Adjusting the axis combo is all done in the 5 axis rotary settings of the post, see attached file. As far as TCPC goes, we don't have full 5-axis Mastercam, so I didn't have to mess with that.
With DWO, the easiest solution I came up with is to have a "G253" posted on the same line as all the x,y,z,b,c positioning codes at any rotation. I made a macro and aliased G253 to that Macro. On the machine, the G253 macro performs the following functions- turns off DWO, positions the B,C axis, turns DWO on, positions x,y, then finally positions the Z. I like using the macro over having the post do all the work because I have evolved that macro to control many other functions, specifically, it now logically controls rotations to go the shortest distance possible. For example, where the post may output a "C360." then a "C0." the macro recognizes this as the same position and nulls the rotation. I'm sure you could get the post to do this, but I am not proficient enough with post editing to figure out how to do this. Let me know if you want me to post my Macro.
Thanks Cole, this was really helpful!
I'm still getting my foot in the door to the world of macros. I would like to try it if you're good with posting it.
Thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated!

Hey Colin, I am attempting to do the same for the generic vf tr post for our new Haas UMC500. How did you implement TCPC and DWO output? And how did you change the A and B axis output to B and C? Any help is much appreciated!

I appreciate the feedback Craig! I will definitely try that on my next machine build.

Thanks for your response Ron. I exported the STL models in MM, and that seemed to work. Why is that if my main simulation file is in Inches?
I'll try another machine to see if that's a fix for it.
1 hour ago, JParis said:When I work with Machsim I always work with mm models...
They convert when using it automagically..so it's not an issue
I tried this just moments ago and it worked! Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I just created a machine sim file for our Haas VF4SS w/ a HRT310SP rotary and when I exported each STL as IN units, when I create the machine all components reflect what I exported. I set all the axis limits as the actual machine. When I go to simulate a part, the tool and part are a different scale than the machine. Even the travels for each axis are downscaled. All files are in the same units(Inch) , and my configuration for STL exporting is also set to Inch. Am I doing something wrong? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Here is a pic of what I'm seeing at simulation.
Mastercam Mill-Turn Chuck Jaw Problems

Hey guys!
I was hoping for some insight on this issue I'm having in my mill turn environment.
I'm working on a Doosan SMX2100ST and I'm doing work on the sub-spindle.
I've created my jaws the way I always have and when I use them working on the sub-spindle they show up open to a really large diameter in Sync Manager, but they're ok in the Mastercam file. Has this happened to anyone? If so, how did you correct it?
Already spoke to our reseller and they mentioned that it also happens on their end.
Any and all info is appreciated. Thank you!
