Problem with drilling cycles posting F0.

[5 AX]

When I use version X to open up my version 9.1 files the drilling cycles post fine. When I regenerate the operation it then outputs a F0. after every new hole location!

Here is a copy of the problem. Line 8.

 

N2 T12 M06 ( 1/8 SPOTDRILL G110870)

N3 (MAX - Z.1)

N4 (MIN - Z-.021)

N5 G00 G90 X.1171 Y.1229 S12000 M03

N6 G43 H12 Z.1 M08

N7 G99 G81 Z-.021 R.1 F10.

N8 X.6001 F0.

N9 G80 M09

N10 M05

N11 G91 G28 Z0.

 

 

What the heck would be causing this??? It happens regardless of the post I use, or the seat of mastercam. My reseller has not been able to help so far. Does anyone else have this problem?

This bug has been noted and is supposed to be fixed in MR2.

Thanks John.

It certainly appeares to be a bug but my reseller was not saying that was the issue. That is why I posted the issue here. I feel better knowing I am not the only one with this problem.

Thanks again.

Well,

 

Not fixed, I just posted a job in MR2, operator comes in and says "Hey, I got F0.'s in this program"

 

 

Sent it off to QC.

John,

Did you give the drill a feed rate in it's parameters?

[Camdude®]

5ax,

not to insult or anything but did you check to make sure you have a feed in the plunge and retract move. this was an issue in the past where

the plunge or the retract was set to zero and rapid retract wasn;t set on the second page.

I'm still having a problem!!!

 

Any body else???

MR2?

did I miss something

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

X-MR2 as in the release before X2.

 

This is confusing.

 

I like the sound of Mastercam 2008. Anybody else ?

[SLJ]

Yea, I get it too when opening V9 files in X2. Open the chain box and it lists "unknown point", re-pick the points is the only way I've been able to get out of it.

I did not see any small errors fixed which we informed to QC of mastercam,

in MR1
