oh man.. thats sh**t:violin:

I had the same problrem i v.11.75 and 12.0, the job images disapered... but they was not deletet, i could get them back by doing the following:
Open Toolstore and select a job (that containes job...

been using it fore some time now... It`s ok, still some small buggs, like toolpaths disapering when using matrix mode (can be fixed by re-generating vectors), and no wireframe when moving solids with...

In part enviorement? if so you just make a new coordinate (there is a tool fore that on the features toolbar), here you can key in the x,y and z values or use geometry from other parts.

When you...

i see... usualy fore engraving i will use my CAM program to add the Text. Then you can use the "lines". I don`t think you can get SE to show anything else but the solid when exporting it to CAM.
...

the easyest way to do this is to make an sketch that contains the text (use the insert text menu in the sktech environment) you want, above the surface you want the text on. (see image #1...

This is not supported in VS+, meaning that you only will se the textured surfaces in the Part\ Assambely modes.. If you try to render it in VS+ you will end up with an plane and solide coloure the...

one more thing... i don`t thik this is supportet in VS+....

Oki... this is not my strongest side of SE use... but i can make something close to that...

You can do this in the part enviorement.
Make shure that you got the textures show option turned on. (...

Why don`t you try out Batch Mode, this will let you to work on the sequens without any generating of toolpaths.. when you want to generate toolpaths you just turn Batch Mode off... you can go do...

Batch Mode will let you to applay all cycles, opperations and so on, but as long as you have Batch Mode active EC will not generate toolpaths. As soon you turn off Batch Mode EC will start to...

if the parts are spaced equally then you may want to check out the Matrix Mode, if you aint familiuar with the matrix mode then do a search in the help menu.

:)

juat a littel tip,
if you have a big sequens going on and find out that you need to do some small changes i the middel of the sequens you vil end up with EC regenerating the whole sequens......

Sorry, my english is baaaad and i`m realy tired so i`m typing this in Norwgian... :P

Om maskinen din er forberett fra fabrikken til å bruke rigid tapping så skal det gå greit... det som er viktig...

this is the machine i`m working in, it has 7 axis and can runn 5 axis at the same time.. but the swivel hed on the machine anet made for 5 axis machining, but it can be canged to one that is... but...

Nice stuff... but why don`t you add some chamfers at all the sharp edges...? It would make them look wery good....

And btw. a 2 flute works best in alu. :banana:

here are some pics ( 3D solids) that I made using Solide Edge... and I made the parts in aluminum in an DAHLIH MCV-510 with Fanuc series 0-M control.... but i made the program using EdgeCam...

I tested the part modeler demo by EdgeCam.... it stinks... lol
I`m now using Solide Edge (unigraphics solutions Inc) an it is very easy to use.. making 3D solids fast and easy... and you can convert...

The machine is an Anayak VH-PLUS 3000 with Heidenhain TNC 430M controll...
the machine was new in 2001 and have a tool magazine fore 100 tools and it is one of many machines at "Krisiansand...

lol.... :banana:

The name on the man in the picture is Kjell.... hehe...
wonder about what I vill look like when I start using the new 7- axis machine in a few months...

Losing all my hair...
