Mpmaster X2

[Rakesh]

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply.

I open up the MpMaster post file and could not figure out where to put these lines.

I have to read how to edit the post. My all post are customized by the ex dealer(cadwire)

To learn about the post,If anybody can guide me from where to start? Where to get all the documents?

thanks

Rakesh - your current dealer (In-House) should also be able to assist with post development, even if you posts were originally written by Cad Wire.

2 more questions re Mpmaster

 

1. I do not want the X,Y co-ordinates to repeat on each ARC line of code IF they have the same X,Y values.

This reduces program size.

The post has an option if you do not want the I,J,K forced what about the X,Y?

 

 

2.At a rotaion can I get the rotation move seperate to the Rapid moves?

Or even better the

Roation

X,Y Moves

Z move

I have "Break rapid moves-XY then Z for approach,Z then XY for retract Tick in my Control def?

Ex of Mpmaster now

[Post dept]

An updated mpmaster post has been put up on the web (for version X and X2) The change is to force the reset and output of the arc plane (G17) after G18/19 were used in previous operation.
