  1. i am looking to force a C zero move on a move where the A axis returns to A zero right now for example if the position of the machine is A-45 C-45 if i position back to A0 the C axis stays at C-45 for a result of A0 C-45 I would like it to be C0 every time the A axis returns to A0 Thanks
  2. nvida quadro k2000 mastercam recomends a card with 4g this one has 2g i will try adjusting the setting as well thanks
  3. what video card is everyone running? I am using a nvidia quadro k2000 i am having some issues and i think this might be the cause.
  4. i did try that already mark, still runs like crap
  5. I am using mc18 it runs fine but the verify end of it is horrible. it runs extremely slow and very chunky. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  6. the k4000 card has some major issues running mc2017
  7. Tim, Is this list online? I cant seem to find it. Thanks
  8. i am using a NVIDA k4000 now, its much better but is not working with MC very well. we have a couple k620s here that my IT dept wanted to try. i wont even have them bother. Thanks
  9. is anyone using NVIDIA K620 WITH MC2017 ?
  10. i am using nvidia k4000 now and past posts have told me there is an issue with it and i am seeing it first hand, its been a painfulcouple of weeks here. is anyone using nvidia k620 if so any input on it?
  11. i to am having problems with tool manager on monitor #2, thanks for the tip on only running it on monitor #1.
  12. I will have our IT guy try that thanks. Kind of sucks for me my computer here is all locked down, I have only a small window where I can have them work on this kind of stuff.
  13. is this happening just in this file or are other files acting the same for you?
  14. i am using Vericut 8.0 as well, having issues there to with picking on things.
  15. No card is nvidia quadro k4000 driver is dated 1/10/2017 21.21.13.7662 and i spoke a bit prematurely I guess, it did fix my problems with picking on things but it messed up others. AHAAAAA....... wtf when i got to define a tool there is at times nothing to pick so once again i shut mastercam down and its fine for a while. is the card certified by MC? how can i tell? thanks
  16. I had newest driver installed on video card and whola! No problems all day Thanks
  17. im using NVIDIA Quadro K4000 driver 6.1.7600.16385 i will have IT guy update driver version this is really getting annoying. thanks for all the input.
  18. I am locked out of that info, our it dept. is really strict, I will check with them on video card. thanks
  19. thanks but nothing, i just exit and come back in and all is fine for a while
  20. I can not just duplicate the issue, it happens randomly. I am not in a sub menu when it happens, I just can not pick on anything. exit and start up again and i can go a couple Hrs. very annoying.
  21. mastercam 17 nothing locks up but I have to continuously exit mastercam because I can not pick on any lines or solids? exiting and re entering fixtes things but is quite annoying. Thanks
  22. Is there a setting in X9 for brightening up highlighted colors on the icon menu on top of screen and also say like when you open a toolpath and select tool if there are alot of tools in the operation i can not see which tool is selected. The color set up in gereral kind of sucks, is there a way to customize any of these settings? see the second pic (color 1) where tool 3 is highlighted, it is not highlighted when opening the operation (color) it is a very faint color when 1st opened. Thanks
  23. why is it when I set a file in the backplot/verify area to use to verify my program if I close the session I have to go in and reselect my file to use to verify upon reopening the file? is there some kind of file save that needs to be turned on for this in my settings?
  24. Thanks Ron, I will look into this a bit, what your saying about one post is more what I would like to see, I will look into this a bit more today, I have done exactly that in other cam software that's why I figured it was possible here. Just a bit new to the post side of master cam.
  25. To be a bit more specific, I would want this to be done only when positioning to mill or drill in 2d or 3d motion when profiling milling or drilling in a rotated fixed axis. after the machining is done in a rotated position I want the c axis to return to zero if the a axis does so, and only at a tool change is not exactly what I am looking for. a separate post would be used when doing any true 5 axis work. Thanks in advance for any further advice.
