  1. It looks like the cursor is left in the Z-depth box. If you click once in the graphics area with the middle button of the mouse you will be able to use the power keys.
  2. Sounds like you have a dual processor.
  3. You may also want to check out Cimco Filter.
  4. You won't have access to it until V9.1.
  5. On the "Files" tab of Mastercam's configuration change the "Setup sheet template" to HTML.set.
  6. The op_id variable is the operations id. It is based on the creation order not the operation order in the operations manager.
  7. Files with long filenames do not show properly in Mastercam with this combination: Mastercam style File Get dialog (set using the CNCReg util) *and* "Hide extensions for known files types" enabled in the Windows Explorer Folder Options. Correct this by disabling "Hide extensions for known files types" in the Windows Explorer Folder Options - or using CNCReg to select the Standard style File Get dialog box.
  8. Create the fillet using create - surface - fillet - select the type of fillet (probably surf/surf). Now you can select variable and change the radius at certain points on the fillet.
  9. Paul - Try downloading and executing this driver. Do a remove first and then a typical install. Restart your computer once you are finished. http://www.emastercam.com/patches/v8/hasp/hdd32.zip
  10. Here is a link to a set-up sheet that outputs every operation and handles the depths and comp correctly. ftp://ftp.inhousesolutions.com/pub/Master...rum/MILL_op.SET It is the default set-up sheet that comes with Mastercam with that change. [ 01-18-2002: Message edited by: Willy ]
  11. Actually, this is probably the easiest way to make that change. psub_st_s #Header in sub level result = nwadrs(no2asc(35), sub_prg_no) sav_n2 = n n = seqno " ", e *sub_prg_no, e pbld, n, sgabsinc, e The no2asc(35) converts an integer into the ascii equivalent.
  12. The m81-811rel.exe file must be placed in your Mcam8 folder before you run this executable. It will look for the mill8.exe file and replace it.
  13. If those are the only patches you have downloaded and installed you do not have V8.1.1. You can check this by opening Mastercam and pressing Alt+v. In the bottom left hand corner you should have this Mastercam version 8 (5.1.2001). If yours does not say this go to the the patches page and click on the link V8.1 to V8.1.1 Update Patches. Hope this helps.

    LEVEL

    Billy Before you bring in the Acad file save the named levels by right clicking in the level manager. Bring the Acad file in and then get the named levels.
  15. Stephen Mastercam uses the different levels in Autocad as named levels in Mastercam. So level 0 from Autocad would be level 1 in Mastercam but named "0". Your problem with missing data could be because the Acad drawing is not fully exploded.
  16. Try mpwprima.pst off the Mastercam cd.
  17. Have you tried mpcenm4.pst off the Mastercam cd.
  18. In Mastercam press alt+c. The Raster to Vector translater is a C-hook. It is called Rast2vec.dll. It will recognize *.bmp, *.tif, and many other graphic formats. [ 12-18-2001: Message edited by: Willy ]
  19. Have you tried File - Converters - DXF.
  20. You could create stl files out of both models and then create a toolpath that does not cut any of the parts. ie. draw a line of in space and contour it. You can use true solid verify and compare the two stl files.
  21. Jamman, You typed more than me and still beat me.
  22. Charlie, Create a new default 2D contour. Nc Utils - Def. ops - Defaults - save and it in there.
  23. Here is a link to Cimtech. http://www.multiaxis.com/mcam%20download.htm
  24. This is probably a video card problem. Try installing new drivers or turn your hardware acceleration down to none. The number of entities for dynamic rotation, in screen - config, defines the maximum number of entities displayed during dynamic rotation, not the maximum number of entities that can be rotated.
