    That's the ticket! Thanks!

    Hmmm.... possible. Here's what I'm seeing. New Bitmap Image (2).bmp

    I've got a *.model Catia file that I need to save out as a parasolid or similar so the estimating dept can view it, and our engineers are just to busy to get to it. I have a seat of V5 R21 open, but when I open the model, the save as option is greyed out. What am I missing? In case you haven't guessed... I've never touched Catia before.

    Sadly the 8gb's meets SW's "Minimum system requirements"... lame.

    Lol. If I could convince them to upgrade the five to seven year old computers I would, but they're in the middle of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, so probably not likely. Unless I can absolutely convince them the RAM is the issue, I may be able to at least get them to install up to 12 or 16... maybe. So RAM seems to be the likely culprit?

    So we've got two computers here at work running SW2016 on Win7 Computer A: Intel Xeon e51620 3.63GHz(quad), Nvidia Quadro 2000, and 8gb RAM - Zooming frequently hangs up for seconds, to a minute at a time. Computer B: Intel Xeon W3505 2.43GHz(dual), Nvidia Quadro Fx 580, and 12gb of Ram - Zooming works fine. Any ideas why the superior CPU/Graphics card combo with less RAM is hanging up? Would the RAM help? Thanks.

    Definitely wish there were resources such as yourself closer by to learn from! But yes, just doing it more would probably help me. I only do multiaxis maybe 5% of the time. Also may look at picking up an Inhouse book too.
  8. kunfuzed
    What's the best resource for learning how to use these Multiaxis paths? To me the help file is just about useless for them....
  9. kunfuzed
    Thanks for the forwarding. I'll have to create an account to read it though. But yes, I will try your method in the future.
  10. kunfuzed
    Thanks again Ron! My reseller was also trying to describe that method, but like you said I may have "unrolled" them into the wrong place.

    Oh hey, one more question. Was the bug in the 2d HST Axis sub, or in trying to Xform it? I can not get the code to post the tool path itself in the right spot, it's about 90 degrees off. Thanks again for the Help! Really appreciate it.
  12. kunfuzed
    Hey thanks Ron! Makes me feel a lot better to hear that's a bug, lol. I'll give my reseller a heads up on that as well. And thanks for the pointers! That is kind of a bummer that the Multiaxis Rough wont behave like that. Maybe that's a worthy enhancement request?
  13. kunfuzed
    Here's the link: ftp://[email protected]/Mastercam_forum/X9_Files/WHEEL.mcx-9 The 2d HST path has the exact motion I want, but does not post correctly, just repeats over and over at the same spot. (when posted, it actually backplots correctly) This is all I'm able to get the Multiaxis Roughing path to do. I would really like to know how to get it to behave like the 2d HST. The goal, obviously, is to rough between the lugs after a lathe op. Thanks for looking! EDIT: We're stuck at X9 for now... waiting on IT for 2017...
  14. kunfuzed
    I'll try and post an example tomorrow! Thanks!
  15. kunfuzed
    Thanks for looking at it. I've got it in with my reseller, and in the mean time switched to a multi axis flow, which is working, but I have to leave stock on the floor and come back in and clean it with a surface toolpath. I would really like to know how to get this to work, or get similar results from a Multiaxis Roughing toolpath.
  16. kunfuzed
    For added info, I also have a 2d contour, without axis sub, in the same Xform operation that postitions as it should... so I believe it's some conflict with the axis substitution...
  17. kunfuzed
    Which other one? I thought I posted both pages... thanks
  18. kunfuzed
    I am xforming a 2d hst using axis sub around a cylinder on a 4th axis rotary. The code is running the same path 20 times in the same spot instead of moving 18 degrees each time. Any ideas? EDIT: 18 times at 20 DEG.... lol New Bitmap Image.bmp New Bitmap Image (2).bmp
  19. kunfuzed
    Oh man, I was totally wrong! I just had to wipe away the grease, and there were the 4 8-32 screws! Sheesh... lol Thanks!
  20. kunfuzed
    The pin is a "pull pin", so maybe if I remove the name plate, I can pull the pin, and the quill will slide out the back...
  21. kunfuzed
    Thank you for the link. The problem I had from looking at that diagram previously, was i could not figure out how to disengage the piston shaft from the quill. Neither that pin nor the 8-32 screw is accessible.
  22. kunfuzed
    Any one ever taken this apart? I'm stuck at how to get the air cylinder off.
  23. kunfuzed
    Never thought of the DPRNT function. Good Idea! Though I've never had to deal with a box either... always been fortunate enough to have the machine wired.
  24. kunfuzed
    Do you need macros for that? My goal here is to determine, using my working HA5C, that the control boxes are functional, so that I can sell them for a few bucks.
  25. kunfuzed
    Thanks! Yes they are all brushed.
