Hi all,
Been using the mill simulation with pretty good results. Trying to use it now for lathe, even when I'm quoting. Had not really tried the sim for lathe before now as I just know the programs I make will work. But doing a job now, and trying to use it to quote.
Problem 1: Massive collisions with turret when I'm deep drilling. Don't see anywhere to define tool lengths, machine type/setup/etc. I see where I can load a new machine, but the create machine, edit machine, etc are grayed out and I can't use. Any ideas?
Problem 2: Times are ridiculous. It's telling me a simple turn and drill of a 3" long part will be 4 hours 34 minutes when I know it's about a 5 minute turn. Don't see anything to fix that either.
Problem 3: As it is doing a turn, it leaves a ghost image of where stock diameter and length started. That's also what is colliding with turret/holder. As it collides it keeps making part shorter and shorter, not giving me true picture of finished part.
Safe to say V25 Sim for lathe not quite finished yet or? Just need a direction to look in for help :D
