  1. I knew someone was going to ask that question at some point ........ I got this one ..... When its done !!!

  3. I would probally give a pencil toolpath a try

  5. I am using X3 MU1 and i am having trouble importing ops everytime i do it renumbers my tools how do i prevent this from happening it worked fine before i think i have just missed a setting somewhere ( i have already un checked assign tools seq on the file i am exporting from and importing too ) any suggestions would be great

  9. i did that and delete 4 of the 5 problems but the last surface is a huge one that i kinda need what would you suggest i do now?
  10. then can i change it back to a solid or do i us the surfaces to machine the part?
  11. I am using X3 and i am trying to do a waterline hsm cut on a solid and i am getting and error that says .....Bad trim surface found --use analyze test surfaces/check model to find others .... but when i go to analyze , test surfaces and solids, check models it tells me no errors found any help on how to fix this would be great
  12. Sorry for what confusion it worked fine in X2 so i am not sure what there is to be confused about but it is a pain trying to keep your tool numbers straight and i dont like the idea of having to save and reload the file every time i use a new tool
  13. When i change the tool number in the yellow boxes on the parameter page it changes the tool number in the operations manager but not on the tool list on the left side of the parameters page is there any way to fix this?
  14. i will give your suggestion a try next time it happens Thanks John
  15. since installing X3 every once and a while i get a problem with selected goemetry not high lighting and the only way to fix it is to save and reopen the file i am using a Quadro FX 4600 video card is there a setting i should try changing ?? and ideas would be great
  16. Mattstang70 i had the same problem with hitting esc twice to get the parameters box to come back up and i my system it was waiting for a point to be picked for sorting try going into your sorting menu and make sure none of the sorting buttons are high lighted ........... just a thought
  17. I amd trying to machine a 3D contour with a 1/2 ball endmill and i cant figure out how to keep the radius tangent to the line i am cutting.
  18. Some of those options in the FBM section look a little to complex for a 6 year old to understand just my 2 cents tho
  19. if somebody gets a chance i would not mind checking it out also : [email protected]
  20. in your control definition under the tool tab check your settings there
  21. 1/25.4 and multiply it by 250 comes out to 9.842
