Can you please expand on how you would handle "tombstone machining and vise flips"? I have a method that works, but I would certainly like a more efficient route if there is one.
-
Steve, I'm experiencing the same problem, did you ever come up with a solution?
-
can anybody help me here..I had to go back to X8 so I could verify correctly
-
WTH!! I'm updating an X8 file to X9 and when I ran verify all of my bull nose cutters now have a chamfer instead of a radius, and ball mills are chamfer tools. I just installed the latest patch and it didn't help. I also created a new tool within X9 and that didn't work either. please help!! and how do you insert a picture or screenshot in this forum..with snag it for instance
-
mill.set stopped working for some reason so X8 won't create set up sheets at all, any ideas? I'm getting ready to re-install X8 to see if that will fix it..

update cplane and tplane when changing graphics view
PROG_MAN_DO replied to PROG_MAN_DO's topic in Industrial Forum
here's what i found: in this particular file I'm programming it has multiple named views, when I set my tplane and cplane to a named view in the WCS manager of course the top view works great, but when I select front view it doesn't recognize the view and the T/C Plane doesn't change. so I rotated the WCS from the original view, and created a new named front view and everything is good I did the same thing for the right side view etc. now when I select front view or right side view from the icon everything works fine. looks like a bug to me.. -
for whatever reason, update Cplane and Tplane when changing graphics view isn't working for me. I have the update box checked in CAD settings in my config file and it doesn't seem to have an effect. what am I doing wrong?
-
downloaded your file and it worked fine for me..

I've used mastercam since V5.5, used it heavily from V6 to X, took another job in sales that diverted me from programming for a while, now I'm back. In the past, I used NCL for all 5 axis programming, NCL is no longer available to me so I'm going to use X7. How can I get up to speed quickly? is the Advanced multiaxis training manual good? are there any good sample files available? Where is the best place to go for 5-axis training? my local reseller recommended a local contract programmer. appreciate all the help I can get.. Russ
-
Can anyone send me the c-hook, (and/or give me information about), that allows you to modify the operation manager colors etc. I got a link from CNC Software but it's not working. thanks

Has anyone experienced unexplained beeping in X? We haven't been able to duplicate the exact keystrokes, but periodically, when we are using X, the computer will start beeping for a period of 20 seconds or so as if a key is stuck. I might believe that if it were only happening on my box, but we have another programmer who is experiencing the same issue on another box. we don't have this problem with any other applications, only with X.
-
Has anyone used this function? I have found that when you press the toolpath button it searches the operation manager for all operations associated with the chain, and if you watch closely, it will put a check mark briefly on the ops being used, but in the end, it only marks the last tool path used by the chain..I would like to see all toolpaths marked..
-
I can't find that in my help file..since I don't know how to paste screen shots in the forum here, I have emailed you what my help file looks like..
-
none the less, the mastercam help is wrong me thinks..
-
Where exactly are the exact steps. I have tried and tried and can't get it to work consistently. It worked once yesterday, but not since. From what I have seen the instructions are unclear, but, it could just be me..In the V92x functions.pdf it tells you to use Drag, and it doesn't work for me..Please advise.. guess what?.. Just as i sent me post, I saw the last line of the previous post that said not to pre-select, and who'd of guessed it works..My bad!! As I have stated before, I'm not retarded, just slow..

when you merge the geometry, it comes in as a group. Select Groups at the bottom of your screen and you will find your merged geo there. Simply delete the group, and your colors should clear up..I struggled with this one too.. HTH

+1000 inconsistent in X..and very irritating. clockwork in V9

The level Manager is making me woosey!
PROG_MAN_DO replied to Metal Flake (clocked in)'s topic in Industrial Forum
try this and tell me what happens. Alt+z then under the list levels select box, choose one your not using, named for instance. tell me what happens to the numbers. On my box they go competely out of order..what's up with that. Now try this. cut and paste a name via the ctrl+c, ctrl+v method. -
If you go into the machine definition manager, and inside of there, you edit the general machine parameters,(n the upper left corner) you will find the path to the tool library. I have ours mapped to the network as well and I'm having no problems..My machine definition is local on each box. in the settings configuration, files, I am also reading the post, and tool library off of the server. HTH
