Unlock Tool Forum

[Jacquelyne Betance]

Hiteam,

there is a great tool called Float which allows granularity when it comes to resource management. We love Monday.com, but when it comes to serious resource management, we have to have a different tool. Our management feels the float gives more capability/visibility. Is there anything on a pipeline to provide this level of resource management? Or, maybe, someone can develop an app?

I completely agree, as the Workload widget and the constraints of the number of boards that can be linked are too limiting. Resource capacity planning is key when you have a large team and you are looking at different scenarios for the project teams workload.

@PolishedGeek you know what, I had lost that link/resource. thank you for reminding me. I have installed that and it is working well for the resource management side of things on some of my test boards.

Hey @timlittletech - there are a few creative ways to make this work. What we have done in the past is utilize subitems (I know, I know) attached to a project master board to set estimates per resource on a project (this gives you a nice pipeline view) then utilizer the actuals from the project boards that are summarized up to a master board. It isnt perfect but it gives you both the the estimates and the actuals in a single view.

Hey @timlittletech

We have built a few solutions based off estimated hours by project and also in depth calculations based off timelines + utilization % to enable the workload and timeline views in some pretty cool ways.

Use this forum to discuss tools that you need to fill gaps in your sets or collections. If you find the "Missing Link" here, deal directly with the other member by PM or Email, or move it to Buying, Selling, Trading. No sales in this forum.

In order for the Masso to do this, you need to save several files together in a single file. If you are using V-Carve for example, you need a different tool number for each tool in the tools list. Also set the Masso up with tools definitions, page F4 that match your vectric list. Once you load a program and press cycle start, it should position your milling motor over the tool changer (if that is properly set up) and direct you to change to tool specified in both softwares. Once the tool is loaded, press cycle start and it will measure the Z and start the spindle and head to the work position automatically.

Under normal circumstances, why not use MDI to issue the tool change before you change it? Then, Masso will move to the tool change location and ask you to change the tool. You press cycle-start after changing it, and it measures the offset against the tool setter.

The tool is not changed until an M6 is programmed (see Section M6). The T word may appear on the same line as the M6 or on a previous line. It is OK if T words appear on two or more lines with no tool change. Only the the most recent T word will take effect at the next tool change.

But when I go into the Notifications tool to subscribe to a conversation's transcription Topic, I am unable to use the notification tool to test this, even though the topic is supported in WebSocket form (or at least the documentation says it is). Is this an issue with the documentation or should I be able to test this functionality within the Notification Tools?

My other comment would be that each topic is supposed to have the color classification for what type of Event processing it supports (WebSocket, EventBridge or Process Automation). A topic like this, doesn't have those colors. As I've been looking for the right topics, this filter has caused more confusion than help as I've tried to understand where I can get those messages from, because the color filter does not seem to properly work. notice on the one below, it specifies two Transports, but there is no color associated with it.

This has become a major PIA. I spend hours trying to figure out what is wrong with custom tool geometry, because Mcam gives absolutely no hint at all. I need to model the tools because of extremely tight interference checking. The geometry for tools I use are automatically generated on the website of Sandvik or Iscar and saved as DXF. I remove all unnecessary layers, create the profile using CUT/NOCUT and "shank" layers, check for overlapping entities, select the profile using chain selection and copy the chain on its own level. An example is attached.

Still, I can't create custom tool profile. ONLY by removing the two elements that are colored red in the Mastercam file, and replacing the upper element with a perfectly horizontal line and replacing the lower NURBS with a straight line, it started to work.

Also make sure you only have lines and arcs no splines. Use the Analyze Chain function. Move entities to a different level is something I do to make sure nothing is blanked. I also will make sure to project everything to Z Zero.

I am able to revolve the profile without problem. The issue here seems to be that the chaining tolerance in custom tool creation is different to that in chaining tolerance in settings. The small red horizontal line doesn't fully coincide with the endpoint of the adjoining line (there's 0.0009mm difference). By adjusting "System tolerance" to 0.001 I was able to overcome the problem so it must be set to a looser value when creating custom tools from automated 2D geometry.

You're right. Better option would be to set chaining tolerance to a tighter value, select the geometry with chain option and find the discontinuities. However if there are a lot of them and changing system tolerance works, then I don't waste my time trimming hundreds of entities by hand. Of course it's then important to restore the system tolerance to its original value when done.

it worked fine at first but then i started to have all kinds of tool change problems. so i went through all my docks and straightened them i also put a flat edge on the front to make sure all 5 were in a decent alignment with each other.

Today I faced the same problem - also with extruder 4. Thanks for the solution to it. In addition to just torquing the screws I also ran a calibration as the tool change for extruder 4 still run into an issue. Now the printer is up and running again.

It happens even with very small areas. By the way, the show for selected pins or show for all pins does not work neither. Adding pins in the image and selecting those options does not create the static graph that is suppose to appear.

In this image, the pin is located in the image and selected. Any of the two options to show the graph at the pin location works. The line you can see is just the grap at the mouse position when I took the screenshot

Right after adding the input images to the tool, I use the filter button to select the band that I want to use to show the temporal profile. Afterwards, checking it again only opens the pop-up window to select another band. + If I try to define a ROI, SNAP freezes so no chance to check it again. Not sure I am getting your point.

I have the same problem discussed here. Sometimes the time series works well - graph shows both mouse cursor and pins (I was able to get also ROI only couple of times). But sometimes is just stops working and the only thing I get is mouse cursor. I do not see that this discussion came to a solution, did it?
