  1. You might have a license tied up . Ours doesn't even give a warning. It just lets you click on the operations with nothing happening
  2. I save a copy with the material in the name of I want it saved. Then you pick the one you want they will be relatively close to each other in the library
  3. is that the guy who was rambling about graphical control of the tool path? i need to re read this thread i missed where it went off the deep end
  4. trim tool path. supr easy make geometry half the tool bigger t least so it doesn't plunge into stockem
  5. sometimes you need to draw a custom one and depending where it overlaps you can control the tool entry area so it doesnt need to helix or ramp
  6. with rest machining you make the boundary bigger for tool entry. you only need to make one side bigger
  7. sometimes power surface can give you something good for avoiding a hole
  8. if you copy them you may need to rechain everything but all the settings will be the same so i think its a little less work
  9. there is an engraving path that should work. you could also use surface horizontal and pick the floor as drive and top of the letters as check but i would try a pocket set to zigzag with a tapered wall angle in depth cuts
  10. you would make a plane on the bottom and copy the operations and switch the plane to the bottom . then it will verify correct and you could either bost it all or just the first half. transform rotate may work with y as the axis of rotation but i would have to mess around with it to see. you mat need to make a rotation plane
  11. I did that for the yasda we have it was cutting a line on an angle before it did it
  12. you can force optirough to 2D with the steep shallow
  13. when i was messing with mine there was a value in the post for axis of rotation but it was older. it mat be in the machine def now
  14. You don't have to make a duplicate plane. You can assign a new offset per instance and keep the offset distance at zero.
  15. its for machines without look ahead. you take a piece of aluminum or delrin and mill a hole and spring it out. then you increase the feed until it overcuts and put the values in the machine def or that box i cant remember. then when you use the function it should slow down the tool to avoid overshoot on the servos.
  16. If it's trimming or tilting to avoid the holder it will need regen
  17. i get these with circlemill sometimes mostly with 10mm holes. never found a solution. i usually draw a new hole a little bit different size.
  18. on top of those i have found a tighter tolerance will remove those sometimes
  19. All three that ran the program. The pc4 is an ac machine. Both mam72 are bc and only a couple years apart
  20. Our yasda had a dynavision. You can see the flutes on the TV screen.
