhere or what?
-
Mold Plus SA? Anyone using it? I found it on the products page. It says electrode creation.
-
Jammer, thats what I have been doing. Lately were getting some pretty complicated burns though. Designers are leaving it to me to figure out which faces to have neg stock on, And I'm not so sure.
-
What about when you have odd orbits? Wouldn't some surfaces get cut w/ neg stock and others not?
-
Anyone use any software that compensates electrodes for the appropriate overburn? I seem to remember reading about an add on.
-
Thank you.

What are the min. system requirements for v9
-
I need to engrave a part. The surface is convex, and the geometry is a bunch of little pockets instead of single lines. I am using a 3/64 ball nose cutter. When I select the geometry, the cutter comp moves the cutter to the wrong side of the line on about half of the lines. So I cant just change sides. Turning Comp off will not work either because the lettering is to close to each other. Any suggestions?
-
Thats it. Thank you.

In other words, my circles look like hexagons.
-
When I create a model, it is full of holes where two surfaces meet. Is there a way to change the tolerance on this?
-
Thanks. Thats it!

I have my cut depths set, absolute, 0 for min and -.5578 for max.
-
I'm using surf rough parallel. It makes a cut a Z zero before it goes to the other depths. How do i get it to skipp that level? The depth of the cut is about .6 and I have the max step down set to a value larger than that.
