no core wire

[mnJeffs]

when I try to do a no core. this is the message I get. 'pocket(stanard)' not found in your operation defaults file C:mcamxwireopswire_inch.defaults.

 

I know there is one there i have altered the settings in it.

 

Plus it does not make a good program. tries to thread wire out in space then feed back into hole center be fore pocketing.

 

Any ideas?

1> What is the exact version of Wire you are running?

 

2> If I have a NoCore (aka Pocket) operation in the Defaults file I'm using I do not get any error.

Expand the Properties in the the Machine Group of the wirepath.

Select the Files branch and click on the Edit '!' button in the Machine - Toolpath Copy groupbox.

The Machine Definition Manager opens and then click on the Control Definition icon (the middle one).

Second to last item in the list is "Operation Defaults".

Click it and check the Wire Operation Defaults.

 

3> Where is your Thread Point defined?

If it is outside the "pocket", what you describe will happen or if you do not include a Thead Point in the chained geometry, the system will default to 0,0 for the thread position.
