I modified a post to post out probing and use a manual entry text file. The block numbers are MB1, ECT so Camplete inserts the gcode into the program. So there is no hand editing. It supports 550 lines of code. I usually add more when I'm bored as it's quite laborious.

Yeah. The only way to get probing into CAMplete and have it simulate is to program it with Fusion360 or CAMplete's clunky probing stuff (which I never use). Double check with your PQI guy that they set up the (REN*FCS*TO*WCS) (usually in O9744 but PQI does some funky stuff where they deviate from the Renishaw standard with their Renishaw InspectionPlus installs). (************************) N30 (FCS*TO*WCS*CALC) (ONLY SET WCS FOR TABLE TYPE ROTARY AXIS) (ALL TOOL TYPE ROTARY AXIS = 0) #1=0 #2=#5024 #3=#5025 Set your tilt and rotary variables based on A/B, A/C, or B/C configuration. The above example is for a B/C kinematic machine. #5024 = Machine Coordinate for 4th Axis #5025 = Machine Coordinate for 5th Axis If your Yamazen AE can't answer your questions, hit me up.

This is the post I made about it https://www.emastercam.com/forums/topic/101640-some-camplete-tricks-i-worked-on/?do=findComment&comment=1298142

whhhaaaaaat? That makes me sad I love CIMCO for probing. Next week I'm finally getting training with an AE on the machines, I have so many questions lol. I am working from home right now so I will have to get back with you next week on that. Appreciate the help on all of this

If you're using CAMPlete for post processing, the CIMCO Probing package add-on is not compatible with CAMplete. Send me your PQI InspectionPlus manual and I can modify the Fixed Sentence file and you can read it in. It's got some extra goodies in it as well.

make sure 2d/3d is set just in case it is set to 2d and projecting geometry to a z value

That will be it's death knell if you ask me.... This company will NOT utilize software that is subscription based.....Autodesk was already dropped...Materialise is about to hit the curb...if a perpetual license isn't available it won't be here.

I wonder how long it will ne before we see Mastercam go to the SAAS model and begin rolling out subscriptions only.

i pulled that from a help section of an older version since it had more info and pics, but as far as what is meant by over machining im not sure what whoever wrote this up originally meant by that. Its pretty easy to see the differences between all 3 of them in the file attached though, i setup 3 toolpaths and intentionally made the path retract after each pass, then added an avoidance, and you can see how the retracts are slightly different around the avoidance surface from each toolpath example.

The Autodesk Borg was my first thought, unfortunately, too. I've been leery of all the acquisitions. I know nothing has changed substantially for us as end users, but I fear the day will come. You know... the 'buy now' button beside the recommended tool for your operation based on the AI's suggestion from the Sandvik library.

They missed "leverage", you shouldn't announce something like this unless you've added how it will help us end-users "leverage" something or other against our "solution" needs. I just text searched - 4 "solutions" and not a single "leverage". Bullocks!!
