I have to agree with you there Ron. It sure is easier with the right click
-
Vericut 7.4.2? You haven't gone to 8?
-
No, it was a new toolpath. Person wanted some instruction on how to toolpath a tricky groove. Because the Ribbon Bar expands down to show General, Manual and Canned toolpaths, it is easy to scroll down to Canned and not realise it. The Category heading doesn't update when you scroll down, and that is what caught me.
-
Sorted.. It was on Canned Grooving... Damn ribbon bar...
-
Ok, I was just looking at a file for someone. I went to try a toolpath for them in MC2017, and tried a Lathe Groove toolpath. The chain option is grayed out, and it will only let me use 1 point, 2 points, or three lines. What is up with that? The same profile in X9, I can chain.
-
Ron, that is exactly what I have done. Especially with engraving, to avoid excessive hop ups. Using a high federate, I sometimes re-trace the contour(s). Way quicker that way
-
Since being recommended to use a Quadro a long time ago, I have stuck with them all the way through, and I've never had a problem. Either Mobile or Desktop.

Need help with mastercam 2017 collision checking fixture
Mick replied to cam16's topic in Industrial Forum
I've met the guys from Techtown, when I was at a resellers conference in 2009 (in the good old days). Actually, I still have their business cards. They seemed like good people. Interestingly, I've encountered quite a few pirates a lot closer to home over the past few years. It is quite surprising how many people are out there have been on far less than legit licenses. -
You got a link Jay? *Edit* No probs, found it
-
Your reseller actually emails you about updates? Really? All we get is maintenance invoices.
-
+1000 to Rons post. MpMaster is one of the best, if not THE best, post bases for a horizontal (or a vertical for that matter), if you're customising your own, rather than using a third party post.
-
It seems to be working fine for me. I tried on an older file, and a newly created file, several times, and it appears to behave as it should.
-
It will be interesting to hear about what it can do I remember when the Gold Partner status was removed for HSMWorks. Autodesk were "wtf?"... Still, Autodesk would probably do the same.
-
Autodesk are really thumping the Cloud drum. It sure isn't for me. I wasn't aware of HSMWorks pricing before Autodesk took it over, but I know there is a lot of resistance to the subscription type license.
-
The Autodesk guys were chuffed about being able to supply free HSMExpress to Solidworks users. It will be interesting to see where all this leads Being that HSMWorks isn't a gold partner, that puts them on a lower tier.
-
Is there much information out there about it? I couldn't find anything.
-
I've never encountered it in X9, only 2017.

I'm running an Nvidia Quadro M2000M. Driver Version 356.49 / 10.18.13.5649

Is there a 5 axis post that is not encrypted?

Count me in as well -
Interesting. I thought I was the only one encountering this. I can't replicate it, as it occurs at random, though not so often. Same fix, I just shut down and restart MC.
-
Haha, I've done the same thing myself before
-
Don hasn't been active here since 2013. Just saying

The Multus U3000/4000 machines as some have mentioned in this thread, would work well for this application. I spent some time on a U3000 at Okuma in Charlotte, and it is a very capable machine. I'm waiting for our U3000 to be installed (building still being finished for the new machine shop). WFL is another VERY nice machine. Though it depends on size. I believe they don't make smaller machines.
-
I did this on Mazak mill turn a few years back. Effectively machined a groove using an endmill, ramping down. I can't recall the specifics, but it worked perfectly.
-
In fairness, I think there are decent number of applications out there with 2D capabilities as good as, and in the area of stock recognition, superior to Mastercam. Certainly for ease of use, MC is in the upper bracket though. Mill-Turn *cough* LOL
