I think they all have their pros and cons and you just need to figure out which ones you prefer and which ones does the work you need it to do the best.

Unfortunately, most of these kinds of decisions are based on $$$ instead of the things you note.

Maybe you use a very good and expensive graphics card?....If you execute "Fit or Regenerate Display List" after zooming out...how will the surface look like? Can you test it? Thank you!

You're going to hate the answer but here it is....

After you scale it up and are certain you've made a good clean surface, you scale it back down and stop worrying about how it looks...the math behind the surface is correct. It will cut properly. That chord tolerance is simply how it is visualized.

Try bringing in a full model with a Chord height set that tightly

here are the 3 curves for anyone who wants to give it a go. I was unable to get anything with the coons option as well. The cures are tiny. (we do micro molding here!)

3 curve surface.mcam 304.4 kB · 6 downloads

.003"  yes, definitely a size issue....scale it up 50 times...make your surface, then scale it back down

to make a Coons, the selection order

How small is that?  It looks like it's possible it's extremely small...

and what tool did you use?

Coons

Alt + C

Pick 2 lines(2 sides) and a line and an intersection point(top line & opposite intersection point)

And still no testable file

Bad choice for that function

Let's recount...

You have, by your own admission, your first programming job...

You say it's 100% a bug

and you provide an .ecam file that the vast majority of people cannot open..

I suspect it's not a bug but a usage & definition, setting issue of course though, can't tell because you provided a file that industrial users can't open.

Maybe next time before declaring a bug or something, you provide a file that others can easily open and query...that would go a long way to getting you the help you are asking for,,,,

Sorry if this all comes off as a bit harsh but at least help us help you.

Could someone help me, to see how to get started?

Sure...

Pickup phone, call reseller...hello, I would like to buy a post with these options and I'll send some sample code...

That edit is no easy lift.

and they sure as hell shouldn't be calling it "turnkey"

Why not?  It sounds like they stole the money, got into the car turned the key and drove the getaway car..

Wait....you mean Mastercam ISN'T malware?????

Sounds like a graphics card or driver issue

Sorry, to clarify, are you suggesting moving the wireframe geometry that distance along the y-axis?

Yes

2D Swept

it won't resolve the resolution completely until it's done...you "might" or might not see a little improvement as it works.

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 

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

Pete Rimkus 100%

Computer spec's?

I'll take that as a no

So many in the UK now using other Cam software and i am begining to understand why

Because an ancient piece of hardware died??

When I moved our 1 lone seat that had a HASP to a Software license, I had to turn in the HASP...

Had X3 then was upgraded to X4 and then X5

Worked ok for yrs on a couple of computers and on this one about two yrs

Now the Hasp is not lighting up or the computer reconiseing it is even there

Any ideas ?

 

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
