  1. That worked ! Need to rebuild my workspace , but everything is working again...Thank you very much guys !!
  2. Hi y'all, So I open up Mcam this morning and notice my Planes Manager isn't working...I can display it on / off from the View menu but can't select a plane or do anything in there. It was working fine on Saturday...Any ideas on how to fix this ? TIA !! Chris Mcam2020 Update2
  3. My 2 "go to" holders for 1/8" shanks... https://www.parlec.com/Products/Tool-Holding/ERos-Extreme-Precision-Holders/CAT-40 & https://www.techniksusa.com/metal/Cat_slim_holders.htm I'd ultimately prefer the Regofix Powergrip ,but these are an "affordable" alternative for now...
  4. Hi everyone, Using 2019 (latest & greatest) , & the Generic Haas 3 axis mill post... Here's what I currently output...(simple drilling example code) T17 M6 G0 G90 G54 X0. Y0. S3762 M3 G43 H17 Z.25 M8 G99 G81 Z-1. R.25 F11.3 G80 M5 G91 G28 Z0. M9 G28 X0. Y0. M30 % What do I need to do to get rid of the X0. , and just have that line output as G28 Y0. ? Getting tired of manually deleting it all the time... Any help is much appreciated !! TIA, Chris
  5. There's a drop down arrow right next to the File Open icon on the Quick Access Toolbar...
  6. Nice ! I just switched over to Helical endmills for all my mold finishing. LOVE them so far !!
  7. Hi All, So we can now(again) have single key keyboard shortcuts...a couple examples that I use are , S = Create Spline , or T= Trim....Problem is when I want to use the Alt activated keystrokes , the single key shortcuts override the Alt keystrokes... Ex , Alt+T (Transform) opens the Trim function....or in Backplot , trying to use the "S" key to step thru a tool path opens the Create Spline Is there a fix for this yet ? Or just avoid the single key shortcuts till' there is ? TIA Chris
  8. Sweet ! Though depending on the time of day , it could be more like an hour away... Did you work at ProtoTek a while ago? I seem to remember you coming out to my old job , and help me configure V8...Back in 99' or 2000'
  9. Brookdale Plastics....We're right off of 169 & Plymouth Rd
  10. Thanks , I know that can be done , but I was wondering if there's a way to add a 9th or 10th row to the table itself ?
  11. Is there a way to add a row (or 2) to the NC-Header table ? HTML sheet... X9 Sorry if this was covered previously...I tried a search but no luck. Thanks, Chris
  12. Find the "Activate Solid Selection" on the General Selection toolbar...Then you'll be able to select solid edges , faces , or bodies...
  13. Got Solids ? If so, use the hole axis feature to create a point at the bottom of all of them...then set your drill depth (in the linking parameters) to incremental
  14. I use these hydraulics and LOVE them ! Haven't had a cutter pull out on me yet.... http://www.schunk-produkte.com/en/toolholders/tendo-e-compact.html Don't remember the exact price , think around $250 , and the sleeves are around $50
  15. Please tell me the RMB (right mouse button) is still there..?!? And the MRU toolbar ?
  16. We have the 1000psi on our UMC-750....Works great , BUT , it is freaking LOUD !!! Also , make sure to clean/replace the screen underneath the pump that's in the coolant tank....If that gets clogged , and the TSC tank runs dry or really low , it will alarm out your program.
  17. Settings / Config / Shading...Make sure "Entity Color" is selected
  18. Oh Yeah !! Move your solid /surfaces to their own level , and turn it off BEFORE you save...
  19. I only lock Transform Operations...That way if I need to edit the source op for any reason , it will still utilize the Multi-Threading. Then un-lock & regen the Transform op...Otherwise you have to wait for the Source & Transform op(s) to regen with no threading.

  21. Are you refering to the Solid Hole Axis feature ? If so check this out I use this feature almost every day , and it's a HUGE time saver for me...Do you have the Multiaxis package ?
