  1. The machine option but you also have to have the post output the correct format. Make planes but use a single wcs
  2. There is that option and every machine control calls it something different. If it's not on the machine you may have to pay for an upgrade
  3. Sometimes I feel multi-axis paths do not like to be copied.
  4. When I have to do this I usually save as bring the new model in and reselect or rechain.
  5. On modern machines sometimes I feel that the paths work smoother with no arcs with lookahead set to roughing.
  6. Ramp it to .300 and Define the hole as an air region.
  7. Other cam software does it too. It must average it. Ive seen customer models like that where they called 45 on the print.
  8. Uea we do t have a choice. Can't use the new machine without it.
  9. There is an admin who invites users via email. It requires an internet connection once overy 30 days. Our computers don't have internet for some "security" reason so they will have to make us usernames and an email account. Then we will have to have the internet activated monthly to login once a month.
  10. Sometimes it does weird stuff. Sometimes when I back plot the toolpath manager spases out and scrolls up and down rapidly
  11. We have to update to the current version from camplete 2018.is there anything weird I have to worry about?
  12. I cant see the file but you could flip the part and rotate it so the plate is upside down depending on symmetry. But I would xform mirror and put an moo in. Machine a couple indication holes or slots in the waste area to line it up.
  13. Make sure it's not getting corrupted from a file transfer.
  14. Our new mam they installed the probe today and the button is fully functional. It's basically the the phone app you can build your cycles send it to directly to MDI or save them and there's a program builder function.
  15. I used the create relative planes for the first time and I need to rotate my 5 axis home plane around Z. This causes the 4 relative planes to rotate also which I don't want. I can shift it in Camplete or make new planes and reselect them but I was wondering if there is a magic button for this.
  16. Yes, we maintain 4 seats. No need for 10 seats.
  17. This is the one. It interferes with trimming too
  18. Yes we are continuing to renew and use it for now at least
  19. Because it's either going to be subscription, or grandfathered one username license
  20. One guy at the old shop wanted me to make zero the edge of the raw stock. I gave him the girl in the car seaeme look.
  21. False bottom stuff gets programmed off the center. If it's a finished part and I'm doing fine boring all set to the datum surface. Now that a lot of stuff is probed makes it a lot easier you can come off datum services while you're not at the datum zero
  22. You can turn cutter comp off and you stock to leave or offset your geometry half the cutter
  23. I used a saw like that to trim the boxes down. Worked good for taking the extra 1/8inch off
