Enter degrees, minutes & seconds

[Die Sinker]

Hi All-

A few months ago, there was a topic on entering angles as degrees-minutes-seconds, not as decimals. There were symbols that were used and MasterCam converted these automatically as decimals. Does anybody remember this topic? I've forgotten how to do it.

Are we talking about when you Dam a part?

Jay- I'm talking about when you are drawing a line, setting rotation angle, etc. and you have to enter an angle value. I know you can enter as degree-minute-second as opposed to a decimal equivalent-symbols are used and the angle is converted to decimal.

Thanks for the help, Gary

Jay- Found the answer to my own question! d for degree- ' for minute- " for seconds- i.e. 15d, 23', 45". The angle is then coverted automatically to a decimal equivalent. Gary

Gary are you talking to me or your self?

glad i could help. ( i guess)

Jay- I guess it helps to talk about a question and then something clicks. Yesterday I was trying to show one of our young NC guys how to enter d-m-s as a value and the old brain went dead. I guess it helps to use the help files in MCam, but that too EASY. I talked to you at the MC seminar at the Sportsman's Lodge a few months ago about Predator as a verifier for NC code. Gary

In Mastercam 2022 you omit the commas- i.e     15d23'45"   , which MC 2022 converts to the decimal, 15.39583 Deg
