  1. There isn't yet, but maybe in a future release. I hope.
  2. Hijack on, Rick, do you use any of their coolant, if so how do you like them, and which ones do you use. Hihjack off.
  3. Yeah, lead him to Exxon, so they can have another record year. Any oil distibutor will be able to lead you in the right direction, as Rick said. We use a oil from General, I don't remember the number of it off hand, but it works very well, it floats to the top of the coolant and does not mix with it at all. I think the number is a "68" something. The number "32" more sounds like a hydraulic oil.
  4. Todd, You got mail. The parameter settings are in the NC Optional Parameter Bit.
  5. Matt, I get the same error as Thad. Can you put in on the ftp site here?
  6. I've got to start reading all the threads, this was way to nuts!! Thad, I like your response quote: you'll be sharing your crack with Bubba. way to funny!!
  7. Thanks Roger, Works great!
  8. Ok, another issue I have with printing solids and surfaces is, there is no choice to print shaded or not shadded. In V.9 you would uncheck shaded and it would still print the wireframe of the surfaces. That way you don't have your ink cartridge going empty all the time and you could still where the surfaces are. Is there a setting in X to do this?
  9. You will have to play with the settings for the screen resolutions in order for everything to look correct, I have mine set to 1920 x 1200. Works very well w/MCX.
  10. perdido, Welcome to the forum. Go to Mastercam's website for the reseller in your area and he can hook you up with DesignLT and that will do what you are looking for.
  11. Jim, After you first click on Dynamic Rotate, click on an object that you want to be the center of ratation, like an endpoint of a line or center of circle, after that then use your mouse for rotation. HTH
  12. John, Using the ROLLDIE, you use the tip of the tool when cutting, I think what Ken is after is something that will use the side of an endmill to cut the spiral,where the tool will be along side rather than on the center line. This way you can have some surface footage rather than cutting with the tip of the tool where ther is no SFPM.
  13. I agree, I have had very good support from Cimco. Jeff, who is your rep.?
  14. All this sounds way to familar. No matter what we program, someone is not going to like it, mostly because of personal preference. There is one guy here that no matter what you do he has to change something. Maybe that is why we call him "Tinkerbell" cause he always has to tinker with the program.
  15. Rick, Even though he can store larger programs in BB0: or MD1:, he still cannot run programs bigger than he can now, unless he gets more memory. You are right, it is expensive.
  16. Andrew, How do you like CAMTool? Our machine reseller was in here talking about that software.
  17. Gramby, Go to Solids tab, Solids from surfaces.
  18. mario, Really the only difference between the two is the video card. The XPS has a Geforce card whigh is more for gamming and the M90 has a Quadro FX which is for cad work, other than that they are almost identical. As Todd said some 20 posts ago anything in th "M" series will work. HTH
  19. You are new around here aren't you. You a might as well get used to it.
  20. There is no number pad. It's something you just have to get used to. M90 here and it works great.
  21. So what isn't the programmers fault?
