incorporate metric taps into your English library

I work in inch, load tools from the metric library and they work fine. I save them into my custom library and all is well. don't see why u have trouble.

The issue is I have to expand all of the toolpaths (processes) one by one to find that tool

the letter E expands and collapses selected tool pathes all at once. 

click on the manager and press E a few times to see the loop of display states.

and if u right click and choose display options in the tool path manager u can turn off unneeded info to clean up the default messiness.

If all your ops are set to TOP wcs, right click in the ops manager, display options, shut everything off except the WCS;

Anything other than TOP will jump out at you. 

this is great, since I turned off my tool path file name and a few other things, it is all so tidy and easy to see thanks  for that!

You know that sooner or later,  an operator will load the wrong hand tool and blow the cutter body up don't you???

For now I am the only one. ,, the tool stays in #2 and my library keeps the rotational info with the tool so 4 now it's pretty seamless.

So long as I remember when I stop the spindle to start it again ccw. besides the body was ordered by accident and had been sitting 4 ever.

is there a spot  to set a tolerance for surfs made, normally they look fasseted to other geometry.

or is it chord hight inside shading dialog that u after? that will change the look tighter.

Just

don't want to run out of clicks!!

so if u select your items before the action , it eliminates clicks!!! hooray I may survive after all.

for instance select two sections of a line to join, then hotkey for join and boom it's done and accepted all at once.

I want to zigzag along a straight line 2 d

Use contour with multi pass and keep tool down.  like that?

wow.. looks like it spontaneously fixed itself. after I continued on. thx. any way

it's from solid works but this is the second operation . I just made a plane and started on side two when weird came along.

Veiw sheets????

somehow this thing (2018) just created two planes and a view sheet, all at once when i finished creating a simple contour path!!!

idk why. now it has an association between sheet and plane that won't go away. and i can't delete either one. WTF???

I have never used these sheets. don't even know what they're for.  Strange stuff has been going on lately like this.... any ideas?

Do you get paid by the hour?????

sure but I may have a limited number of clicks left in me , don't want to run out of clicks!!!

Just so ya know, when u adjust the drill depth point by point, of a source op. for a transformed tool path... 

the transform won't listen. It still does the old depths. I regen it over and still no worky.

had to make a new separate path. Just love to waste time like that.

Heidenhein

there is the trouble... lol

Those machines are weird!

transform rotate is in the geometry arina too.

u can do either.

transform the toolpath... right click and find transform in  the mil tool path menu.

choose rotate...

I've noticed this can be done but for some reason u need to click around a few times to get it done...

It is misleading when u try a normal shift click... and nothing happens. buggy manager.

Sorry this is not a question just a pet peeve.

The shortcut Ctrl+E

Just use "E" u don't need another key.

LOL  , The left hand cutting face mill that I am using to double insert life,, has to be set to conventional in order to get it to climb mill!

that is just silly.  

the 45 deg. inserts work in both rotational face mills allowing the other side of the insert to see material in the left hand tool!

gonna save some $$ for the man.

Steve, under misc values you can set

Hey Glen, I see u at the front with Brian,,

wonder if u can stop in on me when u get a minute?

Wondering how to tell why a plane is in use... I want to delete it.

and... I have seen my 4th axis go in rapid when jogging but it won't do it after reset. 

I want to recreate that state for setups. must be a g-code?

thanks.

where is coordinate input for geometry?

Like with a rectangle, why can't i just start typing in numbers any more to define a point wtf?
