That worked great thanks again for all the help!!!

Can I have mastercam output multiple canned text comments on seprate lines. Ex MC output M0M11M26 I need M0 M11 M26 on there own lines Thanks I know it is a post question so don't tear me up

I will be using an endmill and cutting on the O.D. I put a line on the 2d and drove the tool. When I use the lead in and out it looks like it is starting off center. Thanks Pat

I just bought a new lathe with a 21iTb controller and need to add keyway cutting to the shaft work I already have in MC. Can I add them to my 2D drawings? I have asked my reseller and he just sent me to the example in the book. I can't follow this because I don't have "y" movement. Code needs to be somthing like preps Z.25,X.1,Z-.1,X2.0,HOME. Can someone give me advice?

I'm sorry I was talking about the cnc's

Does anyone have a good crash recovery plan?

It is from Solidworks. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dude ,, I don't think you have a solid to make surfaces from. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott, quote: Screen/ statistics read the bottom left of the screen,,do you have any solids listed there ?? =========================================== No solids shows lines, arcs, splines, and some surfaces?

I can not extract a wireframe out of my solid? I went to create surfaces but I can't even do that. may possable I am having a brain fart can someone refresh my memory?

THANKS again everyone ;~)

Paul, I contacted my reseller and waiting for a reply.I did get it in as a parasolid but no design tree.The ultimate is to have it work seamlessly with solidworks. note: THIS FORUM ROCKS!!!!

Paul, I have it installed but Mastercam can't find the parasolids in the SW file.Has this happened before or do I have a bad SW file?

Paul, When i open soliworks i do'not have the mastercam tab is it in a different tool bar display.

Is the mastercam pulldown in solidworks2004?

How do I ues the Mastercam to Solidworks converter is it a c-hook? it does not show up on the converter menu or do I need to use parisolid converter? THANKS, P.
