Select your operations and right click, then edit selected operations, change nc file name. That should do it.

I had this problem once. the problem was we had lost our permission settings on that pc and we did not have read write acces to the right folders. do a search for db.ovf and you should find the info.

In direction 2 you need to type in a positve value but hit the arrow under the angle dimension box. That will transform it in a negative direction.
-
Or it can be changed under Analyze Entity Properties (F4). Thad's way is easier though.

Not sure about the background color but I know that you cannot print multiple veiwports on the same page in X.
-
When working with multiple surfaces, I like to use different colors. However if I extend a surface in X it changes color to the current system color. Is this a bug or something that I can turn off? Has anybody else noticed this?
-
I see now what you are saying, when I tranlated a solid that I created the same thing happened. when I translated a solid that I brought in from pro e it did not recreate the edge curves. Could there be something in the solid creation settings?
-
When I translate a solid with or without edge curves it stays that way. There must be something.

That did the trick! Thanks John. I'm a little overwhelmed (like a lot of people are) trying to learn X on the fly and still be productive.

I am trying to post a 4axis program in X using the generic 4 axis post that came with X. I am using tool planes for all 4 sides but when I post my program the backside toolpaths are posted at 180 instead of 90. Has anybody seen this before and do you have any suggestions. Thanks. John

I can keep hitting the undelete in X and have it undelete one at a time. I have an undelete button on my toolbar.

Paul, I tried what you suggested. I also switched it to a parrellel toolpath. About 250 lines into the program it tried to wrap around the bottom of my part. I have break arcs on quadrants. The tool tried to go 37.5mm (1.5inch) thru my part. Like I said it looks like it's trying to wrap around the bottom side. I can't see this anywhere in backplot or verify. I'm guessing the simple solution for now is to not run the filter? Corby (AKA Deckerc)

Force_index seemed to do the trick. Thank You!

Trying to get my post to output M11 and M10 to unlock and lock my rotary axis. I am using the generic fanuc 4 axis post. I set ROT_LOCK to 1. Anyone know what I'm missing? Thanks

Mastercam X Quick Reference Card

Looks like it is going to be great, can't wait to use it! -
I have never had any luck with reverse posting but, depending on how complicated a program it is, you could delete all the m and g codes,feed rates and speeds and rename just the x and y values as an ascii file. When you convert the ascii file in Mastercam it will give you points at those locations to create geometry from.
-
Could it be that your probe is gummed up or the battery in the probe, is it old? The Renshaw probe we have is supposed to have a repeatability of .00004 so there is probably other factors.

Heavy Metal If you cut this as a 3D contour using the MPMaster post it should work. On the tool paremeters page check the rotary axis box and make the rotary diameter the same as the od of your part. Also you will want to check the axis substitution button, substitute Y axis button, and choose your rotation direction. Also don't forget to turn off cutter comp. Good luck I hope this helps and that I did'nt forget anything.

G-10 is very abrasive and because of the glass content will tend to bow. I have never run coolant on it, maybe a little water if need be. Be sure to wear a particle mask as this is nasty stuff. As far as speeds and feeds, I would run it on the slower side to preserve tool life.
-
If you use the ASCII converter with your point data, you can then create splines with which to create your surfaces. I have used this method to program roll and form dies off existing ones that have cracked or broken. It works great.
-
We use Backplot and Verify and sometimes Camaix and lots of caution at the machine because of MultiXpost.
-
We use skimmerators from Barrett Co. Just drain them off once a month or so. Cost is about $600 but well worth it. Runs 24 hours a day with no worries. We have 4.
-
pronc, Your method worked for us as long as we did set selected not set all. Thanks for the help as this is an unusual problem.
-
Actually the problem is the part is modeled either above or below the tolerance. For example 1.000 hole +.005/+.010 meaning the hole is not 1.000 but 1.005/1.010. I tried the method pronc suggested but it did not work.
