Here's what I think about that. This is a quote from house armed services committee chairman. Duncan Hunter. Its in the manufacting & technology news. "Today, because of the massive surplus over the U.S., China has dollars and they are paying for things like the sovremenny class missile cruiser, which is a carrier-killing machine designed by the Soviet Union to destroy American aircraft carriers. They are purchasing submarine cababilities from the Soviat Union. They are purchasing weponds technology from around the world and they are doing it with american dollars that are accumulting as a result of this massive trade deficit, which to a very large degree is a function of this new species of illegal subsidy that is being given to exporters by China's government--this currency manipulation."

Brain freeze How do I print to scale, small part about 3" x 1" x .375" thick. Thanks

Good advise from all... Bpin, Does it stem from abuse? Remember use but not abuse! Will the boss take a look at what the forum is saying? Or has there been to much abuse? just thoughts as my machine runs it final program for today. At 150% feed so I can leave at a decent time..... The owner knows how I run the shop.

Sorry Murlin, I just had too! Thanks Ben, I knew someone from cnc software would respond and shed some light.

I just received the latest North American Tool & Mold making product news magazine. Right inside is an article from CNC software introducing Mastercam X. What gives CNC Software? Interesting; The same mag has TekSoft CAMWORKS 2005 and Gibbs 2004+ Can't wait...... beers to all. How long do you think till we get it in our hands?

Are you sending over a part file or an assembly file? Assembly files do not show the automatic "part save" area.

Forum I need a model of a pine wood derby type car fo my son's wood shop class. Is there one in the samples or maybe the older mastercam samples. Or maybe off the FTP site? Thanks in advance all!

Thanks all; I had to delete everything I downloaded into the mastercam folder. Reload and execute everything (in order) and everything is good now! Thanks again gcode..Thad and psychomill

Thanks, gcode, Ok I will try into the temp folder. But do I delete the update I put into the mastercam directory first? Thad, I did down load the 0904 and the patches/updates oct 2004 but I guess it did not work as my mastercam screen still says 0304

Good Morning forum. I am very stuck here and its not in the snow. I have V9.1 0304 downloaded, But I can't seem to do the next one, 0904. Where should I start? What to do next? When i down load it were should I put it? In "C" drive in the mastercam folder? Or in "C" drive "temp" folder? And should I delete it and everything in its folder? Should I just go find the IT guy?

Thanks psycho. I have tried everything and I can't seem to do this. Dang Dang Maybe try again tomarrow. Have work to do.

I have just downloaded the newest maint. patch work (0105). How do I know if I have been doing all these downloads right or not? At the top of the screen after Mastercam it still reads Version9.1 MR0304. ?? ??

Where is addison, MG?

ktd,Did you get the answers you were looking for? Are we talking milling or turning? If you are talking milling then the filter was the best way for me to go with. But I did purchase more memory for the mill I'm running.

Oh boy do I feel foolish. "put brain IN GEAR before operating cad/cam system" Thanks Cadist I knew it was there somewhere.

Good morning forum How do I with surface finish contour? Why can't mastercam add a simple box (question) like surface finish scallop? (I'm cutting electrodes and have to watch my depth because of cutter issues) Thanks guys

Just got our second one. e-bay great idea!

Thanks everyone for all the responses. This is the longest...one for me!
