Dave, That did it! Thanks for remembering that. Thanks to Paul too! Also, thanks to John for reminding me of the update log. I found something on another post that needed fixing. You guys are great!

+1 to James I use ramp contour all the time. Quick and easy! Jeromey

I updated my post to use Mcam X and I am having a problem with drilling cycles. My first tool is a spot drill, when posting out the program it is putting my X and Y positions BEFORE it calls up the tool. This happens on all of my drilling cycles. It seem to be a post issue but I'm not certain. I have done some small post modifications in the past but I need some help on this one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Below shows what I am getting.

No bugs, it was OE!

John, That is what I've been doing. It seems like a bug to me but I wanted to see if anyone else has had the same problem. Thanks. Jeromey

Thad, That's the funny thing about it. Under the list levels area I have "Used", "Named", "Used or Named". But no "All" or "Show All". When I open version 9 it gives me the "All" option.

When I pull up the levels manager it shows only level 1. There are no other levels, and I am not able to add or modify anything. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Jeromey

Thad, Thanks! That did the trick. I guess I was being stubborn and should have thought of that.

Anyone?

If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate it. I sent an e-mail to [email protected] but haven't heard back from anyone in a week. Please help, it's hard to use without SP1. Dazz, it's nice to see someone else have this problem but sucks for you.

gcode, Thanks for the suggestion, I reinstalled from the disk again but I am still getting the same message. I am running version 10.0.12.2. Thanks, Jeromey

When I select Update Mastercam under the Help menu I get the following message: "The update manager could not locate the correct version of MasterCam X on your machine. You may need to run a repair operation from the conrol panel's add/remove programs dialog. Please report this issue to [email protected] with a detailed description." I ran the repair operation and then tried to update again but got the same message. I did send an e-mail to [email protected] but was wondering if any in the forum had this problem and if they got it fixed. Thanks, Jeromey

:bump:

You can also do that in Rhino.

I can see a small package on my bosses desk out of the corner! Unfortunately he's on vacation for another week.

There is a Solidworks file of a paint ball gun on a website called 3D ContentCentral. It is in the user library in the section called "toys".

Try saving it somewhere first.

Sometimes I get an iges file that is only surfaces. If it is the only thing they can send then I create my own. Create/Curve/All edges, and select all surfaces. You will then want to delete duplicate entities.

Thanks guys!

I couldn't find "rot_ccw_pos" in my post. It's not that its rotating the wrong way, but is rotating to the wrong position. Example: I want it to rotate to A90. but it posts it out as A270. The MasterCam file backplots correctly so that is why I think it has something to do with the post. The post is mpfadal V7.0 Thanks

When I program my part in mastercam everything looks alright. However, when I post the program out, the "A" value is rotating the wrong way. I think it's something in my post that needs to be changed. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jeromey

NuNu, Me thinks your right!

Just wondering, why would you take the extra step and create a .dxf, .dwg, or parasolid when you can just convert the native SolidWorks file?

File-Converters-Parasld-Read File then go to file type and choose solidworks find your file and open I usually use the defaults

oops! I meant 3, sorry.
