manual drilling cycle

[Michael Reynolds]

Hi All!

 

If I want mastercam to spit out a drilling cycle without

using a cycle (g81/83 etc), how would I do it? In other

words, I want mcam to write the program long hand cuz

I have a machine that doesn't recognize canned cycles.

 

Thanks all!

There should be a section in you post that looks like this:

 

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Enable Canned Drill Cycle Switches

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

usecandrill : yes #Use canned cycle for drill

usecanpeck : yes #Use canned cycle for Peck

usecanchip : yes #Use canned cycle for Chip Break

usecantap : yes #Use canned cycle for Tap

usecanbore1 : yes #Use canned cycle for Bore1

usecanbore2 : yes #Use canned cycle for Bore2

usecanmisc1 : yes #Use canned cycle for Misc1

usecanmisc2 : yes #Use canned cycle for Misc2

 

Change the yes to no where you want longhand drill cycles.
