OK how do I turn backup on, and why do I type slower than any human on the planet?
-
Very cool, do I know you from somewhere?
-
I never enable backup. I'm a rebel! But during development of new products I save the file at each level of creation with a new name that way if I take a wrong turn I can go back to the last drawing that was on the right path and recover. I usually end up with 15 to 25 drawings between the points originally taken and a finished model. I tried the delete thing and it worked just fine for this particular project, thank you. Would like to know how to select blanked entities though just to see what they are at some point.
-
OK this sounds like something I would like to do. How do I display the "blank" entities? Thanks BTW all of you for the replies.
-
OK but is not a trimmed surface a surface in it's self? Why does it need a base? AND why can't the "base" follow the "real" when you move surfaces to different levels? It is so messy having a gob of levels that are not needed showing.
-
Been doing surface repair all day, bouncing between levels creating geo, surfaces, trimming, curving, recreating... Now I have a bunch of levels with one or two entities on them that do not show on the screen. In 9 I determined it was data leftovers from trimmed surfaces, but shouldn't that be cured in X6+? What exactly is going on and how do the pros skate by it. I know I could "un name" them and make them disappear but I wonder what is really there and how to really get rid of it.

And did you forget your login?

I use rest rough all the time in X6 and have not noticed an issue. It has kinda become my roughing path of choice. Show it what the stock is and it does a good job of ignoring what isn't there. I'm a newbee to X6 but I don't see an issue.

THE NEW UMC-750 Universal 5-axis Machine

There are plenty of table/table designs that have no support. Small second rotary or 5C setups usually. I think it was just hoping and shooting from the hip rather than in depth engineering. I have a minimill and I see several things wrong with it, big things like tool changer position that they did change in subsequent models. Try to change the coolant in a mini. real nice Gene. -
Is this a bug or am I stupider than I thinked I was

My feet are stuck in Columbus right now and I'm only going .001 a minute on the escalator of life. By the time I'm 124 years old I might make it to Cali, hope I can still see the screen -
I think I get it... so if the 4th person of 4 seats wanders off to take a dump and ends up talking with the general manager for 2 hours, someone can hop on and post something? When I open up the 3rd instance of my 2 seats it warns me and will not let me post... but I can still draw and toolpath AND save my work. Hope this is the way it is supposed to be and not a bug because I like it.

They added the support bearing at the end of the turntable too -

6 months later a REAL nice looking part and a spindle replacement needed. No tool wear at all -

OK I am stupid then, thought it meant feet per tooth. I've never seen it called as "feed per tooth" only IPT. There is a half hour of my life I will never get back. Thanks G -
OK some figuring and a few on line calculators later AND plenty of confusion.. shouldn't this FPT be IPT?
-
And you can instruct it to break end mills also, trust me. It does what you tell it.
-
Ditto, thats why I was thinking mechanical problems
-
Are both the machining centers you tried it on anilam crusader M's? Just kidding but it isn't out of the question that 2 mills in the same shop could have similar z axis problems especially if you use them for a lot of peck drilling.
-
I thought it was your phone, sounded like you were talking underwater. Where is the tentative gathering?
-
Does he look like his avatar?
-
That has radial written all over it, anyone else think this? Usually slower but great for shapes like that. I did a Chrysler logo once playing around and radial worked great. I'm assuming there is a surface finish radial in X, haven't done it since 9.

E-Mastercam should have sent us stickers upon request so we can identify the members. Hey webby, consider it for '14?
