Look here linky I got this help, it worked for me so I'm sharing the wealth.
-
Select with a left mouse click, drag the box and left mouse click to select. Right mouse click over the system color and select new color.

Hymen, same file as other posting. It has the flip in it with the .05 translation. Ftp site under MCX2_Files directory as "groove question.MCX"
-
Thanks guys, took a while but got it now. So much nicer looking at a readout and seeing blue print numbers. Thanks
-
the problem is they need to touch off the groove tool on the opposite side where mastercam has the offset. I am putting the file on the ftp site under MCX2_Files directory as "groove question.MCX" It is operations 5 and 6 on the 1st side and operations 15 and 16 on the second side. Thanks

The out put looks good, just this error. This is a single spindle machine (actally they all are). Does it matter if they are single spindle. I understand if it's a totally different location like a duel spindle situation but I am just flipping and shifing in "Z" .050 olong the same "Z" axis. Thanks

When using a front face groove tool I have to offset the geometry for the tool thickness and during back plot it obviously will violate the material. The guys on the shop floor have to touch off on the opposite side of the tool (this is the cutting edge) because of the close tolerance. Is there a way to change the zero location on lathe groove tools?

your welcome

They are Okumas I think if I just "#" out the error line all should be good. It doesn't seem to be linked to anything. # ------------------------------------------------ # Misc. Ops. Postblock Section - comments only! # ------------------------------------------------ toolend_flg : 1 #Flag to execute ptoolend sequence or not | HERE V #smiscops_msg "( *** Post Customization REQUIRED! - for Misc Ops. Functions *** )" Am I right??????? :cheers"

we have that error from time to time. SOMETIMES it starts others it doesn't. Just reboot the server where the net hasp is set up and all should be fine.

Thanks Steve, That was pretty cool. Just tried it and posted it. Output looks good except the post error. This is what I got. ( *** Post Customization REQUIRED! *** ) ( STOCK FLIP -> MISC OPS. function was programmed ! ) N1840M00 Guess I gotta look at the post. Any idea where? Thanks

I have a part that is cut on an arbor. I remove .05 from the face and do some finish turning on the end where it gets faced. Then there is a program stop, and flip part. Is there a way to have the updated geometry get flipped compensating the .050. The way I do it now is using two machine groups and manually putting the programs together. This seems a little tedious. Is there a simple way? Thanks

+100000 Mark Those letters do work much better. They have smother curves than if they get imported.

We have that problem here. We have a zerox network copier, a HP color laser and a HP laser printer. When I print a large file to the copier I get a blank page, but, if I send it to one of the two laser it prints with no problem.

Thanks guys, got to work just fine. A lot different than Catia. Used MC for a long time, just never the 5x portion.
-
select all entities, right click on line widthe and change style. (bottom right corner)
-
Thanks, thats what I missed. (gotta read the MC note window)
-
I put the file on the ftp site in the mcx_files directory as "5x surface.mcx" Thanks
-
I have programmed 5x on Catia at previous place. (never tried 5x in MC) I am trying to create a simple practice 5x swarf cut and when doing a backplot the part flips over. The part is a 10 inch diameter at the base and 12 inch diameter at the top, 3 inches high. The two circles have been divided in half so it is two arcs with a 180 degree sweep and a surface was put on that. Is there something that I have overlooked. Thanks

no prob. Yea I know, it doesn't allow rotations.
-
I got it to work nicely now. In verify go into the configure page and turn OFF " use true solids " Hope that helps beej.
-
It doesn't seem to change regardless of the quality or tolerance that is used.

Profile will contour but not pocket?

try smart dimensioning, it might be hidden, its a yellow light bulb.
