configuration - converters - 'check' import solidworks solids history... (not SW direct, just file open SW file type)

lang.dll shows unknown file type. what to do? I can't find those instructions and I'm feeling real stupid now..

get rid of that linearize helix crap or set the tolerance to something much lower than you have it.

oh man, you're kidding right? all THAT cause your boss won't send you to a simple basic MC class? /headshake/

vegetable oil.... and watch out for stress relieving cuts. Otherwise twist and bend (warp).

happens to everyone at one time or another. Clean out the taper in the spindle and clean the taper on the holder. then spray some of that holder lube on it. I can't remember what is in it but your tool rep should be able to handle this.

has anyone found this show on discovery on demand yet? fancast?

if you are using solids you may be able to use the 2d HST tool path called 'core mill'. requires two chains. basically the stock boundary and the solid edge chain. there is a video showing it somewhere in the what's new documentation in X3. this is not multiax though. I wonder if you could then utilize the 3 to 5 axis convert? HTH

price is $100 now.

how about offset? works here.

V9 is a big blur~~~~~ right click rename all ops same .nc file name? then it all might post at once?

Doesn't hurt to point them in the right direction.
