Out of my head.
Thanks Scott.
I use NC Plot everyday for both Mills and Lathes:banana:
I hope so. It would be a shame to replace a Dell Precision after a few years of use.
Interesting point on Graphics Cards. Dedicated Cards actually do make a difference.:cheers:
Export from BCC as a STEP, Import into Alibre in a None-Alibre STEP.
Alibre has their own STEP Format for Alibre Users to send to one another. Alibre STEP Files still have the Design Tree with...
Not at this point but I would be inclined too if there was more info on the 128 bit system. Last I knew we still had 32 and 64 bit.:rolleyes:
LOL:D
Nice work!:cool:
I just Upgraded from Professional to Expert which included one year of Maintenance. While this added a few new features I found the CAM to be limited in most respects.
The new MOI Add-On opens...
To be honest it would probably be cheaper to buy a Lathe with Live Tooling rather than buying a Lathe without (adding Live Tooling Later). There are Internal Components in the Turret for the Live...
You need to select the geometry that you want to Mirror or Scale. It works the same as the Direct Editing Feature.
LOL, then get a quote from Mastercam.
BTW: Alibre doesn't make the CAM end of the Software, its MecSoft (Visual Mill). It's integrated with Alibre Design. So there is the possibility of a Bug in...
Have you contacted Alibre Tech Support about this issue??
It's always best to report these events so a solution can be found ASAP
Get them (the videos) included with your Expert Purchase. The Videos are very good, but if you get an active maintenance plan there are online video tutorials as well.
I have the V10 videos but...
I have to agree with the above post.
I found it easier to create four separate programs for the machine.
Turning in Spindle -1
Then the Milling in Spindle -1
Transfer from Spdl-1 to Spdl-2...
Hey Geof,
The Impeller I gave him is the one on my website.

I recently worked with an Mori Seiki NL2500/700 MSY. It's a great machine tool, but in my honest opinion the Capps/Mapps Conversational Programming is a leap. Your better off programming in G-Code....
Here is an Impeller. The Blade Geo. is not calculated, as I used this for a visual aid for a customer.
Let me know how the machining comes out:)
Not to twist your brain too much Scott, but a Turn-Mill back plot would be great.
There are a lot of shops buying Turn_Mill Lathes and the programming gets involved when you have a full Y-Axis and...
PM Entertainment Tonight, LOL.:)
BTW:Goef, only one or two hints. I think you better spend your time here instead of wasting valuable minutes on PM.
Keep this in mind the next time you have any type of contract agreement. Read and understand what your agreeing too and if you do not understand it, ask a lawyer.
That version is a little outdated but you can find books and DVD's on the internet at reasonable prices.
I suggest Tips for Manufacturing.:)

Couldn't agree more Al :)
KeyShot is now available for Alibre Design Professional & Expert users with current maintenance.
KeyShot - The key to amazing shots!
I have Professional which includes the Parts Library, Photo Render, PDF BOM's, Prints & Solid Models, and Algor Design Checker. Professional comes with a lot which is why I have not upgraded to...
Bam!!!!!:D
This is true BurrMan but don't forget that there are specific functions and tools that aren't available in the standard version.
Have you asked this question on the eMastercam Forum??
Might be worth a shot :)
Alibre uses Direct X not NURBS.
Simon you have a PM:)
First thing Alibre will handle 6 places after the decimal. (.000001)
Second STL and DXF aren't the best for machining purposes. You should be using STEP or IGES Models for Machining.
The STL's...
