I agree ... even Projecting them to a Z0 did not work ...
BTW ... if one of the enities is a spline, you will get the same message, in which case, extenting them pass each other work also ...
Just my 2.5 cents ...
Thanks, but this is not quite what I am looking for ...
I will have representatives from upper management, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter watching the demonstration ...
I would like to say, as Hannibal Smith would say, "I love it when a plan comes together." I don't want to fly by the seat of my pants (hey, did I make a funny? aereospace ... fly ... )
I have a month to put this together ... practice, practice, practice ...
I want to test different machining methods, compare cutters, etc. for ruffing pockets in aluminum ...
I will be monitoring the procedure ... BUT, my questions is "Does anyone have processes or produres already designed for testing?"
For example:
1) Use a stop watch to exact timing
2) Compute Chip load, volume remaovel, etc.
3) Different pocketing methods
4) Carbides vs. Indexables
5) ramping walls vs. side milling walls
etc.
Any input??????
Well, I guess there is no easy fix ... with it worked like previous version of X ...
1) Open Tool Manager, click on tool and change info ...
a) Click OK in Tool definition about to be updated
2) Open operation with tool in the Operation Manager ...
a) Double-click tool
Place cursor in Tool # box, hit enter
c) Click OK in Duplicate Tool number
d) Click OK to Toolpath dialog box
e) Regenerate Toolpath
3) Post
4) Repeat for all 277 toolpaths
PS I guess you cannot use the letter b followed by ) else you get instead
When I change the tool number in the Tool Manager, then re-select it in the Operation Manager ... post
Results are tool number remains the old number and tool height is the new number ...
Also, if I change in Control Definition "Add to tool" to "From Tool" only the tool number changes, but not the height nor diameter ... then post, tool number, height and diameter are still old numbers ...
it appears that this is only for Mastercam ... we used multiple systems and would like CATIA, NX, etc. to spit out the same format for all docs. Do they have another site the these products? Is there a third-party that does?
Dialog box title:
MCWhatsNew.exe - Unable to Locate Component
Content of dialog box:
This application has failed to start because XmLite.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
==========================================
I did an re-install, but gets the same message ... click OK and MCX5 works fine ...
How can i get to to stop this message every time I start MCX5?
Sorry, that is not allowed here ...
I get the error "Could not create: \\btlfilestorage\ ... \btl_temp_files\vepe6dow5f\dad.png" ATEMP directory is created with four files:
BNCI.BIN 0kb
tbstate.dat 51kb
DAD.png 0kb
lastchn.tmp 1kb
I have NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 with updated drivers ...
I downloaded Verisurf for X5 from the download tab ...
When trying to save it and then run, it would not work ... had to RUN instead ...
Also, the Hidden Line icon converted all my solids to surfaces ...
I have it set for "Adjust for Best Performance" with a Graphics: Desltop performance fro Windows Aero at 7.1 (the lowest sub-score)
When I have it on "Let Windows choose best settings", I get this error message:
Verisurf:
Could not create: (data path info)\DAD.png
Ron,
Everytime I used Screen Shot, X5 crashes immediately saying, "The application you were running has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I thought I posted this last week, but even searching I could not find the original post ... so here it is again:
I am working with dual monitors ... right is main ... left is working ... X5 is on the left, and Level Manager and Operation Manager is on the right ... but when I used the Backplot VCR, the "go" button is all the way to the left of the left monitor ... I would like to be able to "undock" the bar and move it to where I want ... Can this be done? If not, why not?
When I change the color of a solid, it remains the original color, but in wireframe mode it is the new color ... I know you can change a face or feature color, but what about the whole thing?
