I just uploaded another V2 work-in-progress to http://www.grzsoftware.com/v2dl.php . The changes are listed below. Sorry for the delay getting this out but...
I haven't played with it yet, but one thing that needs to change. The inch/metric dialog when you load a model. I don't need it, so, is there a way to make it...
From my poit of view I agree that the units change was not required but I can't tell you the number of people that emailed with questions about units. I don't...
... How about a don't show this again checkbox, that will permanently set it to whatever I want? ... it, ... I've mentioned this before I think. I'd prefer to...
Hello all, I've been looking at the new version in hopes of being able to eliminate all the extra tool movements over flat areas on my parts. The new version...
Hi, I am new to CNC. I was wondering if there were any meshcam docs, walkthroughs, or tutorials. I've played around with it, but I want to make sure I know...
If you look at the shortcut created in start->meshcam2 there should be pdf manual. It has quick start section, and goes on to explain some of the features. ...
Hi Robert, I have been working a lot with Meshcam the past few days, and there has been much CAD-Meshcam-Cutviewer-CAD-Meshcam-Cutviewer cycling to get my part...
Hi Robert, I have another request. Could you make the waterline finishing toolpath a different color than the X-Y toolpath? That would greatly aid in...
Robert, I too am very very impressed with your efforts, even at this stage I am able to dependably run commercial jobs. The tapered flat ended tool works...
Hi, new to Meshcam. I've created some simple parts in Solidworks. For instance, I have a rectangular part, a mere .2, and like 2in by 1 in. On the top, I have...
I created a new part, with no fillets. I put the STL file in the files section. It is called test4.stl. Using the exact same settings as the demo in the PDF,...
Good idea, I'll do that. Also, in the background I've been working on an arc fitting routine for the waterline paths that would fit the data to arc moves....
Probably you have the oversampling set very high. The zmap is determined by the stock size, the oversampling, and the stepover. What do you have for each? ...
... That's because in Solidworks the X-Y plane is "front" instead of "top". I don't know why they did it that way, but unless you draw your part sideways in...
Oversample is "none". Stepover was .01 like the demo. Switched it to .05 to make it work. ... What ... degrees. ... there ... by ... part ... hole on ... used...
... Coder090, are you sure your units settings are OK in Solidworks? When I import your test file into Meshcam and tell it units are inches, it is 50.8 x 25.4...
By the way, Robert, 1184 is working very well. I like it a lot. There are two fairly minor things I do see: 1) When I enter new stock length or width...
... That does seem to be at the boundary (max angle for parallel, min angle for waterline) and occurs on both types of finishing. If I do a parallel toolpath...
I've been using the new Meshcam for a bit, and have been having all sorts of trouble with the "machine geometry only" (MGO) feature, and waterline. If I try to...
hi Q: how can i know if the Registration code is ok it askme all the time for it tha up ialog say"Registration code validated."but in the 2te it disapir it is...
... Rhino treats text kind of different. Even 2D text can cause some problems. Before save as STL, select the text and click "Curves" then "Convert", then...
Peter, I found that defining the stock with X and Y offsets larger than tool diameter produces waterlines which go completely around raised letters. Or you...
Don & Jeff, Thanks for the help! I have been setting large X and Y offsets, but I had not tried turning off X/Y scan completely. However, when I tried it, I...
I uploaded a picture of a scrapbook cover I made for my Mother-in-law. I created the image in Autocad solids, exported as an STL file and cutout using a 1/16"...
Nice! Keep in mind that only you can see the full size version in the photos section. If you want everyone to be able to see the larger version, upload it to...
Hi all, When I set the waterline stepdown from the default .1000" to another value, exit and reenter the Generate Toolpath menu, the stepdown has reverted to...
