I rarely use the a DFX file. More so on the PT mills before I got SoldCAM. Once you get used to it you probably won't have any problems but you're right. It is slow and don't seen any upgrades ever,...

I've been using PT lathes for some time. I can try to answer what questions you have. Which model are you using?

Like I said, been there, done that. I also am a seasoned machinist since 1965. I would ask what's the big deal about all this anyway. One of the most dangerous jobs is being a truck driver. How many...

I've done it and would do it again if I had the chance. As long as there is no chance you could be injured due to a job that has that chance. If it's a no brainer like being a security guard for...

[QUOTE=bassdo;1708444]I am wanting to know what the average salary is roughly for what all I do at my company. My company refuses to give me the job title I deserve, because they do not want to pay...

Can you spell CNC?

Just kidding by the way. Greetings from the N.E.

I knew you were probably right when I opened up the box and saw the lights glowing strong. I glad you got that fixed so easily. Are you going to add a surge protector?

From what I remember the...

Just to complete this thread I finally had time to contact tech support and they got on my system and fixed the problem. I did find out that I only have HSS Express so I'm limited for now. I have to...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've been overwhelmed with work lately. I'll take a look today when I get in the shop. Right now I'm trying to visualize as I don't use the older machine...

You can't get there from here. The best you can do is do mount it in a machine after you tram in the head and use that for reference only. How do you know the 90 degree was accurate? You could use a...

Maybe you should try the SolidCAM forum. I tried several things here at work but I don't seem to have the problem.

Good luck. I'll be following this thread so if you find a solution somewhere...

I would say the quick and best solution would be to contact SolidCAM tech support. This may be more of a SolidCAM 2015 problem and if that's the case then there's probably nothing I can help you...

[QUOTE=Cityfrontsailor;1680188]I own a 1995 DMP mill. The control does not seem to be working. When I power the control from the back of the box the screen flashed and beeps but other than that...

As I mentioned this has happened to me but only once or twice. If you get this all the time how long have you been using that combination? When I get to work tomorrow I'll see if I can recreate it on...

Yes, SolidCAM 2015. What version of SOLIDWORKS are you using?

I have had that happen on occasion so I'm trying to remember what was wrong at that time. What version of SolidWorks are you using?

Try profile with step down increments. You could also try pocket for the inside then profile for a finish.

Like it says you have to have the part opened in SolidWorks first if that's what you have to CAD software. Have you tried that?

I would call tech support. They can do a GoToMeeting session and get you squared away in no time. They have helped me the two times I needed them and it was quick.

I know they paid the yearly fee as a copy of it comes to me. I guess I'll have to place a call to support as it's been about a week and no reply. I don't have any problems with the software...

Yes, I agree. This was one discussion I had with one of the engineers on Saturday when he saw first hand how poorly my system performed. He said he would do what he could to get me a new box. The...

I use SW 2014 Pro SP4 with SC 2013 SP7. I'm told the company upgrades every 2 years with SW and this is the first year with SC. I've only been employed with this firm for about 4 years and no...

I did not. I had spoken to them once in the past when I called them with a real problem and they were very helpful. If I don't get an email by the first of the week I may try calling again. I've also...

Thanks for the reply. I've been to busy to make a call so I emailed them 3 days ago but nothing yet. I also tried live chat from home but after thinking I called the cable co. waiting longer than I...

Can anyone please tell me why the HSS feature in my home install version is grayed out? I am not getting any response from tech support email and chat requests. It works on my work PC so I'm...

I'm new to this group and have been looking for posts about using SolidCAM 2013 specifically 3D iMachine on a ProtoTrak SMX. Are there any machinist here that are doing this and can offer ways to...

I would say it depends on your budget. I use ProtoTrak SMX 3 Axis mill at work and use Solidworks/SolidCAM to generate tool paths from models. You could go with BobCadCAM . Very reasonable price. I...

I use ProtoTrak SMX 3 axis mill and ProtoTrak SLX lathe and both accept G code from Solid Cam 2013.
