4TH Axis POst Help

[mwright780]

I am using the Generic Haas 4ax Post that comes with Mastercam X6, I have made some mods and its working well but one thing is stumping me.

 

Curently post like this:

%

O0( BS )

( T5 | 1/8 FLAT ENDMILL | H5 )

/ G91 G28 Z0. <--------------------------------------------*

/ G28 X0. Y0. <-------------------------------------------------I need these lines gone

/ G92 X5.164501 Y11.144155 Z8.7067681 <--------*

N1( T5 | 1/8 FLAT ENDMILL | H5 )

T5 M6

G0 G90 G54 X-1.3214 Y1.1037 A-7. S7500 M3

G43 H5 Z8.

 

I have Mastercam set properly with #2 in the Integer but it seems like its set to 0

so Im thinking its in my post. It only does it in the top of the program

 

Please Help... Thanks to all who reply

Hi,

Change your 1st Misc. Inte. value to 2.

[mwright780]

I do have it set at 2 but it acts like its set to 1 ? thats why I think its in my post somwhere causing it to ignore that

[MSL]

Make sure you have this right in your post.

Yes my post is excactly like that ??? Still cant figure this out

[MSL]

That should work!!!!

 

Make sure you go to:

 

Settings

machine def. manager

It will ask to save, say no

edit the contril def.

misc. int

[mwright780]

just checked and its set right in the macgine def, Starting to think its a mastercam issue

[mkd]

pfbld, n$, sgabsinc, *sg28, "Z0.", e$

pfbld, n$, *sg28, "X0.", "Y0.", e$

pfbld, n$, "G92", *xh$, *yh$, *zh$, e$

 

You could always hard code these lines out of the post by adding a leading "#" in the start of file section in the .PST

shouldn't need to do this; there must be a simpler explination

Thanks JP but we installed X7 today and everything is posting fine now, but I appreciate the offer of help. Still wish I knew what it was but now I'm dealing with x7 bugs...
