When using the Module Works Simulator sometimes the Automatic Position setting will no longer place my work in the correct position. Then I have to change to Translated Position and set everything to zero to put it back in place. Does anyone know what causes this to occur. I have two saves of the same file where in one automatic positions it correctly and on the other it floats. The second one I was in process of making some viewsheets and when I went back to simulate the part was floating. I think creating the viewsheets was the only thing I changed so I don't understand why that would cause my part to be floating in space in the Simulator. Please let me know if you can shed some light on this -
Has anyone here every had a previous manager, supervisor, or boss...etc. Write them a letter of recommendation? I'm not really looking for a direct letter written for applying at one particular shop more of a general letter. I'm just curious if any of you have had any experience with using these kinds of letters, and whether or not they are helpful. Also curious what one might look like for a CNC Programmer/Machinist since most I find online are written for students or different careers.

Wow I really can't believe how many people tried to help me remember this. Unfortunately none of this sounds at all like what I recall I am going to Facebook message my old boss who explained the thing to me years ago I haven't talked to him in ages I will post back here with the response if I receive one. Thank you all very much for your efforts though

These jobs were all ITAR as well, but the stupid acronym I'm looking for may have not been used many other places I recall my boss telling me what the letters stood for and he just said if we end up late on this job the military would be allowed to stop all other work until we finished their order. For all I know it could have been some xxxx he made up but I don't think so since I recall him explaining it in enough detail to tell me what every letter meant but it's been at least 8 years since that happened. sorry to send you all on a wild goose chase.

I found this article on Modern Machine shop I really thought it was about to say the acronym I am looking for. The closest they got was ManTech, but like I said think it was a 3 or 4 letter deal. https://www.mmsonline.com/articles/how-to-become-a-defense-industry-machined-parts-supplier last I heard this term was back in 2016 and it was a shop in Tucson so the fact they were talking about becoming a defense machine shop and mentioned phoenix...it got my hopes up. This is just one of those things that bug the hell out of you when really there is little need or importance to remember. Just one of my friends I worked with over there recalls the same thing but neither of us can remember the term/acronym.

It was DOD type work, sorry DPAS doesn't ring a bell I can only think that it started with M, Appreciate you both trying though

I am trying to remember what acronym was used at a shop I worked at years ago when when we would do certain high priority government or military jobs they would have like a 3 or 4 letter acronym on the travelers I want to say it started with M perhaps? Sorry I know this one isn't very Mastercam related but it's the only place I figured I would get the correct answer. This would be the types of jobs that require DFARS material and what not and If necessary people always said they could demand you stop all other work in the shop and solely work on their jobs...

not sure if I should ask this here or make a new post but my last job had these levels named TempSafeZoneSurface that I didn't name or create and I am not sure why or how they were created?

Gcode I just noticed that my sphere offset file keeps updating because the time stamp on the file is changing but i am only regenerating dirty stock models....This leads me to think it may not be generated by vericut?

Associative origin and Associative orientation
[email protected] replied to [email protected]'s topic in Industrial Forum
I unchecked both associative boxes in the plane manager for both planes used on the toolpath and it stopped making my other operations dirty. I'm still a bit lost as to why simply selecting different planes inside a toolpath made last causes past operations to get dirty. but unchecking associative fixed the issue -
Associate the plane with its creation geometry. It says the same thing for both when I hover over these check boxes in the Plane Manager. What's the difference between these two? When do you need to have them checked and for what? I noticed when I was making a new toolpath and simply selecting a different plane on the planes page (the one that has your 3 selections of WCS, tool plane, and construction plane). simply changing my WCS selection caused a ton of my op1 one stuff to get dirty and some things in my op2 as well. which is odd because I'm not even changing anything about the plane just trying to select a the correct one for my WCS on the new operation. do these check boxes have something to do with this occuring?

Thanks I will try the solutions you have presented me with. I had just realized I needed an updated .stl for the back side optirest path as well which might get rid of the issue I am having. I do agree ajmer .01 tolerance is probably too big as well.

allow 360 degree arcs is checked and arc break options set to dont break arcs

I don't think have access to my control definition where I work now. I will try to see and I will let you guys know if the HAAS graphics hangs up on this as well....Do you think there is any chance simply regenerating could end up with a different result? i am guessing it would do the exact same thing unless i change something but i don't know what i should change
