  1. plz look at doc file. cadcam's ftp site Text_&_post_files_&_miscv9 X2 arc direction.doc link is there a setting i can change to get my arcs as they were in v9?
  2. well it's x2 mr2 sp1.....this interface still hasn't been updated. i wish importing operations was the same as it was in v9. as kathy stated in 2006, this is time consuming and you don't see your file...only the folder...very strange
  3. yes search internet pdf to dxf conversion/translate. i did this once a few years ago. try aide cad systems....aide pdf to dwg also datakit also autocad has an add-on i believe i used trial version...it worked pretty well
  4. yes i have spoken with greg culp....robotmaster seems to be very strong at programming robots. i'm still very interested in what is being machined (material removal related) out in the real world. if we can't hold the tolerance we require with robots then purchasing robotmaster won't be needed. we will be machining graphite. the parts i envision machining with the robot will have tolerances...+/-.002 to +/-.004 is this achievable?
  5. other than to load/unload parts what application do you use your robots for? i am most interested in multi axis machining. can you tool change? can you rough or only finish? (not hp to rough?) what tolerance can you hold? what size parts? rotary or trunnion table? do you use robotmaster or other software? thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
  6. can this be accomplished?
  7. x2 mr2 sp1 using surfacing.....i would like clearance at start and end of op to be Z3.00" any retracts during op to be Z.125" clrance = 3.00 use clrance at start end is greyed out retract = .125 feed plane = .100 DOES NOT WORK....retracts during op are still at 3.00 not .125 how can i set to work properly?
  8. this sounds like it has possibilities....would you be able to show me how it looks when posted out?
  9. search.....reverse post process
  10. my reseller saw my question...he stepped in and solved. these fmt lines were the problem, so once blocked out....the date coded as i wanted (01-23-08) #fmt 14 day$ #fmt 14 month$ #fmt 6 year2 #year2 = year$ + 2000 if i understand correctly.....in X2 anything in the post with $ at the end is taken at face value....so month$ day$ year$ come right from the computer, we don't need to force these values. thanks to chris parish at optipro and all others who helped.
  11. 5 in any or all fmt....did not work
  12. jparis thanx for offer..... i'm getting close..... these are variables in post fmt 14 day$ fmt 14 month$ fmt 6 year2 year2 = year$ + 2000 this is in my post "(CREATED ON - ", month$ ,"-",day$ ,"-",year$ ,")", e$ this is what is coded out (CREATED ON - 1.-24.-08) i would like it to look like this (CREATED ON - 01-24-08) any ideas how to get rid of points and force month to two digits???
  13. 3rd string.....your code did not work. thanks for trying
  14. if i change to this......(add *) "(CREATED ON - ", *month$ ,"-", *day$ ,"-",year$ ,")", e$ i get this..... = (CREATED ON - 001- -08) month & day still not post correctly.
  15. i've tried 8 forum suggestions and i cannot get the month and day to post correctly. any help will be greatly appreciated...this is what i have. original v9 post- pheader "(CREATED ON - ",*month,45,*day,45,*year,")", e this is what was coded in program = (CREATED ON - 05-12-07) mcx2 mr2 sp1 using updatepost.dll this is what i have- pheader "(CREATED ON - ",month$ ,"-",day$ ,"-",year$ ,")", e$ this is what was coded in program = (CREATED ON - --07)

  17. thanks todd.......it works great.....simple but effective.
  18. is there a new toolpath available?....saw cut? (not the one in router which uses a circular saw blade) i'm hoping for a toolpath that travels around a part moving up-n-down in Z to use a cutters full flute length. if a part is 2" thick but you only have 3" flute length cutters....you can program 1" of Z travel as the cutter moves around the part.
  19. Plot function....v9.1 was..... screen - next menu - plot you could set scale, win driver etc... Does X2 have this function? I need to create charts for a comparator at a certain scale.
  20. what is "used to work with levels"???? what do you use?
  21. errrrr....i was saving all along, my screen looked good but little did I notice I only had 1 entity in the level manager... a couple hrs wasted
  22. Is this issue being addressed?
