try turning off the optimize and or infinite look ahead on the contour parameters tab. hth

did you update to mu1? if you did maybe it swapped out your post, just a thought.

i was having the same problem that Rakesh had where adobe wouldn't open the "what's new" file.

updated my adobe like Jay said and no problems.

thanks Jay

is your machine capable if recognizing a block number over four digits?

If you have solids, make it into a solid then in your stock definitions page choose solid then select the solid you created.

David if you want a screen shot use X+

works great.

our IT person was informed by Dell not to install SP3 because there were some glitches. i would think microsoft would've put that notice out. doesn't help but i'll pass along.

Glenn,

the tranform chook freezes for me. Cnc Software is looking into it but has not officially assigned a bug number.

Have any of you noticed if you have multiple groups in a mcx file and once your done verifying one of the groups the screen flickers thru the remaining groups with the verify window still on screen but blank flickering on and off?

when i installed x3 i used migrate and will not use it again. like gcode said to many variables for the code guys to catch.

yes phil

thats what i normally but i thought i would give it a try. using the same file one in x2 and one in x3. the x2 worked. oh well.

i have xp sp2 and x3 mill level 3. i have a simple 2d geometry milling an external profile that i want to mirror on th y axis. i open transform, select mirror, the ops to be mirrored, select "create new ops and geometry" , method is coordinate, group nci by operation type, then flip to mirror page, select y axis, mirror view TOP, and then OK. what happens then is it copys geometry over several times mirrored and not, also creating a toolpaths that are internal and a mirrored external path. i tried the same part in x2 and it worked fine. i'm assuming this is a bug.

Alex,

send it my way when ever it's available.

welcome to the forum, you'll have to break the arc into many arcs or possibly lines hth.

bump:
