    Just break your spline somewhere (using trim/break at point). rechain, done. Worked just fine for me.
  2. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    +1 for thread milling...
  3. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Are you using a Fanuc? So tell me if I'm correct: We call G54 at start of program, then for other positions, move to that position (G00) then output a G92 (on a separate line) and cut the feature.
  4. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Ok thank's Why don't you use G54 to define your work offset the use G92 for positionning?
  5. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Just curious to know what (wire users)you use for coordinate systems (G54 or G92) with a Fanuc Wire.

    If you open your custom drawing and measure the distance from origine to the smallest diameter, what is the result?
  7. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    ...and you can use wireframe toolpaths too.
  8. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    You can't use Radial toolpath to do a undercut. Only surf contour and flowline.
  9. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    If you have a 4th axis, I think multiaxis option is not a bad investment...
  10. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Maybe vacuum holding with a fixture? I use it a lot but I do very small parts...
  11. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    I would use the rest rough toolpath but from the highspeed toolpaths (more smooth and better results in my opinion)
  12. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    I got the same kind of bug yesterday. I finally found that if the filter total tolerance is a little too high it do the loop like you explain. (By too high I mean .002" instead of .001").

    In the remachining box, you have to disable the Display stock option.

    Ernie, will it work's with X3? Thank's
  15. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    good tks,
  16. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Sorry, forgot a detail... we can't use custom tools for any 5 axis toolpath.
  17. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    In X3, we can't use custom tools anymore! In X2 MR2 it was'nt a problem.
  18. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    I did some test with the 2D high speed restmill... Not very optimal in my opinion. We can't optimise the cut order so it only cut by depth and not by contour. I found it strange that we can't cut more than one pocket with area clearance.
  19. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Or select only one of the entitys on the screen (ie: a point or a small line) and hit ALT-E (hide).
  20. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    From your original file, there's a little 0.1182" radius just under the tool holder that was corrupt. I just deleted it and did a new one. Plus, select all the geometry and join and it'll works.

    Est-ce que ton Mastercam est en français? Si c'est le cas, le nom des menus ne sera pas pareil. Il y a quelques usagers du Québec ici, alors, pas de problème à poster en français. Bienvenue...

    I'm looking for PDF manuals for Fanuc 31i's PLC. We asked our dealer for this manual but maybe somebody already got it here. Thank's
  23. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Anyone ever cut this kind of material? Looking for any suggestion (tooling, manufacturer, feed/speed,...). It's on a milling. Thank's
  24. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Or... when you start a new job, go in your view manager, right-clic, import, and select you template file (like John proposed before). You'll have access to all your views.
  25. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    We have all the options possible on our Fanuc 31i control. (AI contour, NURBS, 3D circles, ...). For our 2-2 1/2 works, should we only use G8 P1? Or do we have any advantage of using others options. We're doing a lot of 2D stuff, with a lot of very very small details in plastics. So we need good details definition (corners) and very high feed rates. Any suggestions? Thank's
