  1. No dice with ETM. Thanks for the suggestion.
  2. Thanks John. This thread saved me some time and digging.
  3. Our vendor has looked at Parlec, Sowa, Lyndwx, SPI, Techleader and Kennametal - all seem to offer the same standard projection and that's it.
  4. I'm not having much luck finding a variety of projections for end mill and shell mill holders with our normal suppliers. They seem to offer one projection per diameter and they are about the same from brand to brand. Any suggestions? .750 and 1.00 shell mill holders, .250 to 1.25 end mill holders.
  5. Thanks guys, remapping fixed it. Glad to have that function back.
  6. Almost everytime I open a .dwg in Mastercam some of the entities come in as my background color. I know they weren't created with that color. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Has it been addressed in MR2?
  7. On a Fanuc, if it is enabled, G68 X Y R, will do it. X & Y being the point of rotation, R the angle. G69 cancels.
  8. I have 44 points I selected in a specific order, but when the toolpath is generated it is doing them in a different order. Is there a setting I am missing? I didn't think I was using any kind of sorting.
  9. I get this all the time with .dwg. A lot of entities will come in black, but the engineer didn't draw them in black. I have black for a background color, so it creates problems.
  10. I had one go from 59 KB to 371 KB. I wonder why?
  11. Now that you say that about the color combination I see that mine works too, just doesn't show what ones are selected. Weird.
  12. Doesn't work for me either.

    Also Create Circle Edge Point works. Toggle the tangent button on, input your rad size, click on the two entities.
  14. I have this card - Quadro NVS 280 PCI-E - without much crashing. I have some minor graphics glitches sometimes, but nothing I can't deal with.
  15. I could be wrong, but I think you would need to create surfaces from the solid first to do this.
  16. I seem to be a slow learner on this one. Many times now when I am in a newly created WCS I open the View Manager to define a new origin. When it opens Top is always highlighted. I will forget about this and just assume my current one is highlighted, so when I select the new origin it applies it to the top WCS instead of my current one. Is there a way to make the current WCS always be highlighted when opening the View Manager? Has anyone else done this same thing?
  17. They used to follow the NC files destination, but not anymore. If it is a switch I don't know how it could have gotten changed.
  18. Has anyone else had this problem?
  19. Before MR1 my setup sheets always went into my current job folder, where my MCX files are. Now it is putting them somewhere else, and I can't remember how to redirect them.
  20. I hate to sound like a broken record, but .... When, When, When ???
