How do I change C-axis output for drill canned cycles?

We can’t use G81, I would like to use Drill/Pack

Thanks

Thanks Jimmy

That worked.

 

Oh one more thing Jimmy, Is there a education version of the software. I would like to own my own copy. Reason I am asking is that now I have to carry company’s dongle back and fort from work and I assume educational version would be chipper since I wouldn’t be making profit from it, instead I be using it for educational purpose. (My own).

There is an educational version, but you have to prove your a full time student or instructor to qualify. (I think thats right)

There is also a 'home study' version that is cheap money but you can't save files or post...

Lackycam,

 

Does your company have a USB style hasp(dongle), I have found since changing over to one it's alot less hassle taking it from computer to computer.

 

Plus it can go through a wash cycle, twice, and still work fine.

Hi Paul

We have USB dongle and I have mine attached to my car keys, but I also have a tree year old that likes to play with the keys and if dongle is in my laptop that red light attract his attention every time he passes by . I wish it would burn out or something. One night before going to bed I found dongle in garbage.

 

Back to Mastercam versions, I just got of the phone with my local reseller and there is educational version but only for institutions no for individuals,

And “Home study” aka Demo version if free so I order one for now
