I use the "Keep Scaling" checkbox and set it to 1:1

Yes, that's how I always do it, I don't know why this program is acting differently. I just created an stl from verify and moved on.

Sounds like you like it there

No, he said he didn't link any files to it.

Yes, I've done it a thousand times, but they are greyed out in this program. As I say, it was created by a coworker, so I have no idea what might be the reason for this behavior. I created a fresh stock model, but got the same greyed out functions. It's a 2021 program.

I am working with a coworkers program and I'm trying to create a pmesh from a stock model, but "View Stock Model", "Stock Model Export to STL" & "Stock Model Covert to Pmesh" are all greyed out. Does anyone know why this might be?

This would be much easier to solve if you could upload a MC file

Do you have the macro variable #780 being updated to the absolute value that you want?

This is 2021, but I think it might be what you're looking for.

I came back to say that this worked flawlessly.

How can I reduce faceting when using flowline?

Nope, still doing the same thing.

Understatement of the week

I'm in the middle of another fire, but I'll try this as soon as I'm done.

Ok, I opened an uncorrupted file, chose the A2_5XKOMO_VMCHHCB machine to simulate. There were a few crashes as I didn't reorient my models, but everything seemed to run correctly. After saving & closing the file, I tried to reopen it and after MC tried for 10 minutes without completing the opening process, I killed it with Task Manager. @Chally72 What all would I need to zip up to send this in? I can create a Z2Go of an uncorrupted file of course, but do I also need to include my entire MachSim folder or just the folder for the machine I created? Also, what is the address for QC/Tech support?

I can't get that far, the MC file crashes as soon as it opens.

The Onsrud is different. I couldn't get models from them, so I had to measure & create them myself. A nice challenge. Doesn't do me much good if it corrupts my programs though.

I just checked the xml file & all of my changes are there.

I believe so. I can open and save all other MC files in it. I don't know if it matters, but this is in 2021

Yes, I've always had the slowing problem on large or complicated files. But the behavior I'm seeing now is even on simple files. I'm just guessing here, but It seems to be related to how long the file is open. And it absolutely just started, for us, when we moved to WIN 10. The irony for us is that we only made the move to WIN 10 because CNC had previously said that 2022 would not run on 7.

I was able to get back to this project again today. I have the machine modeled and the kinematics assigned correctly. I opened an existing file and ran simulation. Everything worked and displayed just as it should. However, after I had saved & closed the MC file. When I tried to reopen it, the file crashed as soon as it opened! Luckily I had saved the file in a "Testing" folder before doing any of the simulation work, so I haven't lost anything important. I tried it with a couple of different files, and this happens with all of them. Anyone have an idea of what could cause this?

Yes, this started when we moved to Winduhs 10 from 7.

@bd41612 & @Bob W., what base post are you using for these custom drill cycles? MPMASTER?

I use it to calculate IPM feedrates for internal & external threadmilling. THREADMILL SPEED CALCULATOR.xlsx

You can use the origin icon at the bottom of the planes manager to associate the planes origin to a geometry element. Then when you relocate the geometry, the plane follows it.
