DO you have a reseller?

 

It's been suggested several times you contact them for various reasons

 

Even the guys at IHS have suggested this to you

We have a reseller but they don't cover the post problem. They only can help the software interface issue but not about G-code. I don't want to be mean but why I'm the only that not allow to ask questions in here whereas other people ask thousand of questions without trouble like me? Do I have to register as another way to ask questions? I just wonder if my account type differents than others?

With all respect, there are a lot of illegal copies of software out there. The mods know that and view new members with a lot of questions with a jaundiced eye. The easiest way for you to win their trust is to simply go to your profile and enter your SIM number in the optional space provided. Only the moderators will be able to see it, and it will prove to them that you are on the level. When their suspicion of your questions goes away, the rank and file users will notice that and be more than willing to help a fellow user out. I personally will not offer assistance to someone that has pirated software.

 

You have nothing to lose, and a lot of help to gain by winning the mods over.

We bought a full package of MasterCamX5-X6 but where do I view the Sim number so I can update my profile? Thank you. Can you direct me some how? I know I have the legal software but I don't know how to retreave the SIM number.

[EX-wccprogrammer]

Top Menu: Help --> About -->

 

In the upper right section is.... Serial number: xxxxxxxxx

[PcRobotic]

Okay, I just updated. I called my reseller, and it is 1312. It is the right number?

[PcRobotic]

Serial number: 1312-I

[EX-wccprogrammer]

There is a registry of valid SIM licenses. If the number checks out, I am sure that the mods will change their tone. If not, expect more of the same.

I don't know what to say to prove that i'm a solid guy with legal software but I'm here with honest and respecful.

I think I got the solutions. Here are the codes that I wrote, I hope I can share with someone who wants the promt question before posting G-Codes. I'm working a company which has ISO9001 that's why clear paperwork is always a must.

 

Step 1: Go go # Question format statements and add these 4 statements

fq 3 sindividualoperation What Operation Are You Posting Now?

fq 4 stotaloperation How Many Operation Does This Program Have?

fq 5 sname What Is Your Customer Name?

fq 6 sprogrammer Who Wrote This Program?

 

Step 2: # Misc strings add these lines

sindividualoperation ""

stotaloperation ""

sname ""

sprogrammer ""

 

Step 3: Go to pheader$ #Call before start of file and add these lines

pheader$ #Call before start of file

hour = int(time$)

min = int((time$ - hour)* 100)

if hour > 12, hour = hour - 12

if hour = 0, hour = 12

year$ = year$ + 2000

Wa...la... you're done. When you're posting G-Code there is a windows will ask you like this

 

What Operation Are You Posting Now?

You can enter what your current operation that you want to post "1"

 

How many Operation Does This Program Have?

You can put as many as you want depend on how many ops you have in your program "2"

 

What Is Your Customer Name?

This is easy to figure out "Novellus Systems"

 

Who Wrote This Program?

Enter a programmer name or you "Steven Luong"

 

 

Then the G-code output will be like this
