Can anyone recommend a good supplier for Circle Segment Lens mills? I am currently using Emuge but they are coated. I would like to find uncoated for aluminum.

Just tried it on a different file and it does not happen. It seems that it is just 1 file. When I zoom in it gets worse. When I zoom out it goes away.

I have shading on. My setting look the same as yours.

No. Plastic.

All of a sudden I can see wireframe through my solid model in 2020 and it's driving me nuts. Translucency is not on.

Nowadays when someone says, "Dude, you got a Dell?", they are saying it with a look of disgust on their face.

Easilyfind the right restart with my 6 digit Sequence number which combines the tool number with the operation number. M01 (OP NUM 008 ) N001008 (CHAMF CLOSED) G00 G17 G40 G80 G90 G94 G98 G00 G28 G91 Z0. M01 (OP NUM 008 ) M43 M11 (A/B UNLOCK) T001 ( 1/4 CHAMF ) M06

Reducing your tolerance will give you a better resolution. Like others have said, I usually 3d these with a flow path to avoid the headaches of axis substitutions.

This was why HP was wanting to make 5K monitors. It is a more native view ratio than 4k. 4k was very poorly thought out. Obviously, 8K is another step in the wrong direction. But, 8k does make 4k cheaper.

I do the same. I have said that for years. I thought I was the only one who realized it.

If your post came from MLCCAD it will probably never work.

That's lathe. Thread milling is generally mill. M8 x 1 pitch is 1/25.4

GEEZE! How did you stumble upon that?

I wish. A path at the top and the bottom.

To 2k. Or, just get a 2k monitor.

Turn off cutter comp. Turn off leadin/out. Turn off lookahead.

AWE CR@P. I've been out done.

Mine calculated both forward and backwards.

Cool beans. Much thanks!

I would like to know how. The issues were primarily 5ax curve and 5ax swarf that were giving me the headaches.

That was my thought. Just select the new chains/surfaces. It would not let me. The 2 models were placed in the same exact positions on different levels. Then I turned off the original model layer, deleted all of the entities and selected the features of the new model and regenerated. Then to test I turned on the old model and translated it 5 inches. When I did that It showed that I had to regenerate the ops again. NOT COOL! The only way it would work was to completely recreate new ops and copy the parameters over. That had to be done for 17 out of 52 processes. The original model was a catia import. Not one straight surface on this thing. We were told the model had been translated from metric to inch. That is usually a bad idea. After that we had some many gouge issues (just really stupid stuff) we tried converting to STP and reassigning geometry. That reassociation did not go well at all. But some of the gouge issues were fixed, not all.

This is a 5ax aero prototype part. Unfortunately, no.

Let me know when the jury returns a verdict. Until then I will avoid 2021. The NCI file is where I discovered the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s. That is how I tracked down the faulty process. The funny thing is I recreated the entire process. When doing so, the new process auto loaded most the same settings from the problem process. That caused the new process to do the exact same thing. It was not until started unchecking depth cut boxes, regenerating and rechecking and regenerating them that the issue was resolved. 2020 has a very very bad issue of not letting go of things. Just like my wife. I spend a lot of time recreating ops because of corruption. I believe the real corruption is the lack of help we get after paying maintenance.

He is in California. That means he can pitch his tent right on his employer's front lawn. So, location is irrelevant.

I wrote my own programs to do this on my Casio calculator.
