posting canned cycles

[Georg Fischer Piping]

Is there any settings in the operations manager so i

can post out canned cycles instead of long hand? example G71/G72

I think you can enable them through your control definition

[Chris McIntosh]

In mastercam, in the menu bar select the Settings Menu, open the Control Definition manager.

 

Ensure that the post you are using is selected from the post processor drop down.

 

Select the Machine Cycles option from the left hand list with the pink question marks. I'm assuming you are wanting to enable lathe turning canned cycles, so select the Lathe Canned Cycles option. Then select any of the boxes that are not currently selected for operations that you would like output as canned cycles.

 

Make sure you save the control definition before exiting and reload the machine definition through the operation manager in any existing mcx files in order to have the changes take effect.

 

Default posts typically support this feature, if not, the post will need to be configured for the correct output.
