No feed with drill cycle X

[DaveR]

I'm getting a 0 feed rate in my posted code with my drill cycles.

 

 

N14500 G81 G99 X9. Y-2.4713 Z-.4 R.1 F0.

 

 

I specified 10 ipm, 20 ipm does not matter. I can change the feed rate but the plunge rate is greyed out for the drill parameters.

 

I'm also getting a .err file the same name as my posted code when I post a program. I can't open it so I have no idea what is in there.

 

Any ideas where to look to fix this issue?

my guess is that you are picking a solid. I have the same issue. Create a point or edge curve & pick that.

 

Not much of a fix......

[DaveR]

Yes that's it. I just tried with a bunch of points in 2d, and it outputs fine. The .err file is still right there next to my g-code file though, don't know what that is from.

 

Very strange.

This is the file that gets output as a seperate file with label .err. No big deal, I just delete it but why is it being output and can I turn it off?

DaveR,

 

To limit the err files.

 

Go into

control.def>files>

go to the "posting error file" section

change keep error file "On fatal errors"

Message option "All error messages to screen"

 

Then you should only see them when something goes terribly wrong.

[DaveR]

Ah, thank you. Hopefully no fatal errors.

Having the same problem here.

Anyone figured out a fix for that, or is CNC Software working on it ?
