  1. it won't resolve the resolution completely until it's done...you "might" or might not see a little improvement as it works.
  2. Move your geometry 1/4 the distance of the circumference distance.... Assuming 3.000" 3 * pi = 9.4248 9.4248/4 = 2.356 Axis sub calculates based on -90 being 0
  3. Since the release of X, I live on the RMB....I go to the ribbon bar for VERY little, as such I haven't done anything with it. Of course at this point I do very little programming with my hands in so many things and management
  4. I'll take that as a no
  5. When I moved our 1 lone seat that had a HASP to a Software license, I had to turn in the HASP...
  6. With the age of the Hasp, it's possible it's dead... I'd check the drivers out first and there is or was anyway, a little app that could tell you for certain if it is dead.. Assuming it is dead for a moment, you possibly could have an issue getting another Hasp. I'm pretty sure they've gone software licenses only...I could be wrong on that but thought during a conversation with my reseller was told Hasps were a thing of the past. Considering the version, it is LONG outdated and no longer supported. I have a Hasp that will run 2019 but at this point it's no longer upgradeable. You might be in a spot
  7. Macdac was purchased by Tri-Mech about 2 years ago, as well Compumachine at the same time... My suspicion is several other resellers will be purchased, though not all and Sandvik will take sales and support in house....I have zero info to base that on just how I think they'll move ahead over the coming years
  8. Steve just left my building....scheduled in for some extended time to get our DNC and NCBase up and running... I was part of the S4A > Cimquest transition.....That was just technical on the business side.....no real early changes to the customer experience except several other AE's and services coming available... From all I have heard, early on, no big changes other then how the business end is handled....currently Cimquest is running as it has....
  9. The specs alone take it away from a gaming rig... If you're doing workstation work, buy a workstation.....if you're gaming, buy a gaming rig... That's just how I approach it...
  10. Recommended spec's here https://www.mastercam.com/support/technical-support/system-requirements/
  11. I didn't think the "Home Edition" was supported for Mastercam... and my feeling on GEForce cards is well known...they work for others, I won't buy a system without a Quadro/RTX card
  12. Our installation of the Cimco DNC and NCBase begins on Wednesday....I have much laid out already but one question I have... I did ask if NCBase would also take our Mastercam files....I was told it would but it's ability to manage them like say PDMWorks could with revision control wasn't possible. The programs & documentation will be stored within NCBase... So my question, is anyone using NCBase to store their current Mastercam files? Thoughts on how it does?
  13. Hi Pete...indeed, longtime...hope all is well on your end
  14. A piece of geometry, your machine/.control def and post would be helpful This is a Contour Ramp going 1" deep at .125 per N110 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 ( HELIX ) N120 T287 M6 N130 G0 G90 G54 X-.927 Y.9063 A0.

  15. Create your toolpath, then use the chook Arc3d
  16. You have "Point" & "Pass"....Point will take you along an entire Z level of the cut......when you get the top, change Pass so that you can get the points along the next Pass and so on if you have multiple depths of cut
  17. This guy is a shill...of that I have zero doubt now
  18. You do understand that anything that gets "changed" and needs to be updated in the nci file NEEDS to be re-genned, right? If you made those changes and it didn't go dirty, when you posted it the changed info would not be in the nci file.
  19. Make sure you have the rights to edit the files in that directory... Also, if Microsoft One Drive is backing up that directory, turn it off. It will rewrite your file after you change it.
  20. This^^^^^ I have seen ZERO reasons to think anything but....user chose not to establish himself as a legal user and came in and has subsequently posted on how "Mastercam needs to change their algorithm" It smacks of another titles troll account. Of course, I don't expect the "hosts" to do anything...sorry
  21. and that was my understanding, linked, yes...does not actually run the gcode...
