thanks this works great m-cam mr-2

Midwest i set my gap settingd to.002 the same as my step down and that worked great thanks so much

its not any spacific file ,im asking this as a general qustion thanks just the same cuda84.

if you could ramp on-off and stay down it would add a little cycle time but not as much as picking all the way up.

i wonder if i can use incremental and let it lift say .005 from the lst decrement hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

ill try it

i been hopeing this would change from v-8 to present but i guess not.

thanks guys have a good one

i do but the tool still piks up.

this adds alot of time to cutting the trode.

thank you midwest

any help would be appreciated.

on a 3-d contour cutting graphite is there a way to prevent the witness line that forms down the part from every decrement of cut.it would be nice if you could ramp on and off without haveing the tool pick up every time.if this can be done that would help also.so far i havent found a way to keep it down.ive mest with transition ,follow surface ect.

thanks in advance

i read in in metric save the file then open it make shure youre config is set to english and it should prompt you then to change to english

im useing mr-2 and its stable

configuring is pretty fast once you start youll see

I have used MC for my electrodes for over 8 years now. You will find alott on this board that also do.

took me a while but now on 9 im all thumbs

select all your ops with in the operation>> right click >> edit selected ops >> rename nc file, then try it.

that worked thank you John have a good day

thanks john

same group same tool just a new path and it gets lost on the out post.if i select them and verify the toolpaths look fine.

same

o.k guys any help would be appreciated.

this happend 2 times so far.if i add a toolpath or alter a tool in a toolpath and re-gen,i go to post out and lets say i pick 3 toolpaths one is the new one i just added.mr2 goes through the posting but drops the highlighed new path, and i checked the code and shure enough it skips it.i think m-cam just gets minde screwed and has trouble here.if i redo all 3 paths of that spacific tool then of course it works.this is a pre existing file.also like adding surfaces to the toolpath or deleting some then a re-gen and say add a path triggers it also.

mori is the way to go

could it be somthing like no semi colin at the end of the block or feed isnt turned up on the pulse generator.

just trying to help sometimes it can be somthing simple

Would anyone else like to see V9 style menu as an option?

no, thank you.

Agreed Jack

2-d ramp

i believe if the named veiw has tool path and boundaries in it, you cant delete it.

makes sense, somthingt to remember

oh no not another sticky

here we go again

I've found that using a surface finish contour and a surface finish shallow toolpath will yield consistently good results.

on the shallow set the angle to 35 and it will come up higher on the walls

agreed murlin

Xform project is the old squash, but it works better now with more options. HTH

i agree heavymetl

Double check your tools before posting.

Good luck!
