Yes, if you agree to keep this file and any information in it confidential.

When I get in to my office tomorrow morning I will send you the original IGES file if you agree to the above.

According to Mastercam they are arcs. Happy to send you the file. I think it's a bug in the Mask On Arc command.

Analyze-Entity Properties. Arc Properties appears at the top of the dialog box.
I think it's a bug with Mask On Arc. Want the file to see for yourself?

Stefan,

Create-Curves-On All Edges worked perfectly! :) Thank you very much.

Any idea why Mastercam requires this on an imported IGES file to get Mask On Arc to work? I already had all the...

I've got a file where Mask On Arc won't work and I'd like to know why. The file is an imported Pro/E IGES file. I'd be happy to e-mail the X2 file if someone wants to try and figure out why Mask On...

So what you suggest is a combination of Mike Mattera's toolpath surfacing CD that you sell and your own surface creation CD?

What happens if you try to use Contour tool path and use the Window Selection Button in the Chaining Dialog Box? Will it chain all the bricks?

Appears that By Tool is going to make more sense than By Material. I guess I then will have to create a separate tool library for each different material we cut which seems like a lot of work. How...

I edit a tool and turn the flood coolant on. I then save it to the Library. When I add the edited tool no more error.

Jay, that check box is NOT checked.

Thanks. That works. Do you know if there is a way for a user to export the tool data to an Excel spreadsheet for mass editing? Fixing this tool by tool is going to be a time consuming chore.

File doesn't work with Mastercam Verify I would appreciate if you would try to use the STL healing tool in Predator. I've got time this weekend to test whatever you come up with. Sorry it took me so...

Anyone have any ideas where to look to see what is causing this problem? Where not about to stop using the Mastercam Tool Manager and start using a template file.

Jay, no it's not set like that. The check box is not checked for: Use tool's step, peck, coolant. Stefan and Jay, is there a setting that is causing this error message to occur in the Coolant...

I keep getting an error message dialog box in regards to the tools coolant not being compatible or something like that when adding tools to my program from the tool manager. The error dialog box says...

It's a shame that we don't read more comparisons of Mastercam X2 to UG NX CAM. I think it would be very helpful to know what areas UG NX CAM has it all over Mastercam. From what I can tell UG NX...

I must be missing something. I see a video CD for X2 for creating basic surfaces. I see no video CD for X2 on surfacing toolpath. I have no issue with two CD's. What I have an issue with is that I...

Toby, I have been very busy at work. I'll try your .STL this weekend and let you know if it works Thanks for you patience.

I see this as needing to be a package with a surfacing toolpath video. I'd start crying bitter tears if I created these surfaces and then couldn't machine them. :)

Featurecam has a template (start, tool change, end, etc.) post constructor that's very easy for almost anyone to use. You still need to understand basic programming constructs and it's most likely...

I'd like to read a detailed comparison between Mastercam X2 MR2 and UG CAM from someone intimately familiar with both. The argument that I most often read is UG CAM is too hard to use for simple...

Okay, I'll check the new file you sent me, Toby. I appreciate your follow up. I hope you appreciate that this is a Mastercam forum not a Bobcad forum. You couldn't pay me enough to use their crap or...

Don't know what the "waterfall effect" is, Jay. Mastercam X2 MR2 Verify rejects the STL and makes it a block. Something about it won't heal or has failed. I posted the exact failure message in the...

Toby, you sent me a file of a foot. This was not the file I sent you. You somehow mixed up the files.

You have got the wrong file. The IGES file I sent you is only 600kb.

I e-mailed you the IGES file that I can't use with Mastercam X2 MR2 Verify. I can save the file as an. STL but when I try to use it in Verify I get a notice that it has failed.

You want me to be honest, right? :) I didn't get anything out of this video probably because the problem I have is only when I have to add operations to an already machined part. What you do in the...

The first one was excellent and I learned a lot from it. Can't wait to see what else you wish to cover!

I found this video very helpful and learned a lot from it. Thanks!

Do you believe, like I believe, that a great Mastercam training video transcends the product (Mastercam) and at its core is really teaching-sharing good machining methods?
