So basically, I'm creating a new plane viewsheet for my Op 2 on the other side. But the gnome in the bottom left corner does not correlate with my new plane? What am I doing wrong? Using Mastercam 2023

I always use profile it runs faster. For that use contour ramp. It's going to take forever to dynamic that -
Thank you. I don't think I have that option in x7

it's works thanks a lot best regard

I think I am more curious as to how you're using a .750" endmill to helix into a .500" slot. Sharing a file ALWAYS helps people help you -

Greetings, try this fmt "P" 4 mi9$ fmt "F" 4 mi10$ Format statements are required for what you need number 4 represents the format statement which you are using. they are set in your post. Kind regards Ivan.

I think it "sees" material on the other side of the tool. -
I'm not sure you can any longer. The training versions timeout after so long, about 18 months. If that's changed, someone will chime in and correct me.

thank you in house -
You could ask your SolidWorks folks to color code the holes, and then turn off "use system color for imported solids" in your config converters tab, just below where you turned on import SolidWorks history. Or, if they are modeling to the minor diameter, ask for a convention that all tapped holes get a chamfer to the major diameter. I've seen both work as long as everybody is on board, from engineering to shop. Do you use the point sort in points manager?

the small dia high feed mills are quite expensive, so if you're trying to slot a shallow groove with them it's possible it could not be the best choice. They really, truly shine at 5x diameter and longer stickouts/reach. I used a helical .125 high feed mill to rough a .14 wide, 1.2ish diameter groove. .125 high feed mill was something like 8-10krpm @ 100inches per minute, all the way to over 1.0" deep. (with no TSC) The ramp angle of course was very light something like .003-.005 depth per rev but I got through the whole batch of 316 stainless parts without changing that tool. So even if it takes longer, or is a bit costlier,.. I'll take the reliability all day--(and now on a matsuura, into the night)

Hey guys! I was hoping for some insight on this issue I'm having in my mill turn environment. I'm working on a Doosan SMX2100ST and I'm doing work on the sub-spindle. I've created my jaws the way I always have and when I use them working on the sub-spindle they show up open to a really large diameter in Sync Manager, but they're ok in the Mastercam file. Has this happened to anyone? If so, how did you correct it? Already spoke to our reseller and they mentioned that it also happens on their end. Any and all info is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I try to output 2 misc value directly on the line i'coded this pscool,"P",mi9$,"F",mi10$,e$ the result is this M07 P mi9$ 22. F mi10$ 33. for why MI9$ and mi10$ stay. i'm want M07 P22. F33. I'm sure is not too complicated but i'm don't find Thanks for the help.

When importing a file from SolidWorks, is there a way to differentiate between tapped holes and regular drill holes of the same diameter? As it is now, these holes are grouped together, and when machining, there is no way to differentiate, except by going back and referencing the drawing. However, my company produces a high volume of parts, so this slows down production considerably. We tried importing the SolidWorks part history, so on Mastercam, you could see which holes are what, but it doesn't allow you to import files with linear pattern, and other necessary features for us, and even still, it wouldn't group the like holes in a convenient way to be machined. Is there any solution to this problem?

Looks like ptlchg0$ in your post doesn't take that situation into consideration currently. If you can handle a Z home retract for individual tool path transforms, just check force tool change for now until IHS can sort you out. -
Motion between Entry Motion and Dynamic Mill
Pgreenlaw replied to Metals and materials's topic in Industrial Forum
Sorry to bump an old thread..... But I encountered issues today with programming a helix entry for dynamic mill. Using a .750 endmill and helixing into a .500 wide slot. I chose a helix radius of .475 (to remove more material as it was ramping down) and it was trying to conventional mill in the helix and switch to climb for roughing. For some reason, anything over 50% of the tool diameter for helix radius changes the helix from climb to conventional. I am curious why MC would do this?? -
Also, the link I posted here will work for anyone with access to the customer forum, but in the thread there is a post about "my voice" page that not everyone has access to.

I think he means containment boundaries, like the red and green outlines in his first response. And that is probably a simpler solution than my suggestion to create a surface plane underneath the part. Also since your part is flat on the bottom edge, his suggestion to use depth limits would be simpler as well. I looked at your file again. Flowline fails because the UV flow does not align. I am not sure you can swap them in X7, but if you can swap UV and/or re-flow to get them to align, it might work. Not reversing the normal, that is just the vector for which side of the surface is 'up', and that looks to be correct.

XForming Exactly 1 Toolpath - Not Posting Datums
SuperHoneyBadger posted a topic in Industrial Forum
Disclaimers: Heidenhain 3+2 Post, MC2024, Z2G posted, I don't have multi-axis. Making a square based pyramid part, features removed in the Z2G. Programming a toolpath on 1 face, then XForm it to the other 3 faces to match. Verify is good, machsim is good, backplot is good. I'm happy there. Problem arises when I post them though, I get rotation calls but no datum calls (CYCLE DEF 247) when I transform exactly 1 toolpath with XForm. If I add 2 or more, each datum call is added before the rotations. My planes are all setup nicely for how this machine runs, Datum1 = top/top/top, Datumx = top/planex/planex I'm thinking I have to setup the XForm ops differently with a single toolpath vs multiple, but I'm not sure. I'll have to call IHS on Monday if I still can't figure it out. I need to make chips next week for sure. PYRAMID-XFORM.MCAM-CONTENT -
I don't have a pickoff program handy at the moment, but here is a screen shot of how we sync the part transfer process. Notice the alternative blue syncs we use during the stock transfer process. The blue syncs act like traditional wait codes more or less, while the red syncs are a flag to create the sub programs in the structured program.
