  1. Hi Ron, I tried to use that "ROLLDIE" chook and it seems to make the finish and sides even worse. (never used it before) Are there any settings that need to be adjusted on the last screen that pops up? Thanks
  2. Hi Peeps, We have a new Doosan MX2600. We also bought the post from Mastercam that has machine simulation. Question.... We have a stainless steel part over 42" long and 6.5 diameter. We are starting on the right spindle using steadyrest from lower turret and cutting a slot. Now the work on the right spindle is complete. We need to transfer the part from right to left. Thats not the problem..... The problem is the part is long and very heavy, so, how do I move the right spindle and the lower turret at the same time during the transfer? Thanks
  3. Thanks John, that works.
  4. Thanks JP.... I did the search but the only stuff that shows up is old versions and is no longer available. Do you have a link?
  5. Howdy folks, Just wondering if there is a c-hook or something available for GD&T Thanks
  6. Right click on the file..... open with..... (select Mastercam X7) Make sure "always use the selected program to opem this kind of file" is checked or just delete X6
  7. I agree with Hockey Guy..... We had a DMU-50 with the Siemens 840D...... What a POS...... Good thing Superstorm Sandy took care of it for us....
  8. Our NetHasp is setup on a server in our North Carolina facility. There are problems but are minimal. Worst is when IT messes with the server we get a "NetHasp has been disconected, do you want to save?" Maybe it IT..... or weather. Who knows. Restart Mastercam and it comes back usually right away.
  9. Yep, found a way around it..... .... Thanks Thad Thanks Ernie
  10. Thanks Thad, I guess I gotta get IT involved. I tried to bypass it, then I got an illegal download error.
  11. ROR.....nah....just gonna smack him around a bit.
  12. Hey Flute Face.... Who do ya think effed up the MD in the first place.
  13. Tried that Colin, but it doesnt seem to stick.
  14. yes it does Del. Just wierd that it switches when the part is drawn in inch, programmed in inch using this machine definition, then I go to modify something in settings, machine definition it wants to switch over.
  15. It starts in inch...... Part is drawn in inch also, not sure why it switches over
  16. Is there a way to permanently change the units from metric to inch in a machine definition? When I go to settings and machine definition manager, I get a window that pops up that says changing units from English to Metric. Tha part is drawn in English and now it wants to convert.
  17. LOL.... NO cutter path...No nuthin.....
  18. Found what was wrong........ ME LOL
  19. Hey John, I see there is a tip offset of .01. Why does mastercam go deeper than that. Just curious. We have our pre-setter set a chamfer tool to a diameter and program a flat endmill at that per-set diameter because the tip offsets always seem wrong for a chamfer cutter. Or am I missing something??? Thanks
