Gentlemen,
I am a mill guy. Have been for over 30 years, manual then CNC. My question is in regards to how are lathe turning tool holders suppose to be placed in the turret on a CNC lathe. I...

Clustercam strikes again. Our IT guy spent an hour after I spent 2 hours trying to fix this BS. Finally, he just deleted the registry folder for M'cam and now it is fine.

Same problem here. We are not paying for the maintenance so if someone can help me with this, I would appreciate it dearly.

I am trying to program a camshaft using using a rotary axis contour but not having much luck with the results. The image I found online is an example of what I am trying to accomplish. I am using X4...

To think that the company I work for has been paying thousands of dollars for maintenance for this product for who knows how many years...... for what? The endless bugs? The never ending program...

Anyone else open a MX4 files and find that you machine group is missing from the file. Toolpath Group is there, but the machine group not. So I add a machine group and move the operations into the...

Can someone explain to me why CNC Software had to mess with the drill sorting? In previous versions, I could select drilling locations and that would be the order in which Mastercam would accept them...

I am trying to set defaults for operations. Specifically, the coolant default. When I open an operation in the Op manager, and go to the coolant section, I have the option of M08, M09 and IGNORE in...

For those of you using X4, if you didn't see the post to my last thread, there WILL be a X4 MU3 according to Ruth at CNC Software, Inc. Thank goodness....

Sorry for the delay.
When you open the file, run Screen > Regenerate Display List.

This is a known bug that is being corrected for X4 MU3


This a reply from CNCSoftware in regards to solids...

Was it wrong for me to install X4 if I didn't uninstall X3? Or any of the Maintenance Updates for X4? Could that have caused some recent problems I had with translating/rotating solids? A co-worker...

BRING BACK MC9!!! And for those of you considering X4, DON'T DO IT!!!! The maintenance updates are not fixes, just more BUGS!

After I uninstalled MU2 I was able to move solids around again. I hope MU3 is in the works.

Can I uninstall MU2?


I recently updated X4 to MU2. Twice today I tried to rotate a simple solid that I created. Here is a list of keystrokes in proper order. Select right side plane, click...

I think I can fix your problem, but I have been wrong before, it wont be the last time either. Email me your post and I will take a look at it. I was looking at my post and I think I know how to fix...

Hey TS! Its doug from the chrome. Send me a private message if you can.

Cadcam,

I am in Tennessee. Our reseller was in Kentucky but after we complained about the support, we were directed to a reseller here in TN. Now the one here in TN seems to be losing interest in...

Well, It's here! The update for X4 is here! I installed it yesterday. Today, I run verify, and the graphic lighting is messed up. Anyone else with this issue? I did a system restore and graphic...

Anyone know when Mastercam is going to put out an update for X4 to fix the bugs? The fact that we have to wait as long as we do is ....... oh nevermind, I keep forgetting who I am dealing with. The...

Go to settings, configuration then on left menu, click on "screen" option, check the disable hardware acceleration box. And make sure you are using OpenGL option checked. Then apply/accept. Try that.

Did you get help on this yet?

I was able to fix my post so that the proper signed angle is posting. :banana:

Good Morning Gentlemen,

I am editing the generic fanuc 5x mill post and my angles are slighty wrong. First, let me explain my setup. We have a 4th axis (B axis) mounted on the X plus (right, when...

Answer to your question is I am running MU1, so MU1 is not the fix all.

OK lately, I have done nothing but b****h about Mastercam. Are any of you having problems with X3? ie: config file changing randomly, filter not working for tool selection, toolpath groups adding...

Why is it when I am trying to exit a function by using the escape key, it doesn't work until I click the graphics background then escape key? Is it just me? aggravating :confused:

I am somewhat new here and never posted a file on here for review. Is there a thread that explains it? Thanks. And when I finally do figure it out, which files do you guys want for reviewing? Just...

Thanks for the input. First, we haven't tried to run it yet and yes they are "B" moves by themselves, but we are limited on memory space which is why I don't need the excessive b moves. The sub-macro...

To put it in simple terms, we are trying to do a lathe part on the mill. With a 4th axis and a ball end mill, we want to rotate part 360° then step over in X axis then repeat. We got Mastercam to...

I need a 5X post for a Fanuc control. It is not a true 5 axis. It's a 3+2 indexer. Here is a link to give you an idea. http://www.beere.com/html/rotary_multidex.html Will pay cash for a "working"...
