When the code is used at the end of a tool, is there a way in the post to correct this: code: G91G28Z0.M106 M01 () ( 6MM CARB EM TOOL - 2 DIA. - 6. ) () M22( ROTATE TO G57 SIDE ) () ( MILL NOTCH G57 SIDE ) () N122T2M6 N124G0G90G57X-9.52Y-4.S6500M3 N126G43H2Z11.25M8T3 to this: code: G91G28Z0.M106 () M22( ROTATE TO G57 SIDE ) () M01 () ( 6MM CARB EM TOOL - 2 DIA. - 6. ) ( MILL NOTCH G57 SIDE ) () N122T2M6 N124G0G90G57X-9.52Y-4.S6500M3 N126G43H2Z11.25M8T3 I want the () M22( ROTATE TO G57 SIDE ) () at the end of the last tool, before the M01, and not in the description of the next tool.

Got an example?

Can't you just create a new one?

There is alot of info on this if you use the search function. Use *Horizontal Programming* as the keywords.

I didn't realize there was a memory limit. I had this happen all the time when X first came out, but haven't seen it since X2 was released.

Paul - thank you very much.

At least this thread is getting bumped.

Stork - sent

Not sure if I understand what you are talkin about Kannon...

Yes, I have the planes and WCS correct(99% sure at least)...I think something in my post is keeping them from coding properly.

Found some answers using search, but can't figure out why the "B" isn't outputting. I want the code to look like this(without the added asterisks): code: N150 G0 G54 X.035 Y10.159 ***B0.*** S213 M3 N170 G43 H0 Z12. N180 G98 G81 Z1. R6.1 F4.28 N190 G80 N200 M5 N210 G91 G28 Z0. N230 G0 G90 G55 X.035 Y10.159 ***B90.*** S213 M3 But it is not posting the "B's" I have the *164. Enable Rotary Axis button* set to yes. Am I missing something else in my post?

Has anyone looked into this?

Thanks Ron, I figured it out. Does anyone know if tool manufacturers have importable tool lists that can be added to mastercam?

That's what I'm trying to accomplish.

How do you delete a tool from a library?

quote: change drill every 12.000 holes Is that supposed to be 12,000?

Do you have it open when closing the last session of mastercam?

You don't have *start finish pass at closest entity* checked do you?

Do you have the box checked that supports that feature?

Do we need to have the .pst files on the local workstation? If so, that may have been our problem.

I must be doing something backwords...I have always saved the network defs. and overwritten the ones on the local workstation. When the other user saved the network defs. to his local workstation, the changes didn't hold.

If I have my machine and control defs. saved to a network drive, can they be used by another seat?

Thanks guys...that was easier than I thought it would be.
