So, how is Mr. Bongqueer going to fix his latest issue with MC?
[
Mastercam Reliability
I sure hope that when Mastercam X3 is released in the next few months
that it's better coded than X2 MR2. I cranked out 6 programs in
Mastercam today. Had to kill Mastercam and restart it 4 times. Shit
just stops working. Example: I'm chaining and wish to move the start
point. The move start point dialog box won't open until I kill
Mastercam X2 MR2 SP1 (latest download from CNC Software's website) and
restart.

He said he has been using MC for at least a couple of months, which in
Jon's mind makes him an expert.

MasterCAM Handbook Series of which I own all three books. Expensive...
$100 per book. Just finished Volume 1.

With Jon's track record its hard to determine if his problem is
something old or new, since he is clueless enough to keep banging his
head against a wall for months rather than look for and fix the root
cause (most likely a beginner mistake or corrupted file).
Just like when he was bragging about working on a 1/2 Million dollar
HMC with 12 pallets (miscount by JB, machine only has 11). Jon said
they couldn't get reliable G-Code out of MC and had to run the MC
generated G-Code through NC-Plot to verify the tool path and that a
quick and easy fix the MC post was not a priority. Jon doesn't work
there any longer, can't figure out why he was so proud of having a
high production machine that spent little time producing.

The beautiful thing about working with this 1/2 million dollar
horizontal machine with 12 pallets is that I spend very little time
running parts and spend the majority of my time on programming,
setting up and optimizing the program.

"Neither backplot or verify in MasterCAM check actual G code. NC Plot
checks the actual G code."-Jon Banquer-
"So what your saying is you can't program using MasterCAM or configure
its post processor to output good G-Code"-Brewertr-
"Some of our posts do need some work. Fixing them is not our shops /
the owners / my highest priority right now."-Jon Banquer-
So is going to help Mr-Jon-the-Donk-Bandqueer with clues about MC, NOW
THAT YOU BANNED HIM?
