Morning everyone.

I'm having trouble deleting old planes that I have created.

I can't remember how to do it.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks

Joey

Thanks Pete

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is there a way to convert splines to arcs in "X"?

I can't seem to find it.

Joey

I was wondering how to do that myself. I never knew that before.

Thanks guys

Joey

Welcome Surf

Thanks John, That's how I did it in MC.

Thanks all

Joey

I'll try to put it on the FTP site tomorrow

Evening all

Just wondering if Mastercam has a wrap feature?

I got some 2D geometry and I would like to wrap it around a upside down U-shaped surface.

Project isn't working for me.

We were able to do it in Pro-E but I was wondering if MC had a way to do it.

Thanks for any input.

Joey

I have to echo what Kathy said.

It is pricy but for us it has paid for itself probably within 6 months.

Training is definitely worth it. I went to the 5 day training course and it was worth it.

There's alot to learn and practice makes it easier.

I also have to add that their tech support is tops. They are always ready to help.

Joey

We got it mainly for our 5th axis work. I'm in the middle of creating a thermwood 5th axis router for Vericut and whenever I get stuck, I call and the tech support is there with the answer.

Phil

I use Vericut myself. It has saved me a number of times. I use the mastercam verify on 3 axis stuff sometimes but I usually use Vericut because it's there.

Thanks John

Thanks Steve

but I'm looking to create a certain amount of points on each line.

Joey

Morning everyone,

I'm wondering where (create - point - along entity ) is in "X". I can create points at the node points of a spline but now I need to do it along a line. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Joey

ok I see it now.

Thanks John.

Can some one tell me where xform stretch in "X" is? Maybe they renamed it or something.

Thanks

Joey

You can select start point or select a point before you select your chain.

HTH

Joey

I got it to work.

I had to exit out and then get back into Mastercam. After that it let me regen.

Have to keep that in mind incase it ever happens again.

Joey

I also can not backplot any of my previous contouring operations. The geometry is there but it does nothing when I try to backplot them.

I'm pretty sure I have done this before. and

Morning all

I seem to be having some difficulty regening a drill operation in "X". I brought opened a mc9 file in "X" so all my toolpathes would be there. Then I just change the machine. This has been working pretty good for me. From there I just do my new toolpathes and all is good in the world. But today I some of the previous drill operations became dirty and I can't regen them.

I tried to repick the points and that didn't work.

I tried creating a new tool and that didn't help.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Joey

Roger,

I wasn't sure what you were talking about in the first half of your latest response, but I did check the disable hardware acceleration button.

That worked.

By checking that is it going to affect anything else?

Thanks

Joey

Roger,

That didn't work for me either.

Joey

I get the problem in both lathe and mill.

Morning everyone,

I got a question on backplotting in "X". It may have been touched on before, I don't know and I haven't searched for it.

Here's my question:

When I'm stepping through backplot, the tool backs up if I don't keep stepping. Is there a way to turn that off or something ?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Joey

Thanks John
