  1. I have never found one recently that worked well, when they first came out years ago there was a couple expensive ones that worked but they are not available anymore. Here is a PCMCIA device that works well. Hooked up one last week. http://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php I have seen other PCMCIA devices that did not work.
  2. Provide the mcx file that you are working on, so we can see what is going on.
  3. quote: I have gotten this error also, a while ago.."Unhandled Exception occurred - Mastercam execution halted." (wouldn't open) I don't remember if it was after or before an update. After trying most all the above I have come across this a few times, check to see if C:mcamxconfigMDM1120.prm has 0k size. Delete it and the problem is gone. Un-install does not remove this file.
  4. quote: Dealers are a critical part of our business plan Since your software requires an internet connection to function it is impossible to demo on-site and for the majority of propective customers to use.
  5. quote: ahhh glenn, soryr but this time i can't agree. i'm faster and more accurate with the keyboard than the mouse In V9 every command requires at least 3 keystrokes to activate the command plus another 3 whacks of the ESC key to get you back to Main Menu so that you can start your command. In X one mouse click for the command and another mouse click will take me directly to the next commmand without wearing out the escape key. P.S. None of these books are over $120 http://www.emastercam.com/resources/
  6. I am at a customer with 4 computer and it does it on every computer. The identical settings on my laptop does not have this problem. One has a ATI card the others have Nvidia The only fix is adjust the toolbar position as mentioned above.
  7. quote: lol.. glenn.. i do not plan to end up paying an amount of money that my budget can't really afford knowing that boss won't pay it It is only a couple hundred bucks, call it an investment in your future. quote: meaning if i type C A C it You will find just clicking on the icon is a lot quicker than playing the piano on your keyboard.
  8. quote: although am pissed at my boss regarding the training thing and him not sending us Maybe you have to take matters into your own hands, get ahold of the X2 demo cd, signup for www.streamingteacher.com or buy some of the tutorials on this site and send your boss the bill for it.
  9. quote: not sure your business odel is going to fly though.. a monthly charge that goes on forever is not an attractive proposition. I think most people would rather buy outright and pay a reasonable annual maintenance fee. I agree, and I think your product would be much more successful if you make it available to dealers to demo and promote to end users. esherbro, do you expect dealers to have to pay the monthly fee to demo, test and help sell your product?
  10. The X+ setup sheet is great. Because it is free it is hard to complain about the lack of support for the Transform toolpath and for Lathe.
  11. A editor with a backplotter will not make a differance. It cannot check to see what offset was entered in at the control.
  12. camgeneration, I noticed from your website that you have a newer Mazak, doesn't it run on XP?
  13. It looks like there is a problem with Peel Mill and HST toolpaths if you migrated your settings (Mill_Inch.DEFAULTS)from a previous install. You may notice with Colin's method that the view changes during backplot of a Peel Mill toolpath and you may get an A0 posted out with some posts. Using the Mill_Inch.DEFAULTS that came with the install does not cause this problem.
  14. This is a known problem with tools of the same dia, edit the operation and change one of the tools to .5001 and it should work when you import. Send this problem to [email protected] to help up the priority. Logged as defect # CNC00030715
  15. quote: If someone give me some idea to rough this Surface, Finish Contour should work, see: roughing
  16. Your original config files are from a system that had extra chooks installed. Either re-load the extra chooks or go to Settings, Customize and right-click on the "addon toolbars" and delete those.
  17. Do you have a mill machine def loaded? I tried it and it worked.
  18. quote: Brett.. you should put up a list of the current inventory of mpmaster 5X posts. Check out http://www.inhouseposts.com
  19. Install this http://ai-sols.sytes.net/download/AI_Utili...MR1_1_09_en.exe Then go to your windows explorer and go Views, thumbnails.
  20. quote: Is there any chance that Verisurf_X2mr1.exe will work in X2sp1? It will work Rick.
  21. quote: That exists already, Glenn. Run--->mstsc------>voila! How is "Remote Desktop" going help release a license on a locked computer that somebody did not exit Mastercam before they went home for the day?
  22. quote: Why not have a dockable and undockable licensing control panel in Mastercam that shows you what licenses are available and lets you toggle them on and off? That is a good idea, it would be great to able to kick somebody off that is not using Mastercam but did not exit before they went home.
  23. How do can I print a drawing I ceated in Mastercam in 1:1 scale? Mastercam version 9 I know where to print but I don't see any options for scaling or setting the scale I want to use. Thank you, Alex
  24. 9.5 minutes System Manufacturer: Dell Inc. System Model: Precision M65 Laptop Processor: Intel® Core2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 2046MB RAM Card name: NVIDIA Quadro FX 350M Manufacturer: NVIDIA I used to have a M70, but th M65 is much faster as it is dual core.
  25. http://www.emastercam.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...ic&f=1&t=026135 Renaming posts,CD and MD files is still a real PITA. Zerron, can you write a utility to make this easier?
