REMEMBERED
Thanks, after a lot of trial and error, I remebered the password and created an off line (disk) file that keeps all passwords readily available.
I guess the mind is going a little it just tool 2 days to remember, lol!!
Thanks
No originals, I guess I'll just do a save as..... and delete then password protected ones. I haven't tried it as of yet so I hope that works and does not take the password with it.
Thanks
Hi all,
I have added a password protection to my Machine definition. All programmers use the same files located on the network so password protection is needed. I had a list of passwords on my last PC that has crashed and my IT guys could NOT retrieve any information. Is there a way to remove or reset the password for the machine def. and the control def.?
Thanks
I used it on V9 where I had it save to a single file.
eg. lathe_bakup or mill_backup
Can X do that instead of saving hundreds of different versions/stages of the file?
What is the best way to use the "AUTOSAVE" FEATURE?
I had the autosave feature checked along with "save using active file name" .
After months of this I looked into c:mcamxmcx directory and found hundred of duplicate file names using a LOT of memory.
example:
*@100.MCX
*@101.MCX
*@102.MCX
*@103.MCX

Are there any better options??????
Thanks
I have used inserted tools (Kennametal) for rough machining. I have used them also for finishing, but when close tolerance slots were involved I used a high helix mini-cut. YES, it work hardens very easy, keep an eye on the tools.
Thanks Randy, I had a feeling that the canned cycle wasn't working right. I guess that unless it is a simple tool path like rough turning a straight diameter the rough canned is useless.
I have noticed with the simple stuff MC canned cycle works, its the multiple steps, etc. where MC has the problem.
I remember in V9, you never saw the full canned motion in backplot, you only saw the finish pass.
Is it possible to see it that way again????? You never had a collision in previous versions.
Again thanks for the help and info.
