Issue importing solids into Mastercam (everthing on a separate level)
guitar replied to daryl_y's topic in Industrial Forum
What I don't like about this is if the levels have been named, you must select every level and delete the name independently to clean up the level manager. -
Click end point. Enable "point on curve" snap. Then specify line length of 1." Then pass the mouse over the other line in the approximate intersection point. Hover over until the "Point on curve" symbol pops up. Click. Done. Oh yeah, be sure you are using NX and not MC.

Where I work we could surely use alot more new holes to put our bosses in.

How do I tell if my version of X9 is 3D capable?
guitar replied to MILLRUNNER's topic in Industrial Forum
One thing you'll love jumping from X5 to X9 is all the new bugs. -
Need help Control Cutter Comp with the Rolldie.dll
guitar replied to Brute440's topic in Industrial Forum
Why is rolldie still a dll? It seems to me that chooks should be used only as a testing application. Once they are proven MC should add them to the operations. And, you do see I state ONCE THEY ARE PROVEN. MC has a real bad habit of adding unproven "features" to the operations. -
Here is the best thing. Wen the economy slows, so does the payment. Places go from 30 days pay to 60 to 90 to 120. Then, you are lucky to get paid at all.

Yes, a sweep will. My guess he he will spend the next 90 minutes looking at his broom to try and figure it out.
-
I am mean like you.
-
lol. How are we supposed to know what the part looks like?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The circle was just an example. Make it whatever shape you like. Like I said. Your post was not very specific. Is there a way to trade my guitar for a banjo?
-
kind of unspecific but: Create circle. Create gear profile around circle create helix (if needed for twist) If no twist extrude profile and circle and then to boolean to add or subtract to part. If using twist, create swept solid of profile and circle and then to boolean to add or subtract to part.

Mastercam HASP not found when trying to open CIMCO
guitar replied to JeremyV's topic in Industrial Forum
That's not funny. That's sad. Cimco is one of the most useful tools on the planet. Yeah, we got a great discount with our MC subscription. BTW...I made some really nice macro templates for Fanuc and Brother machines if anyone wants them. They have alot of helpful diagrams and output basic code lines for beginner programmers, or for simple fixturing without having to boot up MC.. -
It might be your geometry showing through. If the screen you launch the simulation from has any wire/point geometry, it will show up. Points show up as dots alot of times.

We could not do anything that complicated where I work. Where I work they still have not figured out that probes are not cutting tools.

Flowline spiral cut.

The new version of milling advisor requires internet connection. The older versions do not.
-
I would use Swiftcarb Ramp mill AV3 end mills in aluminum.

You answered your own question Jeff. I used to scale my model the same way when making molds.
-
Horizontal, arbor mill power fed with a stack of slitting saws spaced appropriately. You can probably do it in 1 pass in about a half an hour.

What is the dominant software in your country?

Sometimes it can be glitchy.

I work for a company that has been in business for 30 years and they still have this mentality. They have 50 machines. Of course they bought everything with absolutely no options, like through spindle coolant. Yeah, they were all great, fell-off-the-truck bargains. Haas indexers on fanuc mills. But, when they want to make life a headache they got every possible option to do that.
-
That's a great mentality. Are you running Mastercam v1 on windows 3.1?
-
Well, instead of whining about the fact that he did something different than what you would do (as machinists typically do to get the spotlight put on themselves about how they saved the world from something that did not need to be fixed) write your own and stop whining. Then maintain many posts when only 1 is needed. Yup, makes alotta sense, in a 3rd world sort of way. My post works flawlessly.
-
Let's just say, in order to make the user's life easier, the programmers task may be harder. Yes. Everything in the post had to be broken down by control/machine type and controlled with "If/then" type statements. It works like a charm. Getting it going was a b1tch though.

Engraving on rotary "A" axis, chatter problems
guitar replied to jim1960's topic in Industrial Forum
Do you have a Hardinge rotary table on your Hass?
