quote: If I switch to any other he part will dis-appear. I have to fit to see it This happens to me not sure why? quote: when I try to pan, it snaps to front. not sure about this problem. quote: I click my center mouse wheel to pan, My mouse is set to Dynamic if I click and hold and pan if I roll the wheel no click!

quote: 2nd Question: After I finally get my part in place, I'll go to my top Gview, then when I click my center mouse wheel to pan, it snaps to the orginal view before I created my new WCS. I can't for the life of me figure this out. In your wcs View Manager you need to have "C" & "T" "=" to the Named view that you want to see on your screen. HTH

Missed it by that much

Check your WCS That happens to me if I select Geo thats not in the right plane. HTH

I'll see about doing that quote: "Lilu Dallas Multipass!" I thought of the same thing when I was typing it "The 5th Element"

Is this a hole or a c'bore, Are you trying to hold a tight tolarence. When I set for Ramp I set by Depth I use .025 or .050 for roughing then set your stock to leave on walls and check make pass at final depth for c'bores. Then for my finish pass cut the depth by half watch your lead-in lead-out. HTH

Broaching on a Haas, Anyone doing it
X-L Engineering Corp replied to Jayson Kramer's topic in Industrial Forum
We use the Slater broaches non-rotary because of the shapes we broach "D" and double "D" I rough mill then broach. Try not to leave any more than .005 per side. I have done 3/4 hex before in an old VMC that had a spindle orientation pin not all machines have that most are magnetic now, but back to the story you could see the machine twisting as the broach went in and out. We ended up sending it out for EDM. Good luck. -
quote: contour path, ramp +1000 I use this all the time for Roughing and finishing .0004 Bores. Never tryed circle mill that way before I'll have to give that a try next time.

Changing it back to Absolute worked but if I'm selecting the point even in Incremental it should still work?
-
Sorry for the slow reply but we are working only 8hrs a day 4 days a week and at home the rest of the family gets the Computer. quote: do you have "keep tool down" ticked by chance No quote: Incremental or absolute retract? It's bitten me plenty of times 'cause it defaults to .1 incremental. I use Incremental but I always select the point I want to ref, to?
-
I don't know if someone has covered this but I'm having problems with this. The retract is not going to its point between tool paths no matter what I do to select the points. If its me maybe someone can show me what I’m doing wrong.

change coolant setting in tool files
X-L Engineering Corp replied to kens1's topic in Industrial Forum
I'm not sure but I beleive that you can only do that by Operation? Settings / Control Def / Operation Defaults HTH -

quote: in most cases I am looking to rotate a NON-standard view. Same here but this is how it’s done. After a while you get used to doing it that way. 75% of our work here is Rotary 4th Axis and you need to create a new named view for each non-standard angle. I'm sure that’s not what you wanted to heir but that’s how Mastercam is setup to handle it.
-
simple 2 axis slant will work fine or your reseller sometimes has some extra post they could give you.
-
You have the 7 standard views but after that I think that with a new rotation it’s going to ask you for a new named view. HTH

From "X"
-
I saw that but that is looking for a specific file not just the location
-
I now the location Mastercam is looking for is C:/MacamX4/data but I can't find it under config it used to be their
