I have no idea what your setup looks like but the only thing I can think of is to make sure you're not feeding per rev with no RPMs.
-
IIRC File >> Settings in verification window.

I believe "Save some" only saves geometry which is why assume it opens "as a design" file. That being said in the end it's just a Mastercam file You can add which ever Machine definitions are needed.

use variables in any generic post
3rdstring replied to jlw™'s topic in Post Processor Development Forum
The post can output variables for ex... pbld, n$, 035, "500", 061, *mr1$, scomm_str, "STOCK DIA", scomm_end, e$ pbld, n$, 035, "501", 061, *mr2$, scomm_str, "LENGTH", scomm_end, e$ pbld, n$, 035, "502", 061, *mr3$, scomm_str, "CLEARANCE", scomm_end, e$ pbld, n$, "G10P0Z-", 091, 035, "501", 043, 035, "502", 093, e$ but I don't think you'll be able to enter the variable in MasterCam like that. -
Note that there is MD / CD renaming tool available on the MC website Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
-
There are tutorial files available from Mastercam.com there is also a full DVD iso image download (I'm not sure if the DVD includes the sample files or not). I believe to download anything you will have to link your MC SIM # to a user account (or get the account login info from your IT).

Transfering v8.0 Tools to x8 + 2 questions :)
3rdstring replied to bsander1027's topic in Industrial Forum
MC9 to X3 Functions -
I would use different tools with the same tool Number but different offsets
-
I think what I pointed out is the Machine Group comment. I don't think I've ever used multiple toolpath groups in the same Machine group.
-
Click on the files folder in your tool group
-
I am pretty sure it was just Tool Libraries in the migration wizard when I went from X8 to X9.

File save as. or ? X8 to X7
3rdstring replied to Fred @ Slate Industries's topic in Industrial Forum
That option went away a few releases ago. Now you have to export (save as) a dwg or step or parasolid ... and import into your other version of MC -
Using the Home / Learning edition of MC? I believe that is just the way it works.
-
Serial number = SIM number :Edit: At least with a USB HASP, I'm not sure what you would see on a NetHASP PC
-
I know I've seen that issue before & I'm not 100% sure what I had to change to get it working properly (maybe "From tool" checked in the CD for lathe tools) but It does work now.
-
Look for this... dia_mult : 2 #Multiplier for output on X axis (Neg. switches sign of X) in your post HTH
-
I believe the issue arises from not retracting from the face on the previous op. If I change the retract or use a retract Z ref on the Fin Face path, no error.
-
You should check out the Mill Trim toolpath. HTH COLD_END MASTER CURVE_TRIM.MCX-7
-
The definition for tubes (with an ID) is available in Lathe, in mill you would need to model a solid or maybe set up cylinder and ghost an op to drill the ID.
-
Required tolerance will play a big role in how long this part would take. I can see anywhere from 4 - 12 hours.
-
I would try creating a new tool with the same t# & a different offset #.

VERISURF TOOLS For MASTERCAM 2024
3rdstring replied to Verisurf - Ernie Husted's topic in Industrial Forum
The one in the OP worked for me. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17417379/Verisurf_Tools_for_Mastercam_X8.exe -
You must enable classic backplot to have backplot as it was in previous versions. Start >> All Programs >> Mastercam X8 >> Utilities >> Advanced Configuration There is a switch to turn on classic backplot. HTH

X8 / X9 Save files with solid feature suppressed
3rdstring replied to rsbeadle's topic in Industrial Forum
There is a c-hook on the MC download page that will allow you to save. HTH -
Sticky Keys?
