2019 arc selection doesn't high light when selected ( only centetpoint) center point of..... top hole champher ? Actual arc I need ? Or some random corner radius close to the action ?! So now we have to mask / hide the EXACT ARC we are picking ( Thread milling VERY Important) the geo to make sure we nailed it ? ( as I usually say to Q.C.) Sweetly " unless I'm doing something wrong" ? Which I am 51% of the time lol -
I still use it to cut weld ( molds / revisions where detail has to be shifted etc) With it's no b.s. entry & exit and my polygon boundry.. You know it's only going where you told it to -Period

Change at Point broken?
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to crazy^millman's topic in Industrial Forum
It's broke , I gave up . Simple 2D rectangle...only accepted the moves around the corner Never the straight away... (I had to go back to MC 2017 to try it there, worked like a charm). Did I send it in ? No....something so simple...and so pathetic...No.... HAPPY NEW YEAR EMASTERCAM !!!! -
You got it ... I have Alt . Set as save on my keyboard and after every key move that " Worked" and you would never want to lose I slam it. autosave ain't even close to every move yoo make with Mold Work etc. when you get all Rick James freaky on multiple planes on and on I " Ladder" between a back up and the original save even save hoof save as hoof bk save as hoof too much to lose

If Pencil ain't happening multiple pencil paths not all of them at once or.. Use blend with a high and low boundry on that corner going all the way around on the floor ... same boundary's, surface rough pocket Finish box checked only or and min max Z depths filled in or ... scallop in those same boundaries like you said your duking it out MC vs the model. Use big step downs, Step overs at first so you can see quickly if MC is going to do what you want in a short time frame I HAVE SPOKEN !

It works great on electrodes that are a cone shape with ribs crossing through it like you see in all kinds of plastic parts. In this instance the one toolpath that does it all , Hybrid works with minimal tweaking

Nothing shows up under windows Start menu ( used to fly out to the right ) They know about it

Dynamic Mill tool paths not leaving stock.
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to Tinger's topic in Industrial Forum
It works , and it works great. Think about it as " It works backwards , it starts at the bottom and works its way up" or in 2D. way more questions to answer though compared to the Go To for a decade plus " Surface Rough Pocket" -
I'll try it !!

While we're at it You can't pick geo in a command and Slam the enter key on your keyboard in a LOT of stuff in 2018 , you Must mouse up and over to the blue or green buttons and check it.
-
It's a couple more mouse clicks to get your stuff to project to the Z level in your Z const. level box. you have to go into the project dialogue and then pick an entity Not z level set in Const. CLICK ENTITY. Project click chain , DONE Boo Hoo lol

Not show stock models after regeneration.

Drill Linking Parameters Not Working ??
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to CADCAM3D5AXIS's topic in Industrial Forum
2018 ? I noticed that today ... I had to move my geo to the z depth below abs value where It really starts from. Never had to every version prior lol -
In the end , bottom line You have to be an artist , there isn't s magic wand in MC , Delcam art or Bob art. I pulled off fish and birds but " Hair " of any sort etc. omg Ain't happening The guy at the imts that knock's it out of the park says oh yeah I'm an artist . Classic : owner buy' s art and tells You The guy said all ya gotta do is....lol It can be done but....
-
My stab at it: If you create a plane ( even a duplicate ) It is now a custom plane and no matter what when you change your view i.e. FRONT etc. the T anc C will no longer snap to FRONT like toldvit to do in the setting dialogue .

Anyone Up For Translating .CATPart?
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to McLaren's topic in Industrial Forum
Isn't it funny 20 years later ( Autocad / Mech desktop ,ampartout command) were all still shuffling are parts & assembly's through various save as To hopefully get a clean part , lol #1 SW #2 X_T The rest which is what I get : Pro e .step Ug .step 90 % of it comes in clean on a good day -
Hide the chain etc. Alt E NOW Mc is forced to see it. Your PC will work, Just not very well as your experiencing. i7 here and an older quadro 2000 I have to tilt things around once in a while so I can finally chain it . I agree with everyone here but in my case " beggars can't be choosers " lol

Custom Tools Not Displaying Correctly In Transform
Fred @ Slate Industries replied to GoetzInd's topic in Industrial Forum
Transform has issues , The one that has bitten us in MC 2018 is Stock to leave as it resets itself to zero (from whatever you had it set too) Its fixed in update 1 -
