MCAM 17

cant figure out to set the planes equal to each other when a view changes.

thanks

hello,

In X8 it was easy to change the Z offset when you used planes to program the other side.  ie...Bottom

OP1 machine top... OP2 Machine bottom. I set bottom using planes to machine OP2. Cant figure out how to use the dialog box to move the Z datum to the top of the part.  

Thanks,

I figured it out geez....   

In X7 Hide/unhide asks you what you want to keep. I click All Wireframe and it leaves the geometry not the wire frame.

There is a difference from Geometry and the wire frame.  Im still trying to figure out where to click to say I want to keep All

geometry.  Is there a ALL button anywhere???

thanks

If I right click on tool in tool list to edit  or touch the tool in ops manger it crashes everytime..

Im sure its easy but I been trying cant get it...

Thanks,

mike

thanks guys im figuring it out.  I set  my WCs and TPlane and cPlane the same.  It works this way.

dont know if this is right but oh well.... Im bringing in other files from X7 and everything is cool. The origin

WCs etc.... is fine... im lazy   

It was easy in X7 to copy part to diferent level. im tryin to figure this out in 2017. any tips.

also I in plane manager i set back has top so I can drill side holes. In X7 you just put in th offset dimension for a new origin.  Im tryin to set origin to top of part and edge. I pressed unique but got lost

i clicked on the 2 new origin edges but nada.. help

thanks

mike

thanks,

i just went to options and trimmed edgeds and clicked on curves.

i should have lnow better. It came in has a solid

I brought in a parasolid.  i made it translucent and the geometry wont chain

they changed this so much its a bunch or heartache

I just starting using 2017. It was easy to rotate and setup a part in X7 

I just dont get how to rotate and setup the 3D part in 2017 .

I press right WCS tpo rotate part flat and it spins 90 I want it flat
