  1. Hey! Thanks. Yes, thats what I mean by the reset block. I also had figured out the Tool call by just opening and reading the post. Very simple! Thank you very much. Im going to test the coolant right now. Notice that ive been a member of the forum for years I have just never participated. We bought Mastercam two years ago but I was very stubborn to make the switch from cimatron. Im forcing myself to do it now!
  2. I dont meant to hijack this post, but I am also in need of a little post work. I think that the changes I need are very basic and that I could do them myself if pointed in the right direction. A little history here. Im actually a Cimatron user "13 years" converting to mastercam X2. I just started using mastercam about a week ago and like it by the way although im having a little trouble with the change. I can edit the cimatron gpp posts just fine and think that with a little direction would be able to start editing the mcx posts as well. The post I am using is the generic mill mpfan post and it works ok for what I am doing. The changes I would like to make are: 1. The coolant off at the end of the tool. Instead of turning off in the z home move is it easy to change it to the last rapid clear move of the tool path? 2. Calling up the next tool. It doesnt output the tool call untill right before it needs to change tools. Is there an easy way to have it call up the next tool in the beginning of the prior tools output? 3. The easiest change. The Reset block. Output the reset block at the beginning of every tool "for old control" instead of just at the beginning of the program? Thanks. I'll probably have a million other questions as i get further in to mastercam.
  3. Hey thanks! that worked like a charm.
