    Can you control minus To zoom out and adjust the window. The go to 100% and refit the window?
  2. Leon82
    You can make a solid that represents your stock on another level and create your stock model from that
  3. Leon82
    Verify the ops you want and save as an STL, then set that as stock with the file option.

    I don't think a funuc will let you cancel the cycle until you switch back to g94. Or maybe it's the other way around

    Under tool axis control there is a box to limit rotation axis movement. I was playing with an oring groove and checking this box got rid of weird motion along what should have been a straight cut along y axis . Before checking it was moving a axis in a weird dip in the middle of the cut.

    I have also corrected some funky tool motion by breaking an entity on the top and bottom of a set of chains and adding a vertical sync line. Also on a radial pocket I was able to get my tool to gradually enter against a wall by breaking the one large ark into may with sync lines leaning more and more towards the end tool position. This left less of a "snap" as the tool positioned against the vertical wall paralell to y axis.
  7. Leon82
    I usually use sync by branch or entity I think. Also what Colin said about number of entity in the chain

    There is a percentage of setup people who won't read whatever you put in the program also. I had a guy use an er20 instead of er11 holder once. The setup sheet said er11 and had a picture of one generated from camplete also.

    You can pin files in with the open icon in the master window also so you don't have to hit file. Also set the number of recent files
  10. Leon82
    I'm not sure if it's available in canned text but you could use a manual entry before the finish paths
  11. Leon82
    I feel that's a way to get extra chatter. I would drill it indersize when it's whole then peck the end mill slow to clean the radius out Or rough, peck, finish with a internal corner radius like .005 or so

    Make sure your top of thread is correct if it's not it might be leading off before it should be
  13. Leon82
    Overcut can be used to add "comp" you can't adjust it at the controller however
  14. Leon82
    Our resellert did it I don't remember where but it was in one of the I think format statements for dwell I think he may have changed the value
  15. Leon82
    What happens if you were to make each hole it's own op and multi axis link them? I've had a weird thing happen with camplete and 5axis drill and doing this solved it. In the end it's probably the same work to make an individual op or plane
  16. Leon82
    You can add geometry sets in there with their own check sets(groups) and put all the containments in tool path control. Works good. We went from x9 to 18 so it make multiple features easier to do with one op. I'm not sure when they made the change
  17. Leon82
    We put our library on the server so when customs are made they are available on each seat.
  18. Leon82
    Are there a lot of high speed paths in the program? Some machines will slow down from lookahead
  19. Leon82
    It's possible to change the view and not the wcs so the model movement is not what was expected
  20. Leon82
    Associative linking points are also available, I haven't used them much but the seem like a good idea for certain things
  21. Leon82
    For multiple holes or faces yes, set the depth, top of stock and feed plane incremental. Clearance height is your preference, but on incremental z axis will be moving with every xy rapid move to a different height plane. Nothing wrong with that, just personal preference .
  22. Leon82
    Ah, I see now
  23. Leon82
    Try setting your stock plane to top in the page for stock setup. You should never really have to move around on STL made in verified as far as I know
  24. Leon82
    I had my custom tab going before our retailer finished upgrading all our seats. You can, if you are up to it popilate the small bar where the save and open shortcuts are will all the icons like x9 I think.
  25. Leon82
    I could have sworn I've turned them into solids before. I think I saved it as it's own file and then did a save as and selected the file type of iges or step Maybe
