I haven't use Multiaxis toolpath for a awhile. Today, I try to do one toolpath but I found that the toolpath setting window got some problem!! The picture at right is been cut as my attachement. If only the picture is cut would be fine. But, in Collision Control tag, the icon at right side of the table is been cut also. (See the other attached picture) Then I can not define the checking surface! I tried to change my laptop resolution, icon size setting, connect to a external screen. Nothing help! Could any one help me to fix it? Is there a setting in Mastercam I should change? Thanks.

I've used mastercam since V5.5, used it heavily from V6 to X, took another job in sales that diverted me from programming for a while, now I'm back. In the past, I used NCL for all 5 axis programming, NCL is no longer available to me so I'm going to use X7. How can I get up to speed quickly? is the Advanced multiaxis training manual good? are there any good sample files available? Where is the best place to go for 5-axis training? my local reseller recommended a local contract programmer. appreciate all the help I can get.. Russ

I´m just started with 4 axis programming, im using mastercam since 2010 Im using mastercam X4 I need to drill around 1500 holes of 2.5mm to an aluminum shell mold with 15mm thickness. Im using a VMC with the A axis paralel to Y axis I need to make the holes orthogonal to the surfaces, or the nearest to orthogonal. some surfaces in the mold have more than 60º of tilt but my 4th axis is restricted to +- 45º (or it will hit the mold to the table) Im trying with "drill 5 axis toolpath", but it does the drill toolpath the way he wants, some drills upside down some at around 90º and warning that "rapid move hit operation surface" in "axis limits" I checked "Y" and set up minimum 45º maximum 135º geometries: output format: 4 axis rotary axis: Y axis entity type: points (selecting points drawed near the surface ) tool axis control: surface (selecting the mold surfaces) tip control: original point Linking parameters: clearance 50mm relative retract 2mm relative top of stock 2mm relative depth -18mm relative I don´t know what am I doing wrong thank you, all help is wellcome

Any chance on a book being developed to address 4 and 5 axis router programming? I am working on training programming with MasterCam to a local company with several routers and find little to help support my efforts. I believe that they only have a router license so milling tutorials won't work and is inaccessible to them.

hi guys, I'm doing this part, a mouse mold. Somebody could give me a little help? I have to use multiaxis functions at least one time. You can find the cad file in here: http://grabcad.com/library/mouse-mold I'm trying to do the lower part.

Hi Guys, Attached is the pic of a manifold surface I am trying to finish on a 4th axis rotary, this due to tool clearance issues from the top side. I have created a plane at a random angle but get collisions against the tubes, I rotate the WCS and clear one tube but hit the other. I have seen toolpath that are pivoted from a point, does anyone here know how to apply that on this part. I want the tool to stay at a fixed point and rotate the A axis in order to avoid the collision. Regards, Greyman !
