x4
Will 5 axis multisurf always follow the u-v direction of the surface or can you change that without recreating the original surface ? The part is 5 axis walls with a curved surface for the floor , The floor surface was created on an angle to the walls and will not follow the direction of the walls. Sorry I cannot upload any file.
Other thing is I thought that 5 axis Flowline would follow the u-v and I also thought that Multisurf was kinda like 3d Parallel where you could set and angle for the cut ...guess I was wrong ?
Thanks for any help

I found that shutting off "true solids" will ushally fix the problem but you can't move the model afterwards.

Does anyone else have the same problem , I just want to copy some wireframe stuff to another level , Highlight what you want ,right mouse button click on Level box & copy to level ...when I do this to a blank level it NEVER works. I have noticed that I can COPY when the level I'm coping to have stuff in it already ,but if its a NEW level it NEVER works. I always end up translate zero then MOVE result to new level ....Anyone ? Am I not doing this the right way ?...another way to do it ?

Hi ,doing multiple parts in fixture ,trying to pick drill points from arcs. I want to do this with NO point sorting at all,every time I do this the system seems to always filter on dia for some reason , When you goto the point geometry box sorting is off ...something I'm missing here ?

wondering if anyone has a way to create standard comments in the comments box for toolpaths ....example "SEMI FINISH" ,maybe a way to hook up a drop down menu or something like that ?I made a list in a text file of things so now I copy and paste but it would be nice to hook this text file up to a drop down box somehow ?

try create constant parameter curve,should give you an arc on the surface ,you may have to flip the direction with the arrow key.

thanks for the replys ,but I found an excellent program to do this
works great
again thank you...
wondering Now if anyone has a way to create standard comments in the comments box for toolpaths ....example "SEMI FINISH" hate having to type these things over and over ,maybe a way to hook up a drop down menu or something like that , that would have a list of comments that you could use over and over without retyping ? I made a list in a text file of things so now I copy and paste but it would be nice to hook this text file up to a drop down box somehow ?

I like to use upper case in the comments box for toolpaths ,sometimes I have typed them in lower case. Is there an EASY way to change without retype .

Kinda hard to explain, when xform is used the angle selection box contains numbers ,can they be set or cleared or set to standard numbers ?
Same thing with the bounding box,when I bring it up it always has .125 .125 .125 in the "expand" box,any way to clear these or set these numbers?
