X2 Coolant blues

[machtek]

I am having problems converting v9 posts over to x2. I have finally started converting them to X first then to X2 with good results on most.

 

The problem I currently have is I can't get X2 to post "m8" to save my mastercam certificaiton. Does anyone have a clue? I did a search and found JP suggested turning on v9 coolant in machine general settings. I couldn't find a v9 reference anywhere.

Support coolant using coolant value in post processor(provides backward compatibility for older posts)

 

 

It's under general machine parameters on the coolant tab

Ok, after banging my head on the wall a few times I discovered:

 

if I check: Support coolant using coolant value in post processor(provides backward compatibility for older posts)

then save the definition, then change the coolant value in the operation then save the mcam file then post, voila it works.

 

Thanks John

and if you changed your global copy, it should work from now on with any new ops.

 

if you have files that give you trouble you will only have to reload your machine def and you should then get the new settings
