Trevor What is a shop floor traveler? Jody

sometimes when i try to extend an edge of a surface useing moldplus it pops up with a warning two nodes repeat. then it make a real ugly surface. is there anything that i can do to fix the sufaces? Thank you Jody

the beta v9.1 right? I was excited a box just came from Mastercam i thought that it was v9.1 but it was just a tee shirt. not that i dont like getting a tee shirt, it is the first item that i have gotten from MC that has not been a mouse pad. but i was hoping it was v 9.1. Jody

I think that i have ran in to that before. Is what I did to get around it was save the file then reopen it. That seemed to work after that. Jody

Thanks Bernie, I appreciate the help. I like the rubber duck and after you stretched it I think that It looks good for what he wants to do. How come you are moving up here? Do you have a job? We keep toying with the idea of hiring a second shift programmer/ wire operator/ moldmaker/ whatever else needs done. I don’t think that it is to mush to ask of the perfect employee to do all that and be a better programmer than me, work for a nice low rate and be very good at the job do you? Maybe that is why we have not hired anyone yet? Nobody here seems to want to learn MC, they want to program conversationally on the hurco’s. That really annoys the owner. Thanks Cadcam for the use of the FTP site. Jody

Does anyone have a 3D duck that you would be willing to share. A guy here at work is wanting to making his own decoys. So I thought that before I start to attempt to draw this for him I would ask here. thanks Jody [ 12-31-2002, 07:32 AM: Message edited by: jagourley ]

I uploaded a PDF of 2003 calendar in to cadcam's ftp in the directory all pictures. i don't know how to make a link so i will let someone else do that. I email mastercam at [email protected] and they said they would send me a calendar. thanks jay for the use of your FTP site. Jody

Thanks PDG that sounds like a good idea. While you are making it more user friendly do you think that you could go back to the V8 check boxes in (Selection Mask) window? If I want everything checked except surfaces and solids I can not just go click on surfaces and solid to uncheck them. I have to hold the ctrl button then click on them. I feel that I am being picky but that annoys me that I have to do it that way now. Thanks Jody

How do I get the curser to default in the (scale factor) window and not the (number of steps) window? Version 8 it defaulted in the (scale factor) so it is habit to be looking at the print while I am adding shrink to a part. Now in Version 9 I type in 1.016 in the (# of steps) and not the (scale factor). Thank you Jody

Is there a program that can dimension in metric then convert it to english with just a few clicks? Does MC do this? If so how? Thanks Jody

The wire guy and I went to Agie and Charmilles yesterday to find out which is the one to buy. We were at both for a good four hours and I still do not know what to tell the owner. So I turn to you all, what are good and bad of each? We have an Elox now and I have ran a Charmilles. Thanks Jody

I am a Webelos Leader, I was planning on cutting a face on my car. There was topic 6 months ago or so that somebody had a MC file of face, I think that I still have it on some computer. I don't like it when the parent does all the work on a pinewood derby car, in my case it is I feel that it is OK, my boy is only 11 months old. I thought that have a face milled on a car would be a good discussion piece.

what is "the dongle" thanks Jody

Thanks Bullines, I have not put a HD in before, i will be attempting it today. Jody

We have the pro-E translator, but i have never seen that .dwg.58 exention before. Our have always been a .prt.# Sorry i couldn't help more Jody

We just bought a 30gig HD that i will be putting into our Dell 500 with 768 MB mem. i am running win 98. i am wondering what advantage there is to partitioning it to make a swap drive out of part of it and how much? Also how do i make windows use the partitioned drive as the swap drive? Forgot to say thanks (the boss interrupted me) Thanks Jody [ 08-01-2001: Message edited by: jagourley ]

No! What really happened was the Gov't took the other dollar. But what i don't get is that they normally take more. Jody

cadcam, what is crack files? Jody

Thanks for the help. We might try the Just-In-Time CD-ROM Jody

Has anyone bought any books or cd's to help train others in the shop. We have a list of teaching material and was wondering which would be good to buy (if any): Learning Seris Mill Projects and Applications by CNC Sortware, Inc. Mastercam Training Tutorials by In-House Solutions, Inc. Just-In-Time by In-House Solutions, Inc. Mastercam Training Tutorials by CNC Software, Inc. Mastercam Training Series by Dr.S.C.Jonathon Lin & Dr.F.C. Tony Shiue Thanks Jody [This message has been edited by jagourley (edited 04-18-2001).]
