Hi Phooey, recently we replaced one of our hasp sims because someone stepped on it. It cost us $75, no hassels at all. Neil.

Any chance that it has something to do with your screen resolution?
-
I got the same time also with X3.
-
You might want to include what version of MC you're using.
-
I have the same problem here, it doesn't seem to work when you post over the network.
-
If you use the x+ setup sheet it doesn't post ghosted ops. HTH.
-
Just when you think you know every thing, LOL!! I think Colin is teasing us!

Sorry, no can do. Only way I can think of would be to go into the front or side view and window everything in the range you want. N.

Microsoft IntelliPoint 6.2 = Mastercam Death
neil qwerty replied to Allan Brown's topic in Industrial Forum
FYI.... this is causing crashes in Unigraphics also so don't blame MasterCam. N. -
You may need to use the combine views tool (Screen, Combine views) in order to make "mask on arc" work. This changes the direction of the arc (arcs can be facing up or down) to make it selectable with a mask. Neil.

What size screen do you have? I've got a 24" wide screen and my resolution is set at 1920 x 1200. My circles are round.

Sent to QC asking if it's working as intended and if so it would be nice to have a warning come up to let you know that it will not leave the requested stock on the vertical walls. Thanks for your help guys.

Posted on John's FTP site as ROUGH POCKET BUG with chamfer mill cutter.MCX (thanks John). That's a real bugger that it won't take a chamfer tool, any idea if this is fixed in X3? It seems to work ok if you use the high speed area clearance. N.

Hey folks, one of our programmers seem to have stumbled upon a bug in X2 MR2. When writing a surface rough pocket program with a chamfer mill cutter the program is ignoring the stock left on the vertical walls. If I copy the program and change the cutter to a bullnose style cutter it works fine. Has anyone come across this and reported it to QC yet? If not, I'll send it in. I'd post the MCX file but the FTP appears to be down for maintenance. Thanks, Neil.

Turning the buffers down has always fixed the problem for me. If that doesn't work I would suggest getting In-House Solutions to have a look at your setup, these guys really know their stuff when it comes to DNC. You may want to look at the routing of you wires, if you can, keep them away from high volatge lines. We used to have problems with DNC to our wire EDM machines, it would get so bad sometimes that we'd have to shut all the machines down just to send a program over. Fortunatly that doesn't semm to happen any more. Good luck, Neil.

Damn, too slow again. LOL.

The FIFO buffers are on the computer that you are using to send files to the control. They are located in control panel, system, hardware, device manager. Scroll down to "Ports", right click on the port that you are using for DNC. Click on the port settings tab, then click on advanced. Neil.

Since you're using UG, another good reason to use parasolid over step is you don't need to fully load all of your components before exporting.
-
Sorry Lans, no can do. I think if you create surfaces from the solids, they will have the original surface color. Edit, should have tested before I wrote... If you save you step file as version 2.03 you won't get colors, if you save as step 2.14 you will get colors. If you can save your solids as parasolid, Mastercam will put each one on a seperate level for you. Neil.

That's a pic from my 430 hp turbo charged Suzuki Hayabusa. From what I can tell, the head of the valve snapped off and was pushed back into the head by the piston. Hard to say for sure because the piston was a bit of a mess as you can imagine. I rebuilt the motor last year and put 16 pounds of boost(about 350 hp) to it without any problems, this year I'm going to turn it up and see what it'll do. As for the computer, when it's processing Mastercam, the total cpu usage hardly gets above 26%. Neil.

Bogusmill, here's a screen shot of a quad core (Core 2 Quad Extreme X9650 - 3 ghz). Neil.

The 8 gigs of ram came with the package, Windows only sees 3.2 of it. I may upgrade to x64 if I feel I need the for it and if I can find all the drivers I need.

Thanks!!

Hi Fred, have you tried a "surface finish contour" toolpath? This would finish the walls but you'd have to make a pocket program for the floof. If the walls are vertical you could also use a 2d contour toolpath and set your cotour type to "ramp". Or you could use surface rough restmill but this may cause extra rapid moves when it gets to the floor.
