    Re: Is Surfcam Traditional still viable?

    Short answer is no...you're not missing anything by staying with your current version of Surfcam (unless you like multiple PC crashes per day).

    However I'm not sure how Surfcam handled chamfering...

    That letter looks really familiar. Hexagon told us that the comparable modules and software were a free upgrade but this is what we got. 428966428968

    Everything is through Hexagon now. The resellers are gone(they were ripping people off anyway). We recently upgraded one of our seats to 2020. A Hexagon rep came in and asked why all the programmers...

    Re: Why i love Surfcam

    We had Hexagon come in today to show us the improvements from our current 2015 R2 version to the 2019 version. We dropped maintenance in 2016. 2 of our programmers started using a new software that...

    Re: 2014 R1 SpaceMouse compatibility?

    2015 R2 works with my space mouse (I know you're asking about 2014 R1 but I doubt there is any difference). I do remember having to restart everything the first time to get Surfcam to recognize it....

    Re: 2 AXIS WAVEFORM

    I haven't used Surfcam since 2016R1 but from what I remember Waveform(Pocket Rough) wasn't all that efficient unless it was a round pocket. All the feed between moves were at the same feed rate as...

    Re: Jerking me around

    Sounds like your 4th & 5th axis brakes aren't being controlled properly. M10 = 4th axis brake engage, M11 = 4th axis brake disengage, M12 = 5th axis brake engage, M13 = 5th axis brake disengage.

    As long as you still have your CLS license file saved somewhere you can put it on any computer you want. Run the file and plug your USB dongle in and keep working.

    Re: Received Blackmail Letter from Vero Today.

    I wonder when I'll get my e-mail......For some reason I doubt I ever will. I don't see them taking something you've paid for. Doesn't really matter....we've moved on already.

    Surfcam uses the same fonts as windows. Just Google

    Disengage your 4th axis brake. It may be engaging and disengaging in between moves.

  25. Re: Engraving using Radial live tool programming issues!

    It probably has more to do with the resolution of the text. You could add an M15 to make sure the main spindle brake stays off.
