I assume the slot is wider than the tool your using. Other wise if the slott width and tool dia are the same use Contour. Jay is right, create a point where you want it to start. When the Pocket command prompts for the chain, pick the point first, then pick the chain. Same works for Contour. Mike Mattera

Backup, Backup, Backup. If you dont have a DVD burner on your system , get one. Copy the whole damm C:Mcamx folder to a $2 dvd and THEN install your update. CNC cant possiblly test for every possible configuration in the world. Be smart about how You do things. If you have a business to run and this software's performance is an important part of it, Be Safe, Be Smart & Backup BEFORE you install an update. Mike Mattera

It's good that you "cut the cord" to make your transition to X. But you can still run V9 if you want to. If your having trouble running V9 you need to get the Drivers-x.zip file from the Mastercam.com site.

It's just like the spokes in a wheel. The further you are from the center hub, the larger the gap will be at the outside of the wheel. Set the offset to the inside radius of the elbow and make your angular step smaller. Try using a Smooth Gap transition.

Surface Flowline Multiple Surfaces
Mike Mattera - TFM replied to FITIN IRISH's topic in Industrial Forum
To create a flowline effect you can use Surface - Finish - Project Blend (Finish Blend for X). It creates a flowline "style" without the constraints of the "Flowline" toolpath. Mike Mattera -

I always thought people counting the number of "posts" on the forun was silly. But I just looked down and saw "899" and then I thought "Oh What The Heck". Please join me in the meaningless celebration of my 900th post on the emastercam forum (and the crowd goes wild). OK I'm done being silly now Mike Mattera

You purchased a license for one PC. You need to buy another Draft to run it on another PC. You need one Draft for each PC/Person using it. Mike Mattera

Posts can be timed. All Integrex posts cost $. if you didn't buy it, I'm sure it was a 30 day trial or something. I hear the In-House Integrex posts are the best. The cost of the post is insignificant compared to the cost if a $200,000 machine that's not running parts. Mike Mattera

My H(comp) and D(comp) numbers are 0??!!??
Mike Mattera - TFM replied to Metal Flake (clocked in)'s topic in Industrial Forum
First Select Your Machine. Then... Control Def. - Tool - Add To Tool and set the Length and Diameter to Zero. Then, H & D will always be = to the tool number. Mike Mattera -
Hyperthreaded P4 2.8 overheating when Mastercam running

The answer is simple..... Update to X. Mike Mattera -
Is there supposed to be a number afer the decimal point? or Is the position X1.000 Y-1.000 If it's decimal point programming that's all you need. Does the code run in your machine? Or are you just trying to make it look a certain way? More zero's wont make it more accurate. Mike Mattera

What Pete! Do you need more information than that? Mike Mattera

Open the post with your editor Find the progno$ variable in your post and create a line like this.... if progno$ = 0 , progno$ = 1111 put this line in right before the... "%" *progno$, e$ This might be in the pheader or psof section of the post. You lines might look a little different, but the basic meaning is the same. Mike Mattera

No one from CNC can list or talk about my training cd's for fear of getting their balls handed to them by Greg. They were very helpful in the past (and I appreciate it). But no one wants to get yelled at and I dont blame them. No matter how good these Training cd's are, it's not worth the verbal abuse they would have to endure. Thanks for the referal Steve.

What machine, what post, did you import a cad file, draw it in Mastercam, is it 3D , 2D ????? Mike Mattera
-
You brought it in with a Merge. It creates a Named Group. Groups are RED. Click on the word "Groups" in the lower right od your screen. Select the Item you "merged" in and hit the Delete button from the menu (your not deleting the geometry, just the named group). Now Go To.... Settings - Config - Colors and pick Group Colore X Use Entity Colors. That will stop it from happening in the future. Mike Mattera
