Machine does not have programmable combinations

[connormac]

"Machine does not have programmable combination of liner/rotary axis to preform this operation." ???

 

 

Using WCS's I did front and back. But when I went to top I keep getting this error. I have done this for the past year the same way. NOW WHAT???

Just re-load your machine definition. Something got screwed up.

 

Operations manager, Machine Group Properties, Files Tab.

 

Press the "replace" button and re-select your machine group.

 

HTH,

Thanks now the file opens with an error. but it will open.

I have noticed this since MR1 SP1 came out. The work around I have found is to save the file, start a new file, then re-open the saved file and the operation will perform without getting the warning. there has been a few times that I have had to save/close/re-open the file for every toolpath.

How many axis combinations do you have in the Machine Definition? It appears to me that your toolpath is most likely looking for a rotary axis (or two for 5-axis tool paths) and is not finding what it needs in the selected axis combination.

To follow on with what Paul said, it could also be that your plane is rotated some tiny degree so that Mastercam thinks you are programming a tool with two rotated axes. If this occurs, try re-creating the plane you want to use with Planes - Rotate Planes. I always start with the Top plane or the current WCS and rotate about a single axis to get the desired planes.

Paul,

I picked front WCS set x0 y0 created pathes for that side. I then picked back WCS. Set X0 Y0, created pathes for that side. I then picked top and that is when I had the problem.

have you tried recreating the planes using geometry (lines is easy for me)?
