  1. just a heads up, Stock model does not compensate correctly for a 2d contour using "control" for your tool diameter offset. if you use computer or wear, it'll work fine.
  2. after reading the topic, i thought this was JB.
  3. looks like google chrome does not have this option yet. switch to firefox
  4. If memory serves me right, there is no X+ for X4 lathe just mills
  5. I noticed this and sent it in to qc and MC is looking for the "art" tool bars and you don't have art you receive this error. this is their response:
  6. Not sure in google chrome but in firefox, it's under print, then page setup. maybe chrome has a similar tab, settings?
  7. do you have print background activated in your browser?
  8. great topic with a lot of useful tips
  9. have it checked already, will report with qc
  10. i have a facing op, then a 2d dynamic core, i then finish the outer profile with a 2d contour using control compensation. code is fine, backplot is fine. what i tried doing at that point is a stock model and select those three ops to compute the stock model and it looks good until i select the 2d contour. it won't compensate for half the end mill. using wear or computer comp.bmp using control comp.bmp
  11. just a standard contour, with a 3/4 end mill. it doesn't compensate for half the tool but when i switch to wear or computer it works fine.
  12. so stock model will not compensate the tool properly if you use control (don't want to get in the control vs wear debate), anyone else see this.?
  13. What software are you using to send/receive?
  14. also in the system config, you can change the color of the "highlight" to something better suited for your eyes.
  15. i believe that was Jessie James and west coast choppers.
  16. ^^^ no foolish requirements (as9100, nadcap....etc...) so the smaller shops with the skill level were making these. a lot of capable shops but don't want to deal with the red tape, and bureaucracy. jmho
  17. oh boy this is going to get interesting.
  18. Neurosis, what if you set your control def>tool> to from tool, it'll then ask you to reload your mach def, then go to toolpaths> tool manager> select tool you want to change, change your h and d value, it will then ask you to apply to all ops using this tool, say yes and repost. i just tried it and it worked for me. hth
  19. just thinking there maybe a corrupt file. i had some weird stuff happening in X5, i dumped it and downloaded it again, installed it and then it was fine, cleared up the issues i was having. did you download this from MC website? i always wait a couple days now to download less internet "traffic". i know it's a pain to do that but worth a shot you know when you're less busy hth
  20. in your control def under "toolL >mill do you have the length and the diameter set to zero? if so then i would uninstall X6 and do a fresh install.
  21. it would be interesting if you would post using the generic (not modified) X6 MPmaster and a generic mastercam X6 post and and see if that changes anything. Maybe an InHouse post issue. just trying to help narrow things down.
  22. have you just been updating your post since X2? maybe you've had a crappy post from the get go, just a thought.
