I spent six months with X / solids then because of a job change went back to 9 / no solids. Let me tell you, I miss X

We have several OLD xxxxor controls that do not accept any Z movement in an arc move. I set the filter to make XY arcs only but I still get .0001 Z moves primarily in surface contour and surface shallow paths. Other than not allowing ANY arc move (which makes programs a lot longer and crappy looking) is there a work around for this? Mike

Drop me your e-mail and I can send you a file with all the letters and numbers as raised surface models. You can scale and translate them as needed. Mike

I remember being at IMTS some years ago when there was a short power outage. Happened past the Hurco booth after power was restored and they were taking apart the tool changer. Seems the machine was in the middle of a change when power failed. Something crashed, bending the tool change arm. Not a good sales gimmic. Mike

Tried that but when I try to open that STL file it has no data.

I should have mentioned it is Ver 9

Is there a way to save a verification result as an STL file and use it as stock for an adtional operation? Mike

I had that problem pop once or twice in V9. Usualy all I had to do was change the stepdown by a thou or two. Never did figure out why it did it. I learned to watch my Verify real close. Mike

Go into the electrical cabinet and rip the wire out. (JUST KIDDING) MIke

B&H Pattern in Appleton Wis has 10 6030 & 4020 Fadals of various ages and they use MC to program. try e-mailing [email protected] ans asking about their post.

You may have answered your own question. Analyze the surfaces and either repare or replace the bad ones. You will be amazed at the speed increase. Mike

Tools are usally made of aluminum for heat transfer. More elaborate ones have water cooling lines built in. Simpler ones use air cooling. On deep draw parts you may need a plug assist. You need to allow for the shrinkage of the plastic as it cools and you need to design the part/tool based on draw depth, plastic thickness, etc, etc. Drop me a file at [email protected] and I can give you some specific pointers.

Join the club. I get models all the time that have to be split into cope, drag, cores, etc. Can be a real drag. Sometimes I will make a copy for each required area and use erase windows to blow away what I don't need then I can use surface splitting, etc. Mike

Never delete any wireframe in solids, blank if you must. Mike

Surfcam, of course. :-)

Where abouts in southern KY?

I haven't run into this problem before. I offset some surfaces for a metal wall the thyed to solidify them. The sheet solids created were at the original un-offset positions. Anybody know why?

"Do you find the "compare to .stl" has a hard time with bull nose cutters and is not accurat?" No we use bull noses 75% of the time for complex pattern tooling. Verify works just fine for us.

Just "blank all wireframe"

Used to have that happen once in a while in 9, never did figure out why. Like you said, change the stepdown / stepover and it went away.
