I installed the html setup sheet and followed
all the instructions in the read me file.
but when trying to open the setup sheet,
the explorer opens and gives me the message :
"internet explorer cannot open the internet site : http://files/mcam8/mill/nc/testing.html c:/program files/mcam8/mill/nc/testing.html"
I found that html file at: c:/program files/mcam8/mill/nc/testing.html
what is the problem??
thanks,
I also noticed that problem when using
multi passes.
the conditions for this bug are :
more then 1 depth or multi pass,cutter comp. in control, the "retract" is active.
if i cancel the retract(i can give the clearance instead) the problem is gone.
I did A regular 2d contour,
The depth of that contour is -20 mm,
I activated the depth cuts and did 10mm
cuts.
i used cutter comp. in control and i gave it
perpendicular entry & exit.
After the first cut (at 10mm) i got the
message : simulate cutter compensation in control stoped at entity 0 to 1.....
I canceled the "Retract" and the problem gone!
It looks like a bug to me.
Thanks,
I had that problem too,
this problems happens because of hardware
conflicts.
Mastercam can somtimes crash because other
applications (like antivirus on the background).
Try to quit all applications before running
mastercam.
Also go to control pannel-display-settings-andvanced-performance, and low your hardware
acceleration (it worked for me).
What kind of display adapter are you using??
Yes,
It works only one way,but if you'll type the
feed rate and you'll get the spindle speed,
it seems to look ok, but after clicking ok,
it's gone.check the NC file and you'll see
the problem.
I did write the thread and tap,but when i
click ok,the feed rate "jumps" and become
somthing else (the spindle speed stays the
same).
I didn't have that problem in v.8, and i have it only in v8.1 (i use the same post).
I can't save the parameters for tapping!!
after clicking ok,the parameters (feed rate & spindle speed are gone!)
Will they fix this bug??
(I'm using v8.1)
Thanks,
Elad.

I also noticed that after writing the
feed rate and the spindle speed,mastercam v8.1 doesn't save it!!!!!
after i clicked ok,i clicked again on the parameters in the operations manager,and i
found out that my parameters (feed and spindle speed)were gone!
if it's a bug,so it's a big one!
Hi,
when choosing a tap rh tool, mastercam
calculates the feed rate by the spindle
speed X threads.
mastercam v8.1 calculates it different :
feed rate / threads.
this is not a good way to calculate it.
i had to calculate the spindle speed x thread
myself, and then write it in the feed rate.
it takes more time.
anyone knows why??is it a bug??
Thanks,
Elad.

as far as I now the sub programs suppose to
work fine (i use mpfan post),I had no problems, but I heard there are some problems,and it's better to avoid using
sub program inside sub program.
I also heard that most of the problems were
fixed in v. 8.1.
Hi,
i had to make changes and i right clicked
the tool,and i changed the flute.
after i clicked ok,i noticed that the spindle
speed and the feed rates changed to 0
why??
why always when i do a little change mastercam drop my spindle speed and feeds??
Thanks,
Elad.

I use mastercam v8.
I had to do a simple open contour,and i
did the chain.
after i finished to chain,i had to change it
(sometimes i want to add another entity to that chain,or to unselect an entity in the chain,but i found out that it's imposible to edit an existing chain,i must rechain all.
is there a way to edit a chain,or do i have to delete it and make the chain again??
thanks,
Elad.
while trying to make a simple drilling,
after i do the regen path, i get the message
in window : DEBUG
tp_pt_is_grid():
cannot get grid or bolt entity
What does it mean??
I know some of you wrote already about this
problem,but i still couldn't understand
the answer.
Why can't i lead out to point??i can only lead in from point,but if i am doing another
point in the geometry,and using exit point,
Mastercam ignores it,and goes out to the
first point.
Did they fix it in version 8.1??
