Manufacturing (CAM)

Has anyone set-up multiple CAD Workers on the same machine? PTCs documentation says it can be done on the same machine with the same port number, but we can't get it to work?Any help?Thank you,LanceThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

We recently updated from Creo 2.0 to Creo 3.0 M020. We are seeing odd behavior using profile milling, specifically when multiple discrete surfaces are selected in the same profile sequence. The motions between surfaces (regions) are not output as rapids. This was fine in Creo 1 and 2. Any known changes to this? Any work around?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Is anyone else all of a sudden having problems with using volume rough in Creo 3.0 M010? I'm doing things the same way I always have and for some reason its giving me fits. If I use a Mill Volume it won't create a toolpath. If I use a Mill Window it will but then when I go to do a Local Milling (Previous Step) it wont create a toolpath. It's nothing that I haven't done before so I'm not sure what is happening. I got a Roughing toolpath to work how I liked it but then trying to do a Re-Rough it gives me slices I don't want and I can't find a way to remove them. It's actually cutting surfaces that are above my Mill Window. Thanks in advance.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

upgraded to Creo3.0 and everthing is wonderful!! except the way I finish pockets doesn't work any longer. What I Used to do was make a finish pass on the pocket walls using a mill window or a mill volume with the parameters set to profile only follow hard walls with a leadin and leadout and cutter comp on so the operator could adjust the pocket size.I would then finish the floor of the pocket using the parameters set to spiral and faces only with a wall stock of some value to keep the cutter off the wall.Since upgrading to Creo3.0 M010 if you put a stock value in the prof_stock_allow it gives me the good old "toolpath could not be created please check the set up" message. If there is no stock it works but the tool is right against the wall. Not what I want. The work around is to use the parameters spiral and rough only and set the step depth so it makes one pass at the bottom then the stock allowance works fine.but If you have a pocket with multiple depths or floors the faces only was

Pro Engineer users,My colleagues and I have been having troubles with the CL Data on our Pro Engineer WF1 code output. As you can see in the example below, when WF1 creates the data it adds a GOTO point with the rapid. We don't know how it got there because only a couple programmers have this problem, not all of them. How can we remove this G01 move from Pro E? Any ideas are welcome.Example:N8 M8$1 20>RAPID 21>GOTO /.5312,.2625,.5 N9 G00 G01 G43 X.5312 Y.2625 Z.5 H5$ 22>RAPID 23>GOTO /.5312,.2625,.125 N10 Z.125$The red is what we want to remove.Thank you,Brian

I'm stuck using Wildfire 4 and I'm finding that the Mfg side of Pro/E|Creo is an exercise is frustration.All I want to do is mill several bores with Helical toolpaths and that option isn't directly availablein a Trajectory sequence.The help file is about as useful as screen doors on a submarine.This is a basic production type tool path and I'm finding I have a Rube Goldberg mazeto get through to produce something that should be intuitive.Facemilling with only 90 degree corners available is another pet peeve.Don't get me going on how weak the Lathe portion is.It's as if no one at PTC has ever set foot in a machine shop.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am a High School teacher and use Creo 2.0 to teach Design. I am trained in architecture so bear with me. I am also the lead mentor for our FIRST robotics team. We have an AXYZ Millenium (2005) CNC Router. The computer driving it went blue screen. We are replacing the computer with a Win 7-64 machine. I wish to use the Router table to make parts (sheet and tube cutting) from plastic and aluminum for our robot. We have done this in the past with software called Toolpath with 2D cutting. The workflow was very convoluted, i.e. Creo>Solidworks>DXF>Toolpath. The .dxf from Creo didn't work with Toolpath 2005 on an XP machine (RIP).How do I drive the router from Creo? We have a Commander SE 2D200220 controller on the router table. Also circa 2005.The CNC Router table has about 5 inches of z height so it can do 3D machining. Any advice would be appreciated.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team. If you would like to provide a reply and re-open this th

Hello I've got to machine a box type component about 300 x 200 x 150 size with a wall thickness of 4mm. On one wall there is a recess on the inside of 1mm. I wasn't sure what type of cutter to use was thinking of a woodruff type but not sure about the finish it would leave.Any ideas of the best way?Thanks in advance MickThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I have customized our table of threaded hole sizes for the machining module in order to customize the way threaded holes are called out in Annotation. Currently I have just UNF, UNC, and metric sizes. I now need to add NPT (national pipe thread) and BSP (british standard pipe thread) sizes to our table. Does anyone have the table for these thread sizes for me to add to my customization file? These may be in the out of the box machining module however I can't seem to find the default table of thread sizes for the module.   Thanks for your help.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Dear all,I was asked to design molds(attached below) for a car roof box(made by someone else) in proE 5 or creo.My teacher sent this to help me but it didnt...Mold Design and Casting lets you simulate the mold design process, design die assemblies and components, and prepare castings for manufacturing.Use the Mold Design and Casting area of Help to learn about creating, modifying, and analyzing mold components or assemblies. Mold Design and Casting Help shows you how to quickly update mold components to the changes in the design model or to design die assemblies and components and prepare castings for manufacturing. You will learn how to create and modify design parts, cavities, mold layouts, and drawings.However my teachers assistant told me that they are very simple, however he didnt know what is needed to add...should i add or fix something?Thanks and sorry for my english.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi all,I can't find any way to modelize an open belt.I would like to do so to simulate an echain carrying cables on my machine.I tried to do it with relations but this would work only after regenerating and would not move on the fly as I move the other moving components I defined with MDX.Any solution ?Thank you EricThis thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Hi All,Today's question is this:I need to cut (machine) a goorve about the circumfernce of a round part, a cylinder. It's a zig-zag cut, that repeats twice around the part. The width of the cut needs to be constant, as well as the depth. The inner points of the zig zag need to be sharp. Ideally, I envision the part being chucked in a lathe, then the end mill would drop down & cut the groove.The attemp shown is done with the graph sweep path, but the feature that sweeps remains constant to the part axis, it's not 'normal' to the intended cutting path, which is what I'm after. I'm assuming there is a simple way to 1) make the path I want to cut along (Assumign the graph path I created above), and 2) then sweep a solid feature (the end mill / a cylindrical shape) along the path to remove the material. this feature wodu be tangent to the surface of the cylinder..Any ideas?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
