Thanks. Instead of rotating the hole by degree, can I locate it radially by measuring from a longditudinal line, like a quadrant line? Can I turn a quadrant point into a lengthwise hole and then locate the hoes by distance from that line?

this is one of the dumbest updates yet. Makes it harder to understand, not intuitive like top of stock or bottom of stock did, requires more clicks, double checks to make sure you selected the right additional stuff and just complicates things. Why did this change need to happen? The old selections worked fine. highest of selected and lowest of selected are not clear and easy to understand are not intuitive to the workflow.
@MechanicalAdvantageАй бұрын
@@davesvo I thought the same and then they had a meeting with me and showed me many many requests where users asked for this. I have a feeling we will see some future refinements now that users have been using it for a while. I don’t think my issue is with understanding. I don’t think that part is very difficult. I think for me it is when you have to make a drop down choice and then check and uncheck things.

How does fusion know where all the parts are and how do I program my fixture plate
@jcrackerjcrack64012 ай бұрын
Hi, I've been helping my friend mill some aluminum hubs with his Protrak. I was wondering how you ended up low on the first inspection. Was it programming or tool height error? We had to test everything multiple times, because on the KMX controll you set the Z offset on the base tool and all the others are relative to that height. Every time you turn off the machine the tools need reset 😂.

@@MechanicalAdvantage The only answer I have for this is proprietary software. I teach Fusion, Catia and Sw as well, the point is that only SW\Catia has an engineering way of treating joints.

I just wish the interface wasn't laggy AF. You click in a box select drag and it hightlights the wrong direction or is wonky or its highlighted but the mouse isn't actually in that box so you type and then there's nothing registering so you have to reselect again nearly every time you select a box. Nutty. I've never used an app this laggy. Are they logging every click? If the box highlights it should AUTO SELECT everything in the box (like every other application that's ever been made) SO if I start typing it REPLACES whats there automatically. You have to manually highlight and if you move the mouse up or down too much it flips the select direction. This is just 1 super annoying issue that has been around for 5+ years?

It doesn’t know where the other parts are located. When the code is posted, it is posted multiple times. Once for G54, once for G55, once for G56 etc. When the user sets up the machine, they have to teach each workpiece as G54, G55, G56 and so on. Then Fusion will execute the program at each of those locations.

I have a question. Whenever ever i have to put a nice chamfer along some 3d contours what i often do is to manually compensate a ball nose end mill (12mm ball nose for a 0.5mm chamfer) on every point basically via spherical coordinate s calculation given the chamfer angle and the cut path angle like literally R0=6 (tool radius) R1=45 (chmfr angle) R2=30 (path angle) G1 X=(R0*COS(R1)) Y=((R0*(COS(R1))*COS(R2))) Z=((R0*(COS(R1))*SIN(R2))) this is just the sphere comp. You need to ad the point location for every axis and ad or subtract the comp value based on what quadrant of the theorical circle you are then reduce R0 by 0.5 so the tool dive in to the part by 0.5 creating the chamfer. ALL THIS BY HAND on the machine. I have videos of it that i can upload for every one who disbelief. So my question is: is there a method in fusion for doing all this? Like a trace path but whit a ball nose one shot along 3d contours? Edit: The code i wrote is just an example I have some actual code that I can copy and paste here.
