yep, that's what I'm adding in, thanks again.
If Daniel is reading this, can In House add some code to the MpMaster to have this tool inspection / change work?
i posted this in another thread but have a feeling it may get lost so,
i am using the Dynamic OptiRough toolpath and want to inspect / change inserts on a high feed mill. i activate the options but
i do not see an M01 or M00 posted at the set time intervals.
Is this a post mod that's neededd to achieve the above statement? TIA
I haven't noticed that and I've used it quit a bit. Are you using the dynamic peel or the old peel? do you have a file to share?
edit: i saw Josh's reply and i never use the micro lift, good point.
looks like maybe one of your tools has special geometry and it's looking for it in the public\public documents\shared MC2017\mill\tools\ProFab\Associated_DXF
when you migrated you tool database that particular tool may still be looking for its geometry definition. double check all your tools in that file.
looks to be trying to open a dxf file from MC2017. do you have stock file linked in this file. your Operations / Default file may not have migrated correctly.
or a tool that is using a dxf file to describe itself, still linked to that location.
Ron, i did try the HST toolpath and used spiral, waterline, scallop and contour. the toolpath was just too choppy and would've left a bad surface finish. thank you
though, i always heed your words!!
Dave, i could not download your file (it says it doesn't exist), but i did a combination of what you and John recommended and toolpath looks great!! thank you.
mastercam 2017, just trying to finish a tapered boss on an od and figured morph between 2 curves would give me a smooth toolpath.
my two curves are in dark blue and the surfaces are tan. i am using 3 axes with all geometry in the top view. my toopaths do not stay between
the curve and am getting frustrated. any help would be appreciated. tia
