MPMASTER(NEWB EDITED) AND FORCE TOOL CHANGE ISSUE


Recommended Posts

Same tool,  two toolpath operations...rough pkt and then finish pkt (-.090 deep)

When using force tool change I am getting tool changes at every Z level on the 2nd toolpath. So far I am getting it to post what I want except this.

 

Recently up graded to X8 and dumped the very old post. It was recommended that I start with the MPmaster post and do my own tweeks...

I may have over / under tweeked it...

 

Has any one seen this before ?

Any help is much appreciated.

I have attached the X8 file but couldn't attach the post. ???

Posted code is FTC off and then on.

 

Thanks !

Put your file up as a z2g so that someone can get the post and see what's going on inside.....

 

If you don't know how to make a z2g, consult the Mastercam Help file, there is a description in there

I switched back to the "old" post and it worked as well, BUT the 4th axis rotations were not...

I also like some of the bells and whistles in the MP post...

I am thinking I screwed something up in the post when tweeking it.
