Hej,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you :)
That's the downside of free support I guess. Anyways, I think your files are in WF and Ionly have wf3 installed. Gonna try out wf4 anyways so I...

Hej,

There are 3 additional things you need to consider:

1. Make sure there are no Geom Checks in your reference part. In part mode go to Info / Geometry Checks. There should be none. If there...

Hej Bart,

I think I'm gonna need to take a look at the mfg to answer your question here. Would you be able to attach the files as a zip here? I'll be out of office monday/tuesday but can look at...

Hej Bart,

Well, as you said you choose how many axises your machine has in the Operation setup. When choosing a NC Sequence you are left to specify how many axis to use for that specific sequence....

Hej Arjan,

The postprocessors that come with ProE are all cusomizable, thats the whole point of them. They are basically there to provide a foundation for you to modify them to fit your own...

In the Seq Setup you go to Check Srfs, which basically tells ProE to avoid certain surfaces which you define in there. If there are surfaces present to choose do so, if not define some of your own....

I wouldn't mind at all if you told me just how beutiful a build that is, and how impressed you are :)
Seeing as you're familiar with slopes and so forth...

/J

Yes, you're supposed to be able to do that if you use Screen Play. Did you try to repaint the screen after rotating?
If that doesn't work it's probably a gfx card thingy, put it sounds really...

come to think of it, I have used 3rd party softwares to have certain windows "always on top", and I've noticed that they also have the option to be "always in the background". Whether this work with...

ckirchen,

First (and second, and third, etc) rule of Pro/NC is to never maximize any window nor move them around.
They are designed to not be moved around, and having them where they appear will...

Hej Garth,

so cool you're flying slopers. While I don't (yet) I'm helping a friend build one, and he's quite an authority in that field.
I'm just helping him with molds and nc programming.
And...

Joe,

I just noticed why you won't get a material removal simulation. Don't know why I didn't see that before.....

You haven't defined a workpiece. You will get a material removal simulation...

Where to find the Vericut install option.
Note that you need to install from CD to get it installed. Running ptcsetup.bat will only show you that it is not installed right now.

Joe,

Lets just try with a Pro/NC file of mine.
Just run NCCheck on one of the sequences and let me know if it looks allright.

pwd in pm,

/Jonas

eeerh, come to think of it I'm not really a 100% certain that Vericut is default to be installed when installing ProE. Check that under options when installing, I.e. run ptcsetup.bat. Let me know if...

Hej Joe,

Seems strange. It's like you don't have a workpiece defined. Which you do have right?
Have you used any Material Removal features?
Would you consider sending me the files, or something...

Bart,
np, glad to help.
About the merge function, it can be used for various tasks. What comes to mind as I'm writing this is to simplify an assembly into 1 single part, for analysis or similar. In...

Sure would!
ProE is set, default I think, to minimize external dependencies. I guess this is due to the fact that too many references back and forth might make your head spin. However, it's...

ok, for this time I will cut&paste from ptc.com, but since I doubt they appreciate that it's this time only.

Hej Bart,

If you have a legit copy of ProE and especially a maintenance agreement you can find this info at ptc knowledgebase here:...

Hej Joe,

quite the contrary, it's the best program for just about everything (CAM related at least) :)
Just havent been in here for a while.

1. When you choose 'Play Path' from within the NC...

Hej BartL,

You'll need to use a trajectory sequence in which you use a sketched tool.
Just look up sketeched tool in the help and you'll see how to use it.
The thing to remember is to place a...

Hej,

I get a little confused when you say workpiece geometry. Probably you are using the correct way to do it but it's called 'Mfg Geometry' in Pro/NC. This way any 'dummy' or 'help' geometry is...

hej,

well you can do it in a number of ways:

1. Put in a value in the AXIS_SHIFT parameter of the NCSequence. + is away from spindle. This will offset your entire toolpath by this amount. Of...

Hej,

I'm building my cnc from scratch and was thinking to go with steppers, but recently I got hold of a few ACOPOS 1045 (B&R) from my work, together with some B&R servomotors. Naturally I'm...

So I'm planning my cnc like so many others here, and just before Christmas I ordered a few G203 from them.
Since me being abroad from the US they where to ship my stuff with the cheapest shipping...

Hej DSE,

Nice of you to post some tutorials. I'm in the works of producing some more advanced tutorials myself, with focus on multiaxis machining. They are still a bit from being released though....

Hej,

I did a small mfg file for you in wf2.
I didnt see no reason for using 5axis, so it's only 4.
There are a few diferent examples of NC Sequences for you that I named accordingly.

The...

hej,

If you have a valid maintenance agreement with PTC you can download alot of postprocessors from their website. I think I recall there are a few that would suite your needs.
They can be found...

Hej,

If you havent found any software for this, you can PM me and I can convert them for you.
