morning all. i am getting an error when trying to pull in a solid works file. "cannot find parasolid data in solidworks file". I have compared all settings between my two workstations and see no variations. only one station is giving me this issue. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I started using X+ about a month ago and love it. Works great in X2MR2 mill level 3.
Problem is, when I was on vacation we recieved the X3 update and it was loaded on my system, I have tried to down load X+ for X3 but can not get it to work, all I get is an empty window, no icons. All i can think is that there is a file in the wrong place but do not know which one or where to put it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried a search but found nothing that helps.
THANKS
My coworker and I are trying to figure out how to machine a 1" deep by 4" wide -8 degree taper inside of a cavity using a 3 axis HAAS machine.
We are using X2 mill level 3.
When we use finish flowline, it backplots properly but does not verify properly. we have not tried to actually cut any stock yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
hi all. The company I work for currently utilizes MC9.1 w/out the solids option. Our design department uses solid works '05 and we, in the tooling department import and convert the files. When MC10 comes-out, would there be any advantages to getting the solids option? Being fairly new to mastercam I cannot answer this question adequately enough for my superiors.
hello again
thank you for all the help. i have tried all of your suggestions but have had no success.
the following is code iget with my post.
