i was wondering if i upgrade to the latest version for this and train to use solid works could i function as a designer and programmer ? just wondering how much faster

the software would b ?

well thank you for looking , what code controls the rotation i see the rot on x and the pcout ?

any hints even would help i can probably figure it out once on the right track!

i have a ge2000 control i need it cut blocks on an indexer but after it rotates once the deg get above 360 example it rotates 4 times 0,90,180,270 then when i go back to zero it reads 360 and climbs from there as if its in incremetal?

sorry it tells me i cant upload this type of file?

sorry i thought i attached file! will try again!

if i want to spot drill then drill then endmill the ream a hole can i do this with a auto drill cycle?

i have 3 groups of machines 2 that use the lead in to apply comp and 1 that doesnt .

is there a way to make all 3 the same . these are old machines i can send the posts ( i think i would be allowed

by the reseller?) since ver 9 is no longer supported .(and this is not a complaint inhouse has been very good to us)

sorry, wasnt very clear.

i save a file with no geometry and then import the drawing

and then just select the geometry. so the operations are allready there.

i can drag and drop the points but was just wondering if there was a way to group them without moving them

from there original order.

hi, listen i am a new guy so this may not help but we use a excel file to change tools amoung machines,\it is on lathes

but say a cnmg on 3101 is diffent than 3104 the mastercam is programmed to a cnmg then the sheet takes over and corrects it for both machines.

Hi guys, this is a quick one . i have 100 plus blocks to do that have the same features just in different spots.

so my operations look like

cdrill

drill #7 (for 1/4-20)

drill 11/32

endmill 3/8 to straighten hole

endmill slot 3/8

ream 3/8

tap 1/4-20

so the question is , is there a way so when i select the holes for the #7 drill to make it also go into the 1/4-20?

and the 11/32 and endmill and reamer. there are more ops than this , it would just save time and reduce mistakes.

I am looking for a wtfnl164 holder with a tnmg 432 insert to add to my lathe

It is 4140 H.T.S.R. flame hardened to 50-52 hrc

If anyone has any ideas it would be helpfull

I love that quote from Ford, but from a fairly new mc user I can only complament this forum and the outstanding support related to this product.
