But what IS your graphics card
-
Yes.. Generally I use wireframe for this...depending on what I need to do, I may need to offset a chain to get a path to cut just as I want Blend geometry will usually be open...not a closed bounday....though working between 2 diameters or a boundary and point alter that rule
-
Create geometry along both edges of the ramp...use those as your 2 chains Make sure you chain them both going the same direction or the result won't be what you want.
-
No... Someone else will have to help with a sample for you

JP2-3D_FACE_EXAMPLE..mcam Here's another option with a projected single surface path
-
JP-3D_FACE_EXAMPLE..mcam I only have 2024 but a 1 surface blend will get it...there are likely 5 or 6 other ways I could get it done as well.. I wouldn't opt for a flat mill but a ball instead
-
There's a reason diamond turing machines cut in the millionths'... Not knowing your application, I certainly won't say it can't be done but I do know in our application, regardless of how good the finish was, it wasn't close enough.
-
If that is a single solid, the Disassemble function will not work....it is designed for assemblies which are made up of multiple parts. You will have to break it apart manually.
-
Optics, ugh.... It is such a specialized process. I've milled surfaces, it wasn't for the lack of trying but they could never approach our diamond turning machines. Think Red Dot type optics.... If they have their own proprietary abilities, make them prove it. If they can, as far as I'm concerned it would be a no brainer to use their stuff.

Different experience, different preferances but...

2 things come immediately to mind Are you sure the settings your saving are pointing to the correct directory for 2024? Are you using Microsoft One Drive? I just had to turn it off for one user because he was using it and it was resetting his config file every time he changed it.
-
It's a single turret, spindle spindle it looks like.... If no one is up to tweaking a generic post in, then yeah, one of the 3rd party offerings....In-House Solutions, Postability or looking at your location, if Cimquest is your reseller, they can do it as well

Have you asked your reseller or reached to CNC Software?
-
I see what you are pointing out...still useless for my use...doesn't understand G10 lines, doesn't understand how Mazak subprograms are called, doesn't understand the offset variables(#70001+), trouble with macros still becasue of the #999 limitation.... NCPlot has just worked for all that stuff.... Though both are going to get a lot less use with Vericut coming online after the start of the New Year... I do thank you for pointing out that it does have "some" ability finally.

But "Are you Experienced" Sorry, a little Hendrix humor
-
Check with Internal Tools.... It may well be a custom, don't see an angle...or RDOC distance
-
I don't know what to say...my programs for my HMC's ALL have macro statements, some have macros, all have multiple offsets, all have subprograms after the M30... Maybe it's because it is a Mazak and they(Cimco) won't even backplot it properly....but none of what you said work for me and haven't worked for me since 2016 when we bought the full blown editor seat....that is the single reason we bought NCPlot because it just works for that.
-
No one can give you answer....that's kind of the point...his situation is different than yours
-
Call them...it'll be an individual quote based on your overall need...looks like OP was talking over 40 machines
-
In what version? I am running 23.01.02 and it's Fanuc Macro stoopid
-
You could use a "force tool change" but that will send it home between cuts. Would be easier for you and them to use "N" numbers...

Exception raised in calculation routine warning
JParis replied to EDTOBON's topic in Industrial Forum
Off of what you have provided? No. Need a clear description and almost certainly a file that is creating the issue. -
You can open a window that will show it working through a macro and the values it is calculating...you can go one step at a time to watch the values update....it does not show tool movement for macros
-
Really, it depends.... You're likely also getting wireless devices that connect the machines, the software, a hardware hub(# of machines dependent) programming the devices, running all needed .. If program control is not an issue, then nothing really matters....I know that once a program is proven and all worked out, getting that saved and backed up is vital
-
It has not been updated for sometime...we are running 2.34...I wouldn't even know what would need updating, it does about everything we bought it to do...
