I have been trying to make a 3D engraving on a curved surface but SolidCAM keeps on making flat engraving toolpath. No matter how I follow the tutorial of Mr. SolidCAM professor in youtube, I can't...

Can I open a part file saved in NX 7.5.5.4 with NX 7.5.0.32 ??? How does backward limitation works with NX? Thanks!

Is this available in NX7.5?

i am talking about multiple assemblies, and my goal is to put all the latest and greatest into a new folder. thanks!

1st, let me say sorry if I am posting on the wrong thread as I did not see NX in the CAD forum. I just joined this company using NX and this is my 1st time to use NX. I have this folder that has so...

how would the machine behave is case like this?

A-345.
A-348.75
A-352.5 (CCW)
A-356.25 (CCW)
A0. (CW or CCW because of + angle??? does this need to be A-0???)
A-3.75 ...

hey Will, I wonder how your machine would react to angles like A10, A370, A730 or A-5, A-365, A-725? will it stay or will it rotate??

I understand, that is why I am wondering how he is getting 3 sides only being machined, and which side/angle is not machined?

what is the difference between A-90 and A270??

The gcode looks ok, unless you will tell me that your machine from A90 moving to the next A position (A86.25) will move CW almost full turn as both are positive angles. As what I said earlier, if the...

i can't think of any reason why someone would want to use the longest path considering optimum toolpath. i also don't see how the rotation could damage a part as you have control on how u want to...

How can -A350.0 end up at A10.0?? I think it has something to do with machine parameter, maybe. If the controller is smart enough to move to the shortest distance instead of taking the long path...

by default, the profile operation is always at left. It is recommended to use climb cut for profile operation. if you are cutting inside wall, geometry direction must be CCW. if you will be cutting...

1st, the direction of the geometry selected affects the tool position (left or right). 2nd, as explained, you can change whether the tool will be at the left or right inside the profile operation...

can you send your cam part to me? you know how to send cam part for evaluation right? right click cam part - choose send to - select folder option. it will create a zip file, send it to me.

just overwrite the files if you have a back-up of your vmid,prp, and gpp before playing around with them

what machine do you want to use? milling machines use milling postprocessor, lathes use lathe postprocessor, general rule u can't use a post that is not written for that kind of machine. u might be...

i prefer to use G52 for program translation :-)

in the misc parameter, uncheck the option approximate arcs by lines and see if it will give you more arc moves than linear.

you still can use profile for simple conical shapes or any shape as long as the top and bottom profile is the same, shapes that are tapered with top and bottom having the similar profile.

i see the issue... you don't want to have line moves and prefer to get arc moves due to controller issue.... nothing is wrong with your post processor or prp file. If your intention is just to cut...

do you mind sharing your cam part so i can take a look? you can't expect IJK if it is moving in linear (G1) so i don't see any problem with your NC file. i will need to see your cam part to see what...

i depends on what operation you are trying to verify. i think for 2D machining operations (pocketing, etc) it does not require an updated stock to run simulation. for operations like imachining or...

thanks KUWill!! i am looking for HL-2 in particular,otherwise can try anything available. my email is [email protected]

Hi guys! Anyone care to SHARE HAAS lathe post processor. Thanks!

GPX is an encrypted version of GPP, the main reason of using GPX is to make sure that the post-processor cannot be edited and can only be use to the license set in the encryption. this is one way of...

Would you share with me your pdf files? thanKs! [email protected]

Hi Vmpaso! would you share your pdf file to me? thanks! [email protected]

Hi KUWill! you have any idea how SolidCAM encode GPX from GPP? i can't send you msg, your mailbox is full. Thanks!

let me clear some confusion. what we mean by re-calculation is not about the coordinates of the g-code but the toolpath. i believe that in SolidCAM, the steps would be (1) change the wcs for the...
