When your running a cam system thats associative, and other people are involved you want the part to be able to update if changed. Problem is then you can't move the damn thing or the associativity gimmic is done. People design a mold then you have to deal with parts all over the place in weird planes because it was pulled out of an assembly and has to stay in that orientation. This sucks because you lose your orthagonal views. You can't hit top anymore, because now its the upside down left. Really sux. I don't see why it's like that? You can set work planes, coordinate systems, and fixture offsets, etc... but why are those views always locked in. Why can't you just hit a face and call it top, or have those views coincide with a coordinate system or work plane or datum plane or anything? Whenever I bitch about this to salesmen, they always say the same dumb shit...just save a custom view. Why should I have to? If I say using a local coordinate system a certain face is the top, and then all the numbers in the system jive with that, why doesn't the standard orthagonal views do the same? If anybody knows of a system that doesn't do this speak up, so I can bitch in a different way. I can say.."well suchandsuch system can do it, why can't yours?"I bet bobcam version 1 can prolly do it. lol

I'll keep looking for the switch, but i'm yet to find it on any system iv'e ran.

Can any cam system do this?

But he's so easy. Takes much more skill to do it to Brewer. Got to love that Optima Drill grinder. That's my boy, Tommy. You work hard for me. Good boy! ;>)

FYI its HOLDZEM=A9=AE dude. Don't f*ck up the pronunciation /annunciation proclamation I too am still waiting for your answers as previously asked. WTF gives man? Can't Understand Normal Thinking?=3D .... And so is all the rest of Ur buds here, by what I'm reading.

Are ya ready to be the West Coast HOLDZEM=A9=AE distributor? You could be a 10percenter? Better think about it. Because you sure aint doing good at this s*it.

You know, those Hurco's are almost idiot proof (I met and worked for the idiot they didn't account for), the only thing I would change is I would provide the ability to attenuate the rapid without going into the parameters and change the rapid for the whole damned program.

Friggin things are almost bulletproof, until you get a moron who thinks spindle bearings are like wheel bearings....

And thinks he can rebuuild the spindle rather than lay out $3500 for the cartridge (probably $5k now days).

And then cant understand why it eats tools.
