from some time in the drilling operation no longer allows me to select the depth mode between calculated on the tip or on the diameter. puts the parameter icon locked.
Would someone tell me what the change to make to unlock it again?
aimè, I'm not here to help you, but rather to know how you are with the cat's cam
When I had to choose the cam, despite the use of cad, I opted for other software because nc caia seemed rather slender. But I'm talking years ago.
You okay?
That lock sounds a bit like a block from the cat's options side administrator, I only rub with the cam I don't use the holes but I'm not stuck that button.
I feel great, but as I said, I only do milling of particular pieces, our millers do mainly programming on board machine.
I feel good because it is fast and intuitive, then if you already use caty, go to wedding, if you change a piece, you also follow the cam............... you have to turn the programs but cmq the program is already done.
I believe it is the cost of the licence, nothing is cheap with catia... let alone the cam, and then you have to make someone a postprocessor reader to be used on the various tools .
talking also with other people who sell machine tools, they defined it the ferrari of the cams ....... I repeat not having used anything else I can not judge, but being part of the family catia is a good advantage.
We don't feed the cam you know. is it valid in the holes?
Ah be... on costs, let's forget, as soon as you open your mouth automatically you have to open your wallet.
I have postprocessor also x drilling, so fixed cycles............... I don't know with other cams, but if you do the matrices in the catia it recognizes and touching a hole it takes them all, if you have to make another group with the same parameters, copy paste , touch the other group and it is done, you can do a tide of things, even the starting bases with preset parameters............ and much more.
as cam use hypermill, with holes and 2d machining is great.
also with the 5assi and the classic 3d processing.
But at the time of choice, caia was a step back with the holes and so I opted for hypermill.
thanks for the info.
ps: first I was wrong to write
I wrote that "we do not pierce with the cam" instead of "we drill with the cam"
