There a few videos on the new forum that might give you an idea for instance ...

If you want hyperterminal all you need to do is grab the hypertrm.exe & hypertrm.dll from your xp box. (you could also get the .ht file for the setting if you saved it.) :Edit: somewhere in the windows directory tree IIRC

There are standard hole / shaft tolerances that are designated with a (letter) (number) call out. Note that a k5 would be different from a K5. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

If you downloaded it, there is a separate download for sample files (@ Mastercam.com), IIRC its an optional install from the DVD too.

Yes (If you asking about Machine Definition / Control Definition / Post files)

IIRC there is a md/cd/post rename utility at Mastercam.com. Personally if that was the only difference, I would try flipping the output format with a mi switch. JM2C :edit: make sure you have a backup B-)

I believe the SolidWorks drivers are available at SolidWorks. I have the latest ode driver installed at the moment.

My best guess about the issues you are trying to explain .... In the config file under CAD setting is checkbox to update the Cplane & Tplane when changing the Gview. Also if you go into your my mcamx6\config folder & rename the config file (with MC closed) a new one will be built with MasterCam default settings when you restart MC.

This is what solid layout will give you (After stitching the surfaces together).

You can stitch surfaces together to create a solid, assuming your MC license includes solids

It could still be surfaces, Check Screens >> Statistics. Also if you pick a face & the whole model is selected it will be a solid. I believe you need the MC Solids add on to use Solid Layout.

Interesting. After changing in the control def & op defaults the optimize box comes up unchecked when I do a new path. (I just tried again and verified)

I think Jon is right, there is a setting in the control definition that worked in my (very) limited testing.

:Double Post:

In options in verify (folder with red exclamation point) you can change it to what you need. IDK why it doesn't always pick up the stock set up values correctly.

Under the appropriate version of MasterCam X (I.e. X7) in the control pannel there is an option to reset the status bar pane. HTH

I believe you have to get the post guide from your reseller.

add "%", e$ in the pheader$ section of the post

The stop is just a modified drill. I have to tell MC the offset for length, #501,mr1.I had to modify the post for the desired output. You have to look at the post & find where the -G10 line is being output.

I use Miscellaneous Reals (MRs) to output the desire G10 line in the post, I leave it a little long & can then adust it closer to the spindle on the machine. 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$, "G10P0Z-", 091, 035, "501", 043, 035, "502", 093, e$ #501=1.51(LENGTH) #502=.35(CLEARANCE) G10P0Z-[#501+#502] Note: you have to format the variables to output fmt 11 mr2$ #Turn Length Macro No 501 - from first op CJH fmt 11 mr3$ #Clearance Macro No 502 - from first op CJH

I realize I can change the CSS size statements, but it was a rather large image that did scale on my xp box but didn't on the new 7 64 machine.

This is mine that works. /* company logo <div> - location and size of image*/ .LOGO{ position:relative; /* size of your logo */ width:100px; height:100px; /* position of your logo */ left:8px; top:8px; /* location of your logo */ /* local */ background-image: url(file:///C:/logo.png); /* internet */ /* background-image:url(http://porterpunch.com/images/logo.png); */ background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:0px 0px; z-index:1; When I got my Win 7 PC I banged my head against the wall for quite a while till I found out I had to re-size the image down as the size CSS statements were cropping the upper right corner of the picture instead of scaling it down. at least that's what I think was happening as I was using the CSS that worked on my old XP box.

Try putting quotes around the path, from the c: through the file name (and comment out the internet url).

I believe Active Reports is a licensed product, not developed by CNC Software.

I believe Foxit reader comes with a writer too.
