  1. With Microsoft edge I can not get export XML to open in browser until I click reload tab in Internet explorer mode. Am I missing a setting somewhere? this my version of edge. I can not get the xml files to open in firefox or chrome either. I have a custom xsl file, however can not get it to work with design tools supplied stylesheets either. thanks Rich
  2. I think this might be what you were looking for inhouse addons the download link is near the end of the thread Rich
  3. I have had this problem with xp pro running mcx2.I haven't taken time to figure it out. It does seem like if I drag a toolbar to the screen it is ok,but if I close with red X it will load all toolbars to screen and take forever to start responding again.When it happens to me and I reopen mcam It will load toolbars ok and all seems fine. Rich
  4. I haven't heard of hurco hyperlink.I got the ultinet option.
  5. I use Ultinet it works great.I hooked it up to our network and and from computer you can drag and drop to ie window.
  6. another thing to remember if you program with Mastercam is the Hurco has a backwards G18.You need to change switch in post.
  7. + 1000 to Carl We Have a km3, bmc 2416 and a vm1. We have had good luck with them.I use conversational and nc programming.Sometimes both on the same part.For the money they are good machines.Machine options can up the price quickly though.
  8. Colin, yes I am saving it. It seems like I can reproduce the hangup by opening a new file create cylinder solid then make another level active with level dialog invoked by ctrl z. Then create cylinder solid.select 1 of the solids hit F4 click on level icon and I get the error. If I make new level in level box at bottom of screen it works ok.
  9. No I am getting the error as soon as I click on the level icon in the analyze dialog and the levels dialog never opens.
  10. thanks for the quick response let me now if you need more details.
  11. Pete, I select the solid hit F4 to open analyze window type in name then use ctrl c to copy the name.Then I click on level icon when it opens level manager I paste with ctrl v. Then I move on to next solid to name.It gives me the error when I click on the level icon.After I get the error message analyze window stays open and I can not close it or do anything else in mcam. If I try to exit I get the exit current function message.
  12. In X2 I have a parasolid x_b I imported. I was renaming the solids then I copy name and paste to the level number with analyze window.It will let me rename a few solids and levels then I get an "internal application error" and can not do anything in mcam,so I have to close it with task manager. Has anyone else seen this?
  13. check this thread the chook ai utility has a screen capture that uses white background without changing it yourself.I like the way it works.
  14. Thanks this is a nice utility. I especially like the screen image with white back ground and the calc.Looks like you got the clock back. Thanks Rich
  15. here is a post about updating increment amount in incrementalllevelswithrange
  16. On the ftp site in the vb_scripts folder there is IncrementAllLevels.vbs and IncrementAllLevelsWithRange.vbs these work well for merging files.I think I use IncrementAllLevels.vbs It will move all displayed entities from the level they are on to that level plus increment value.It does not move name to new level though.You will have to edit the script if you want to increment more than 254.
  17. Not that I know of.Maybe use level set column if you don't use it for something else.
  18. We have a bmc2416 and a vm1 that we program in basic nc.I use the offsets in the conversational tool page.The offsets in conversational page can be retained from their g code to conversational side so you can go back and forth without resetting tools. Rich
  19. doing it in excel doesn't take that long and I find it less tedious than ctrl + v if I have a fair amount to do.
  20. I use it to easily turn different levels of parts of a mold on and off.I think it works good. + 1 to label multible levels at the same time. The way I do it is right click in level manager and save named levels then edit it in excel and import it with get named levels in level manager.
  21. I believe this is what your looking for. ncdatasheet
  22. I had problems with this also.I had done a side by side install with mr1 and chose option during install to merge existing files.When I went to check file paths it had some of them pointing to my mr1 install so I changed them to the proper paths. hth Rich
