All things unchecked ,not making any difference Also "C" and "T".... you have to really wach them they jumping with new views . So far 4 axis in Mastecam doesn't look too impressive to me .

B T W Looks like v9 don't have this problem .

Following by tutorial geting problems with WCS . My head is going to explode. Each time i open and close the view manager in the left corner the T/C plane became "not saved " and in table of view manager I'm getting new lines "NEW VIEW #1...." I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT'S COMING FROM

SORRY, where i can find this parameter?

Hi All, I have been using Mastercam for a long time, but I never used for 4 /5 axis machining. I’m glad I have a chance to do it . I purchased the book “4/5 Axis Training tutorial “ by “In House Solution” and now I’m about to finish tutorial 3 –“AXIS SUBSTITUTION ;ROLLDIE C-HOOK”. File for tutorial is here : http://www.emastercam.com/files/x3_45axis.html Tutorial 3 -Geometry and completed tool path Everything looks fine but in verify mode after machining pocket part is rotating and next rolldie c- hook operation it simulate on wrong place . I thing problem with some setups or .. .MMD file . I am using ” mill default . mmd “ ,everything recommended by tutorial Can somebody explain what is my problem ? Also I ask if anyone can share with me working .mmd file for regular VMC/ 4 axis (haas)so I can look thru set ups. I spent almost half day to figure out the problem with no success. So I gave up and asking for help. Thank you in advance

Hi all, Just wondering . Anyone here working for dental industry? What exactly using CNC machinig for this industry ? What kind of work need CNC machining here ? Everything interesting for me . Thank you in advance.

Hello . I would like to ask for advise . I would like to learn 5 axis machining/programing . I found online 3 Mastercam books by "In house solution " 1 4/5 axis Traning tutorial for x3 2 Advanced Multi axis X3 3 Profetional courseware 4/5 axis for X3 Anybody can give me advise which one of 3 I need to buy ? I have expiriance for 3D machining ,but not much on 4 axis and non expiriance on 5 axis Thank you in advance

So when it going to be released ?

Will be nice to have option to edit toolpath as WORKNC does . Easy cut by windows moves you don't want.

Looks like "lead in /out" is not working in pocket finish toolpath . Is it bug ?

Thank you guys , Is it mean you always running *.sdf? If i asighn my mucro under G113 eg and forse my post put this code on top of program ,it going to work with DNC conection ?

Superman , ------------------------------------------------ *.SSB is a schedule program where you can auto-load programs, set repeats, etc ( programs must reside in control ) ------------------------------------------------- ???????? *.sdf is schedule program as far as I know . Can you describe this . I am using ethernet connection , control is E100. I would like to avoid spining tool 18 which is my probe. So i would like to put in g-code output IF [vatol 18].....(eg) in head of my code output Do you have any tip for it ?

Can we use this branches by using DNC ? I have trubles with it. G113 - this code for calling sub/program wich in control memory (**.ssb for example ) and assigned for this code in parameters of machine .

Zoober What FTP site you talking about ? Vericut FTP site ?
