  4. Cadcam Its OK to put file on FTP site
  5. CadCam Ive sent it again and without the bits that go inside it I cant see any probs with sticking it on the FTP site but ill check and make sure.
  6. Can someone help me , its my second mill3 job and I dont now where to start. Can I e-mail someone the part to give me some ideas and direction, I cant post to FTP site for some reason. Thanks
  7. Just an after note. If you do contact BDS global send them your CV with your e-mail. Apparantly the whole process can be very quick.
  8. This is my second job using mill 3 so this might be a dumb question and the first of many. Is there any way of setting max depth when using critical depths in pocket rough.

    Pdf Files

    This customer is a pain in the arse They only want to send PDF files and from what I can figure out is that its basicly a screen dump. I was wondering if there was a PDF drawing package so we could import PDF and export IGES or DXF. We are still required to M/c there parts to there drawing as there drawn geometry overides dimensions. Im going to tell them to wake up and smell the coffee.
  15. We have a customer who insists on only sending PDF files. Is there a way of converting them into something mastercam can use. Thanks in advance
  16. How do a get a hash # output into a program. I might be missing the obviuos. Thanks in advance.
  17. Im trying to modify a Heidinhain Post that was generously sent to me ( Thanks for all your replys to an earlier post) What i would like to know is 1- What forces the file extension ie .NC .EIA .H ect in the post or else where? Thats It for now Thanks in advance [ 02-14-2002, 08:29 PM: Message edited by: GREG ]
  18. Can any of you generous people out there e-mail me a working mill post (2 or 3 axis) for the above TNC 426 control. We have an ISO post but the M/c operators want to try using heidehain . Thanks in advance Greg Muirhead [email protected] [ 02-12-2002, 10:13 PM: Message edited by: GREG ]
  19. May be that if posts were free more seats of Mastercam would be sold . It was hard work to justify getting Mastercam in the first place then the $$ to upgrade to level 3. And now more $$$ to get a post that works. May be the 5axis M/c supplier shiuld produce the goods. Just a thought.
  20. Ive sorted the regen prob. Someone had used my PC to verify a program and clicked the regen toolpaths box and also clicked the dont show this box again tab. I deleted regen.dat file out and all is sweet. Apart from the drilling. Could it be a metric thing as all our file are metric Cheers
  21. How fast a responce was that. The drill time problem is from NCI code. Cheers
  22. Yes its still there. Can you e-mail me the latest chook and ill try reinstalling Mcam & pvcnc. Any idea about the drilling time . Thanks.
  23. Tried that and it comes back saying Some errors have ocurred to prevent sucessful instalation. Thanks
  24. Thanks Cadcam It wont let me install it because it cant find the lathe8.txt file, We only have Mill level 3 Cheers
  25. We are try to run PVCNC V4 in mastercam V8.1 using the C-hook and I'm having the following problems. Can anyone help please!!! when launching the c-hook it starts to regen all the toolpaths which can take considerable time on complex 3d models. The cycle time estamate is completly wrong when drilling and tapping ie hours instead of mins. Im sure this are minor problems to over come and there is no local agent around here so any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
