Go to Machine Group properties in toolpath manager & click on the Tool settings set the feed calculation from tool & enter the parameters in your tool (by right clicking the tool)including the Rapid rate your machine does.

Lloyd you can try this method open your post processor & find pcomment2 line remove the two braces in the operation comment line save it & post your operations...

Gunther!! really we are expecting this thankyou so much!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to tool parameters, tool clearance, scan tool geometry & regenerate the toolpath. can you share the file so that I can get a better picture of your problem.

woody click on Gview icon in status bar, you can see a rotate option in that menu click on that, rotate the planes as you need & save into a new gview with cplane & wcs welcome to the forum

create > curve > one edge & select the edges of the grooves or use > all edges option & select the groove faces in the solid. whether it is imported solid or mastercam made.

Dave did u tried using Xform > project > surface option and choose the solid face

drexen do you have a post processor file for Dyna, if not get it from your reseller corresponding to the version of mc your are using. then you have to set the post procesor to dyna post in your machine defn. for that, 1. settings> control defn >post processors> add files(select the dyna post)> save the config & close 2. in toolpath manager click files tab under machine> edit, now you can see the default post processor display,go there & pull down & select your dyna post & click OK now you can output Dyna NC codes when you post right now im in home; will give more explanation in by tomorrow morning if you need.......

drexen do you want to change the icon for posting the operation or change the post processor to output Dyna format NC codes?????????? -------------- WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Jeff check whether your X+ setupsheet is installed in "mcamxchooksX+" folder, since when you start installing the X+ it will try to install in a folder c:McamX2-MR1. you have to change this to "drive namemcamx". else wait for X+ X2MR2

mandolinkgn just change the NC editor if you are using mastercam editor to view your NCcodes, just go to settings > configuration > start/exit> pull down editor dialog & select PFE32 and continue posting your toolpaths. try a search so that you can find more answers to fix this. this problem rises when you update mastercam or install in the same directory where you have had the older one, uninstalled V9 from the same directory.

Ann, there is a direct converter available for soldiworks files for converting into mastercam ones. go to mastercam website & download solidworks direct translator for the corresponding version of mastercam which you use for NC codes generation. WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Backplotting in X or X2 is more easy for me than in v9, what kind of problem do u face here?

Hi All, currently I am using X+ setup sheet (free downloaded) but the drilling time calculated there is similar to mc backplotting (not correct). mc's .set setup sheet shows time more or less equal to practical drilling time on machine it seems is there any option to correct this problem in X+ setupsheet or link .set file from mc thanks

I am running both X2MR2 & V9, because often I will go back to V9 for some surface modeling, especially coons options. for generating the toolpaths I will come back to X2MR2 since it is faster than V9, I have never faced any problems in running both the versions even after reinstalling.

Did you check the same file in some other system having different configuration (graphics card, memory).. I haven't found any crashes during verify, but instead it does when i regenerate some toolpaths which takes huge time for generation..

Chris I did some programs for my LBCNC lathe for OSPL1000 controller, the first programs runs well & machine got paused at the next tool change command line.

Metric in leadin/out settings check "Enter on first depth cut only" in entry settings & check "Exit on last depth cut only" in exit settings.

I had this problem before but not now; even after re-installation I got a error saying "invalid exe". this may be due to the registry files in the system. search for REGISTRY CLEAN EXPERT software & uninstal MC.it uninstalls completely & deletes the registry entries.

Does CNC address any development for 1. Multitasking for swiss auto lathes 2. Parametric surface modeling 3. Improvement in toolpath generation time in X2 MR2 or X3

Ah !!! i found it..no problem now...

Dear All I struggling with the toolpath manager display. can I switch off the WCS & Toolplane info in the toolpaths name display, so that I can see my COMMENTS in the toolpath without expanding the toolpath mansger view. is there any other option to view my comments in the toolpath near toolpath serial no. thanks in advance

Hi, not possible !!! according to my knowledge

Dear All, 1. Is there any simulator for Swiss auto lathes that can be added with Mastercam? suggest for trial vesions also. 2. How can we set “X Sandvik Lathe Swiss Tooling (MM).LIC” as the default library & to see the preview of the tools. thanks
