Thanks for your help. I will check with my reseller.

I double checked. I was selecting the "X3 chook directory". I am using Wire. That shouldn't make a difference should it?

I am using X3. When trying to open Rast2vec.dll I get a message saying "You are not allowed to run this product.Please contact your dealer for a valid license" I thought it was included in X3. Has anyone else had this issue? Thank You

1st of all, why are you cutting a cavity with 7 cuts? This seems like a lot of cuts. Second, you are making 7 cuts all with the same offset and changing your geometry? Wouldn't be easier to just change the offset value? Changing the geometry seems bit cumbersome. Also, if you go to the lead in/out tab of the parameters folder you can avoid an unnecessarily long lead out. Can you email me your MCX file? I'll try and post it.

I'm not sure if this is what you are lookin for, but I've hard excellent results with their products. http://www.hermannschmidt.com/

This is a code for a 2" square with .250 corner radii and no taper.There is a glue stop -.025 from the lead in on the rough cut only. There are 4 cuts total. I'm not sure how your LN control works, but the the LQ inserts a "header" above the G-code for settings such as power settings and offset values. That is why there are no offset values in the code. I hope this helps. N5 G90 N10 TP1.000 N15 TN0.000 N20 G54 N25 G00 X0. Y0. N30 T91 N35 T84 N40 C001 H001 N45 G01 G42 Y1. N50 X.75 N55 G02 X1. Y.75 I0. J-.25 N60 G01 Y-.75 N65 G02 X.75 Y-1. I-.25 J0.

Our local reseller tried to charge us for "modifying" our post. They added a date comment and changed nothing else, then told us the post had been modified. As can be predicted, the post didn't fuction any differently. So, from that point on we modify all our own posts in house.

Are you sure your controller is a LN and not an LQ? The LN is an older controller found on a lot of 1st generation linear machines. Anyway, I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Martin. I found that the MPWSD350 required far less post modifications for an LQ1 controller than the Mark 30 post. [ 03-19-2007, 01:37 PM: Message edited by: BERTRAM BOY ]

What model Sodick are you running? Also, what control?

Thanks. I been doing alot of reading and picking up alot of useful information. However, I forgot to mention one thing in the original post. I am using Wire. It seems like the IGES file was drawn as a wireframe and then transformed into a NURBS surface. I need to get it back into a lines and arcs format. Any further tips of what I may be able to do will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have an IGES file that seems to be a 3-D wireframe but analyzes as a NURBS entity. I need to convert to lines and arcs. I have done a search in the forum for this problem but nothing seems to work. Any additional suggestions beyond the Edit, Simplify or the Edit, Break into Pieces. I have X2. Thanks.
