Peter, Thaks for the reply. I use the Pro/E reader. And the IGES reader. They both work fine, with the exception of the level names coming in. I have permission to send the IGES file to you, Can you please Instruct me on the best way to get it to you. Thanks, Larry

I cannot share the file,sorry, but it is the same with any proe file. Wehave the tranlators, they work fine, with the exception of bringing the name of the levels in.

When taking an IGS file from ProEngineer all data comes thru fine as do layer numbers, parts are on the correct numbered layer. However layer names do not are not being read by X6. We Use layer names for all following procedures. It helps if we have the Level names come in with the IGS files. This appears to be unique to Master Cam as with other software we use the names come through. Thanks for any assistance that can be rendered. Larry

Morning all, Running MCX6. While trying to add tools or edit a program I am getting a new (to me) error message You cannot close the application while a task is active:Mastercam::OmregenSelectedOperations Can anyone let me know what is causing this, what MC is doing or looking for and or how to fix it. Thanks for any advice

I ment to say NOW approach the powerers that be. Whoops!

Thanks for the input gentlemen. I will no approach the powers that be with a request. Crazy, I am fowarding your reply as I recieved it, I could not have stateted the position better than you just did. Thanks all

Morning All, Looking for input on the processing speed diffrence between a standard hard drive and a solid state. Also you opinions on the pros and cons of either. Thanks

Morning All, We have recently purchased a ProtoTrack retrofit PTSMX2 for a bridge port. Our Mastercam dealer has fowarded to us a genric 2 axis post (MPROTMC2), for the same. The post seems fine but for the fact I cannot seem to figure out how to force the program to pause upon the execution of a Z axis move. Post processors are defintely not one of my stonger points, but I think I can get it working with a little assistance from the forum. If possible can anyone offer some guidance, or point me in the right direction as to where the fixes would be made. Thanks for your help. Larry

Thanks HardMill, tried that, tried the repair disk, both to no avail, Its a 4axis job on the tombstone, all srufacing toolpaths with 4 instances. Maybe its just alot of info to process. Will keep looking.

Recently starting recieving a "Not Responding" error code in MX6. The program continues to run but very slow. Task manager shows pc runng at about 16%. Any one else seen this?

Morning All. Working off a tombstone, using the front const and tooling plane. I am trying to create an STL file using the current WCS so I can verify. When the Save dialog appears I cannot switch to "Current WCS" , ir remains on World Co ords. I have tried changing defaults in my config files but to no avail. I know I have done this before in earlier versions. I am very greatful for any assistance Using Ver 6MU3 Thanks

Thanks for the inut guys. Gcode did the reinstall bit, worked fine the first time, later we came up with the same error code. Oscar, just tried disconnecting the external drive, and now its working fine. Don't know why, but its a get around for now. Its close to Miller Time, so we will continue Monday. Again, thanks for the help.

Gcode, it seems to be a mastercam problem. This station is not on a net hasp. I am being told there was no MC files copied from anywhere else. This is a new workstation, The only changes made were were the automatic upgrades from Microsoft Windows 7.Code appears as the "begining startup tasks appears."

Morning all, I reloaded MCX4 on a new workstation for one of our people yesterday, it was working fine. This morning we are getting "There is no disk in drive.Please insert disk. \Device\harddisk3\DR3" error Any ideas? Thanks

I have recently installed MCX6 on a new laptop. When creating geometry or picking geometry nothing either appears or is highlighted on the screen until I hit the repaint or refresh button, then all appears and remains as it should. Thanks for any assistance

Thank you John

Morning All, We are attempting to move the MCX6 server to a new computer. I cannot seem to find a location to down load the server software. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Del, Came through with no files or attachments to open. Regards, Larry

Thanks Very Much Del, [email protected]

I am trying my best to edit a post for a Fanuc Robocut wire EDM. I know next to nothing about wire machines. When milling I have no problem. I am hoping some one on this forum can steer me to a location,(or forward to me) a site where I can get a list of codes used on a wire. Thanks

Running windows 7. We have changed from a nethasp to a hasp on a workstation. We are running both X4 wire And Ver9.1 wire. Ver. X4 has no problems, however, Ver. 9.1 cannot find the hasp. When I try To use the hasp utility in Ver. 9.1 It states “Hasp not Found”. It is necessary to run 9.1 on this system. I’ve been working on this for two days, I know I am missing something but I cannot figure it out. Any assistance is very welcome. Thanks

Morning all, Engineering is using “Ideas Master Series 12” to create our mold databases. These files are saved with a .mf# extension. They are then converted to iges files. We then import the files as *.igs and work with them. The only problem being, after converting to iges all data comes in on one level rather than on the different levels they were created on. Is anyone familiar with The Ideas Master Series software ( I believe it may related to UG), and if so, can anybody assist us with what we are missing in the conversion of the files and losing the levels information on export. Thanks for any assistance. Larry
