Dear all,
I have a stock model as result of some operations and before the last operation I want to manually remove the tabs I left, so I am not adding any toolpath in Mastercam to do it. I can't find a way to convert the stock model to a solid and then to modify it, before using this as Stock model again.
What's the correct procedure?
Thanks JParis,
now it looks much better, even if it is still missing the R parameter after the first line:
N5 G98 G83 Z-40.523 R-27.57 Q3. F160.
N6 G98 G83 X0. Y29.3 Z-40.523 Q3. F160.
N7 G98 G83 X-25.375 Y-14.65 Z-40.523 Q3. F160.
N8 G80
Any idea why?
Maybe I have not been clear enough in my first post... when I peckdrill multiple holes, I get a Gcode like this one:
N3756 G98 G83 Z-40.523 R-27.57 Q3. F160.
N3757 X0. Y29.3
N3758 X-25.375 Y-14.65
N3759 G80
Instead I would like to have this:
N3756 G98 G83 Z-40.523 R-27.57 Q3. F160.
N3757 X0. Y29.3
N3756 G98 G83 Z-40.523 R-27.57 Q3. F160.
N3758 X-25.375 Y-14.65
N3756 G98 G83 Z-40.523 R-27.57 Q3. F160.
N3759 G80
As you see, I get anyway the correct x,y for each hole, but I would like to have also the full gcode "G98 G83 Z... R... Q... F..."
JParis,
I have tried what you suggested, but it is not working...
I tried also
pcan1, pbld, n$, pxout, pyout, pzout, *prdrlout, *feed, strcantext, e$
but this is only adding the feed speed, not the R parameter.
Thanks for your reply, making a separate toolpath for each hole is quite long...
I have tried to look at the post and I couldn't find the option to output a code for each hole, but I am not an expert of post processors... Attached there is the post I am using, could you have a look?
Generic Fanuc 3X Mill.pst
Hello, I am starting to use Mastercam and I noticed that when I set a peck drilling cycle for multiple holes, the Post processor (Generic Fanuc) create a Gcode with the complete G73/G83 instructions for the first hole and the only the coordinates of the other holes. I would like to have the complete G73/G83 command for each hole, like that it is easier to resume the code from any line. Is it possible?
