Can you put the file on cadcam's ftp site?

Also you could create a solid of your surface then in file/converters/stl/write ascii and save it on data folder, you will get an stl file. After from verify/configure, check files and choose your previously saved files in stl format

I usually keep the same driver until i make an update on mastercam (or another software). Also if i was upgrading my system. I am using FX1400 nvidia video card (pretty old) but still working good even with X3MU1. So i don't need to upgrade my driver.

It's a post issue, I took my post (for hitachi) and works find. Here is my output: O0001(TEST SUBT-18 DIA-.25) (FINISH .406 SLOTS) (MAX | Z3.)

Rory, I usually blank my geometry that i don't need for toolpath or any other reason. So i don't see them on the screen.

In X2MR2, you will get the STL into lines. With X3MU1, you can import as stl mesh so you can shade it

Chris Thank you for logging this issue. Sorry that will delete files from 'temp' folder only. The following command should be used instead RMDIR /S/Q C:McamX3commontemp md C:McamX3commontemp /s: include all subdirectories /q: will NOT prompt before delete That will completely delete 'temp' folder without prompting and ask question if you want to delete or not in each folder. And make new directory called 'temp'.

Temporally process could be using a script file like batch file and execute "del C:McamX3commontemp*.*" inside. So by executing this file will erase the file in the specified path.

Mike, Did you answered 'YES' when asked if you have move than one folder from the imported file? On my computer, it doesn't mix it up. Hope, it help...

quote: Trying to create a section cut thru a imported parasolid If trying this for layout drawing purpose What i usually do is a solid/trim (where i want the section done), then from that new solid i create the layout the result is very good

Have you looked at your filter if activated it should join the lines with arc filtering

Sorry, i misunderstood the question. What Eric said is better. quote: First go to config / start/exit / set start up product to design. it should do what your asking for.

I had a similar problem before, we (my reseller and QC of mastercam) found that my path in the default.config file was wrong. I you open 'default.config' file you should see the path from your actual installation. Yours is probably set to your old installation. You need to set them at your actual installation.

The best way i found is using subprogram for each tool, then i create two different main, one for the setup and the other for production. So wathever modification i do as implementation, it always good for both production and setup. Also, when using two different machine for each operation, i can optimise each main program from the machine.

You're welcome

What are your system tolerance in your config file? tolerance setting should be smallest as possible (mine is 0.000001)

quote: ...that worked better in older versions.X2MR2SP1 is doing the samething as you described before. I have never realized it before because i usually work with 3d and make the drafting directly onto the solid. I don't see the advantage to make the drafting somewhere else than on the solid

you're welcome

Just a tips, if you need to make a straight section view from your solid. Using straight section option will give you the same result as projection of a line onto the solid. What i usually do is a solid/trim (where i want the section done), then from that new solid i create the layout the result is very good

then you can reinstall your sample files from the website http://updates.mastercam.com/x2/mr2/master...lefiles-web.exe

k turk wich version are you using?

quote: It worked just fine in X2, From X2MR1 it has been changed already. I cannot check on X2 because, i uninstalled it.

I know it's a bit late for the answer, but this morning i had this message 'No Matching Op File' on file open and after merging files also. I did a search and found many thread regarding this issue and tried many thing to fix this but no luck. I found that when i open a session of mastercam by clicking directly on the mcx (file A), it seem that i have 'No Matching Op File' message when i try to merge another file that contain solid entities (file . If i open a mastercam session (not part file) then in mastercam i click on 'open' the same file (file A) and then i merge the other file (file i have no problem and no message. It seem to be in this workaround. Any other people had this issue? or am i wrong? Any other idea are welcom! Thanks for the help.

After roughing process. I would finish the wall on 2d contour no ramp multiple Z depth cut with a lead in/out w/perp-line .050 w/arc rad 400% sweep 2deg using enter/exit at midpoint in closed contour That will make the entry and exit very smooth. I made a lot of part for microwave where no mark are allowed. For aluminium it came out great

Also you can double-click in the field beside 'operation manager' then the operation manage will popout from the screen
