separate

I just received notice from Cimco that version 7.50.05 has solved the problem. i have not installed haven't had time.

so once the official X9 is released, will we have to uninstall the beta version and start over? i believe X8 was this way.

glad it's working good, here's another thought. drill a .25 hole about .75 deep then switch to a gundrill with thru spindle coolant, the initial .25 hole acts as a drill bushing, feed the gundrill in approx .5-.625 then turn spindle and coolant on.

is this the same as Dell Client System Update (33.7MB ver 1.3.0)??

He can't post on there since he is not on "maintenance"...

not sure if you have to have maintenance to post on the MC forum, just create an account. they have a section labled "non-maintenace customer forums"

Awesome Murlin that it worked for you, kudos to Brian

just saw this, +1 to custom geometry.

did you try the MC forum?

just updated to version 7.01.22 and no problem. try contacting cimco, Tom Hyllen email [email protected]

all Greek to me

i have the latest and no problem. try downloading it again and then do a clean install.

+1000 on Hemly, on just about all tooling needs.

i haven't had it happen but remember a few years back people having this issue. glad they fixed it.

JP whatever happened with this customer? was it the fanuc parameter? thanks Tim!! i will change those parameters in our 18i and 31i controls since this has happened

to me in the past. it always turns out that x,y,i, or j is off by .0001 but plots fine in cimco and runs fine on a fadal (go figure, those fadals)

if you have X8 as a quick launch icon in your task bar, you may have inadvertently double clicked it which in previous versions resets MC back to the default config file. 

 

We had to tear apart the header to get the Haas out. The tool changer is really high on that machine.

should have tore apart the Haas. nice upgrade!!

i had my sketcher and my mru  toolbars to the right of the op manager wish this x8 still allowed that

black here and applook 6

will this work wit under cutting tools ie lollipop mill?

what if you're using a lollipop type cutter, doing an undercut like surface? i use flowline but recently had a job that kept gouging the part, i switched to surface finish contour with containment and it worked better but still milled in areas where it should not have when doing a compare to the solid.

i had some weird stuff happening with my x8 tool manager trying to edit a tool inside mastercam. here is what i did:

close mastercam

go into c:\users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\temp

and delete all files at least what will allow you to

restart mastercam

this solved my problem hth

I had this problem as well and i migrated my config file from X7. Dump (delete) your config file and start over with a newly generated one to modify (when you delete your current one, mastercam will generate a new one).  Your machines will show up now, and change what you need. hth

thanks guys, migration it is. Cjep 

 

I still move the custom files I want to update to a separate folder with subfolders that mimic Mcam's shared directory so that when I run the update all the updated files get located in the appropriate location.

 great idea! thank you all!!

thanks Cjep, how reliable is the X8 migration wizard? i've had problems in the past with migration so i've just made my changes to the default mpmaster post.

Any word when the Mpmaster post for X8 will be out?

Maybe make a pair of these .

Chm files will download blocked. Right click on file and I believe under "permission" you can unblock it.
