kill your Mcam , download the Verisurf software and install it and then : Gracjan
-
Verisurf is the third entry here at the moment . The free version should really rock your rocks , then there is X+ ..... fourth entry from the top I sent you my e-mail address via message
-
Top to Bottom - Conventional Bottom to Top - Climb milling ID / OD , Right -hand or Left - hand and Top/Bottom , depending on what your poison is these three switches will determine what you will get .

Send thru' some file sharing portal and just post the link. I can look at it. I have some long runs on the machine. Gracjan

try Verisurf's "Merge CAD files" . Has worked for me . Mcam would even crash upon opening one important file, Verisurf managed to steer it in succesfully. Gracjan

Probably silly question No:2 , but what about the Cimco editor ? Gracjan

I think it's providence telling you to move on to 2019 Seriously , 2019 is excellent compared to 2018 when it comes to stability. That is of course coming from somebody who has '17 , '18 and '19 all working . Only Moldplus is missing from 2019. And now some useful advice : you should also delete the mcamx.config and mcamxm.config files. Mastercam will recreate them at launch . ( gcode already mentioned deleting the .WORKSPACE file). Gracjan

I opened the Benchmark 3.0 file and let it rip . Almost all cores lit up . So recalculating will access several cores . But a single new toolpath being created dividing it's chores to several cores, I don't think so , but that is just an opinion. I'll let somebody else, better informed chime in on this . Gracjan

Intel i7 5 GHz (460 Euro in Finland) should give you a huge boost , I'm thinking -40%-50% in path calculation time reduction . Plz check out the Benchmark 3.0 test , so you can compare how you are doing. That is if you want a solution to your problem , otherwise it is what it is .(I hate this line as something being said twice does not make anybody wiser , but it's the best non-cynical one I have ) Gracjan

I reported the first posting to the Admins , hopefully they will restore the link to the zip file , as it is much easier to find it from the first posting rather than to wade thru' the whole body of the thread. Gracjan

My bad , I removed the file from my uploads , as I ran out of space, did not realize that there is a link there .... Gracjan Benchmark 3_0 for 2017.zip
-
This has been talked thru' once , but here it goes again.... There is a free software called Inkscape, which I have personally once used and got really good results, much better than with Rast2Vec . Gracjan

You are assuming that a tolerance value built into three or four parameters will behave in a linear fashion ? The system tolerance is greyed out for your protection. Gracjan
-
saving the file and re-opening it has worked for me in the past. Mind you everything is way better in 2019 with these things (stability - rock solid , etc) Gracjan
-
I'll wait for the 5 GHZ when they are off the shelf stuff . I am actually cool with the speed I have now . Benchmark 3.0 under 3 minutes. Gracjan
-
thanx , did not realize disk space is limited .... Grtacjan

as usual , if you want a good result , you have to put in some work. My first shot at this with Power Surf was good enough to cover the hole but was not aesthetic.. "Divide et impera" worked here quite well . When I broke every hole into three separate Power Surfs , the result is good looking. As usual with any complex tool you have to learn how to use it by trial and error. MY quota for uploading is now so small , I only got to upload a sliver of the whole thing Gracjan

I can't believe I need to ask this.... Manual tool change
pullo replied to jaydenn's topic in Industrial Forum
If you have Heidenhain , in many cases , if your tool number exceeds the number of physical pockets , the machine will empty the spindle and comes close to you asking for a tool. Done , easy ... Gracjan -
Mastercam 2018 Runs Slower on Latest Hardware
pullo replied to GCPITAdmin's topic in Industrial Forum
Yep , it's the frequency that counts . There is nothing special about XEONs when it comes to Mastercam use . I think the Benchmark 3.0 is a good documentation for these statements here. Gracjan -
Pete , I looked for a posting on the STEP read in I sent you and not finding it , I remembered we used "back channels" , as the geometry I sent was customer geometry. I read in the file I sent you and indeed , the solid was very much "solid" . As I can't remember what was wrong with the reading in at that time , I must conclude there was something wrong with it and now it read in fast and clean . But I'd like to point out again that the "sample.stp" , read in error free in X5 and now with 2019 PB5 it has errors , so it seems we are not out of the woods here ? Gracjan
-
I ran a test a few months ago , several other systems (like 5 of them ) pulled my step in without an error , but X9 ,2017 , 2018 and 2019 would not . Even X5 pulls it in fine Gracjan
-
I seem to have hit some upload limit , I'll post the pic of the part in X5 tomorrow . Or you can try X5 yourself... Gracjan
-
I am sorry to inform anybody who says it's the sending end that is wrong here, read the part for example using X5 .. Comes in perfect... I have documented this to CNC software around the 2019 push, but I have not seen any improvement in 2019 myself . I have V9 , X5 and X9 on my machine for stuff like this... Gracjan
