Yeah? I'm guessing it isn't the V application. I don't recall them offering a lease option. Like you, I prefer a bought and that's it... (a'la perpetual). I don't see it as progress. Maybe an option...
-
I heard a rumour the lease Option was coming. In regards to hard copies, we got one, for our two seats, months after the release. One mouse pad though. And no other swag. Our dealer squeaks when he walks....

The +D+Z issue seriously messes with my usage of 2017 for lathe. Right now, it is 2017 for mill, and X9 for lathe. Mill Turn, well...
-
There definitely will be. I'll be back here, either for work or vacation, or both
-
LOL, that you do
-
LOL, but when the features it provides fill your suitcase, the baggage charges are worth it. Back at ya... LOL
-
Has it fixed the +D+Z issue, or is that still fritzed? You'd laugh if I told you where I was posting this from....

I have an old post that outputs 3D Cutter comp. I need to dig that out.
-
Yeah, I guess
-
I thought it was Mill Entry, Mill 2D, Mill 3D, Multi Axis then the addons. Lathe Entry, Lathe Level 1, then that Mill Turn thing which requires some kind of Milling. I dunnp... I'm like James, I've kind of lost track... LOL

Time frame is....... I'll message you

You not getting my emails Jay?
-
I posted up some code that worked on the exact same controller we have in our shop, and I queried what post the op was using, but never got a response.
-
Nice work, and thank you for putting such effort in. I will download this and check it out. -
Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing the prerelease of the machine sim
-
You got it Actually, I'm really surprised that something as simple as this isn't available in Cimco Edit backplot. There are plenty of 4 axis verticals out there.

Either I am missing something really obvious, or I am wanting something that isn't there.. How do I display cylindrical solid stock in Cimco Edit Backplot with the centreline parallel with the X axis (as if set up on a 4 axis Vertical mill)? All I seem to be able to do is display the stock with the centreline parallel with the Z axis.

Looking for updated MP Post editing documentation
Mick replied to wdg5555's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
John, you would be what I expect the definition of a reseller would be. Prompt and efficient. It seems not all are equal though -
Is there a 5 axis post that is not encrypted?
Mick replied to jlw™'s topic in Post Processor Development Forum
Seriously? I doubt it. Part of that post is encrypted by CNC Software, as mentioned previously. -
There was an Okuma post that was part of the post installation executable, that had the LAP cycles all defined. It seemed to work pretty well from memory. Seems to me that would have been a better option, rather than converting a Fanuc post. Maybe use the variable lathecc to (if lathecc <> 0, "G80") Without knowing the post, I wouldn't be sure where to put it though.

What post processor are you using?
-
Timing is everything. Hah, I was just experimenting with some toolpaths, and I had a prime example of where this was needed. I actually tried the Air Region earlier and got what I was trying to achieve, and then came across this thread

I just took delivery of a HP ZBook G3 mobile workstation. I didn't go the Xeon processor, just an I7, but it did come with an Nvidia Quadro M2000M with 4Gb of video memory, 64gb ram, and two 512gb SSD drives. Run my notebooks with a docking station connected to 2 24" monitors. It works a treat, and gives me the portability when needed. As for gaming cards? I find Mastercam (along with pretty much all CAD/CAM software) runs best on the Quadro series of cards. The gaming cards I always had some kind of issue with.

How have you been doing over there?
