I think that I was able to get this to work but double check me on this.

I created the thread milling operation at the first location.

I used transform to create the sub checking sub - incremental.  I set to copy source and disable posting in selected source.   Transformed it X0 Y0 Instances 1 and 1

Then I created the drill sub as colin suggested.  

here was the output.

threadmill sub test.mcam

Where is the subroutine check box? 

I see the subroutine settings in the control definition which appear to be turned on but I don’t see anything related to subroutine in the thread mill toolpath tree

You have to create a new drill cycle and select it in there.  All it does, is post out a sub call routine for each point you select.

Set  your retract to .1 above your top of stock number.    It starts pecking at your retract height

Or change to incremental

Data allotment? What is the maximum amount? This is news to me. 

ncplot.     Now there is a name I haven't heard in a while.

There are some articles online that will help explain how to separate the date out in to something usable.

With the square broaches I have spec'd them several times to do the Charging Handle areas on AR upper receivers...have worked without issue

 

Edit: Although I am programming those with a straight plunge cuts..not rotary

We usually end up doing the square broached holes on the mills and in the same way.  We plunge out the corners. 

We're looking at a job that has a 1/4" square and it would be nice to be able to rotary broach that thing.

I have used Slater Rotary broaches for years..

No, it's just a spinning tool.....it cuts as it wobbles...

Slater has ground many tools to my required spec's as well as off the shelf offerings

Have you tried any of their square broaches?  If so, have you had any luck with them? 

Our lathe guys have had a rough time rotary broaching square holes.

          You sir solved the puzzle ....... THANK YOU !!!!!

I can't take credit for the solution.  I've seen this happen quite a few times on here and that's always been some of the old timers response so I was just passing on the info. 

I'm happy that it worked out for you.  

Try deleting your 'Documents/My Mastercam 2022' folder and let it rebuild.   Back it up first so you don't lose your settings.

If you are still using 2018 like your signature says change the 2022 to 2018. 

Anyone know if the new waterline supports undercutting?

I've actually heard a Top-level Manager say that.

We've had customers for commercial parts come in and think that was pretty much how the process works.   Upload a model to the machine.  Machine makes part. 

They couldn't figure out why we had NRE's factored in to the quote.

I'd be curious to know as well. However, I am always curious about anything 'cloud'. Where is it really stored, and who might have access...

As it turns out, it appears to just be for the machine profiles and nothing else.  At least not that I can see.

Does HSM Advisor support cloud so that you can share feeds & speeds or is everything local?

It has a cloud login but I've never used it.

Maybe I'll create a login and check it out.

Not trying to start a mud flinging argument about video cards but I think there are some misunderstandings here, maybe on my part so if this is the case let me know. 

No mud slinging here.  I can only give anecdotal experiences and cite information that I've read.

I would be curious to see how the newer higher end Quadro cards perform on your sample file.

Might be a worth while read.  

I've been down this road before.  I'm using a GeForce card right now because we were building on a budget.  If I'm working on something simple, it's perfectly fine.  If I get in to a large assembly and need to turn on translucency to be able to see through things, it's almost impossible to rotate the model smoothly.  This is in Mastercam.

I also use TopSolid at work which seems to be a LOT smoother with the GeForce card than MC.  That's not a knock on MC. I'm just pointing out that my experience varies application to application.

https://www.engineering.com/story/whats-the-difference-between-geforce-and-quadro-graphics-cards

Quote

More importantly, the ISVs can tune their applications for optimum use with Quadro cards. This tuning can result in significant performance improvements. Take SOLIDWORKS, for example. In benchmark tests of application performance, SOLIDWORKS performs roughly two times better when using a Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card over a GeForce RTX 2070. Some applications see even more dramatic performance gains: Siemens NX performs about 25 times better on the Quadro RTX 4000 than the GeForce RTX 2070. Not all applications see this level of improvement—it really depends on how much the application utilizes the GPU—but where there are improvements, they’re significant.

The version selector doesn't launch for me.

Did you point the 'open with' to that .exe?

At my friend's shop they have Mastercam X9 and 2017 installed. The default program is X9 for opening files like .step and .sldprt. I went in and selected the exe for Mastercam 2017 but it keeps launching them in X9. How do I clear that out and select the new program as the "open with".

I literally just went through something similar.

Look for  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Mastercam\McamVersionSelector.exe  

I'm constantly right clicking in the toolpath manager.      It's just habit now. 

Damn..  this has to be close to the reviving the oldest thread award?   

Does the Nomura salesman have a list of customers you can call to ask what they're using for that specific machine? 

Are you going to want full machine simulation with that? 

Anyone know what's happened with PartMaker since Autodesk absorbed them?

wow

That setting has burned me so many times......   I will forever have that checked unless somehow I only do the same thing over and over and cease to care about optimizing my feeds and speeds per operation and cut width/depth.  Which will likely be never...

It would be nice if you could lock it per operation rather than globally.

Here - I just did it on my desktop in about 30 seconds. 

edit: I didn't see the previous post.

Not really, it turns out. This is a 5X Path, with Vector Output, so it all ends up being point-to-point motion.

I have noticed that it will generate very quickly though, so although it creates a ton of code, that seems to be the only drawback.

I decided to give it a shot on an odd shaped part were working on. 

I liked the way the path turned out.  It took me a few minutes to get it dialed in.

The file size was about 10X what it was using 3 separate optirough operations with multiple stock models.   ACK!
