  1. Did you get a fix for this one? It appears that something internally has changed as 4 axis posts are having trouble as well
  2. All good here too, I have tried X8, X9 and V9 in 2020 and 2021
  3. This is a problem with Windows 10 2004. 2021 Update 2 fixes the issue
  4. there is a checkbox in File Config Toolpaths "lock Feeedrates"
  5. Hi Ernie, It looks like Verisurf 2021 is not going to run in mastercam 2021 Update 2. I get a whole bunch of errors in the log file at startup
  6. interestingly the upcoming OS build 19041.488 does not fix the HASP issue
  7. I had this a few days ago, Windows 10 2004 was the culprit here, Mastercam 2021 RTM runs great, as soon as you install update 1 we had blue screens. The fix was to install the latest HASP drivers. Even if you use a software license you still need the HASP driver
  8. I have found MPmaster and MPLmaster to be a good starting point
  9. Hi All, I have been running some test on a new DMU50 with a TNC640 with 5AX swarf and cutter compensation, so far, I have not managed to get a result. I suspect either my format is incorrect, or I have not entered the tool radius values into the tool table in the correct spot. Has anybody managed to get this to work? I have tried these different formats ______________________________________________________________________ 34 PLANE SPATIAL SPA+0 SPB+7.057 SPC+175.236 TURN F MAX SEQ+ TABLE ROT 35 L X+12.599 Y-14.939 F MAX 36 L B+7.057 C+175.236 F MAX 37 L Z+72.335 F MAX 38 PLANE RESET STAY 39 M128 40 L X-20.076 Y+16.664 Z+70.239 B+7.057 C+175.236 F MAX 41 M08 42 L X-7.955 Y+15.654 Z-28.011 B+7.057 C+175.236 F MAX 43 L X-7.833 Y+15.643 Z-29.004 B+7.057 C+175.236 RL F600 44 L X-8.611 Y+15.691 Z-29.1 B+7.057 C+175.236 F1114 Also 16 TOOL CALL 63 Z S3183 17 CYCL DEF 32.0 TOLERANCE 18 CYCL DEF 32.1 T+.01 19 CYCL DEF 32.2 HSC-MODE:0 TA+.1 20 L B-7.057 C+355.2355 FMAX 21 PLANE SPATIAL SPA+0 SPB-7.057 SPC-4.7645 STAY SEQ- TABLE ROT 22 L X-20.0759 Y+16.6638 FMAX M3 23 PLANE RESET STAY 24 M128 25 L X-20.0759 Y+16.6638 Z+70.2388 NX-.0611828 NY-.9981229 NZ+.0027151 RL FMAX 26 M8 27 L X-7.9551 Y+15.6535 Z-28.0112 NX-.0611828 NY-.9981229 NZ+.0027151 FMAX 28 L X-7.8326 Y+15.6433 Z-29.0036 NX-.0611828 NY-.9981229 NZ+.0027151 F600 29 L X-8.6105 Y+15.6908 Z-29.1001 NX-.0352313 NY-.9993616 NZ+.0059294 F1114 30 L X-9.3899 Y+15.6971 Z-29.1963 NX+.0167265 NY-.9997839 NZ+.0123437 And FUNCTION TCPM F TCP AXIS POS PATHCTRL VECTOR REFPNT TIP-TIP CYCL DEF 32.0 TOLERANCE CYCL DEF 32.1 T+.0015 CYCL DEF 32.2 HSC-MODE:1 TA+.5 M8 L X-7.9551 Y+15.6535 Z-28.0112 C-184.764 B+7.057 FMAX L X-7.8326 Y+15.6433 Z-29.0036 FQ1601 L X-8.6105 Y+15.6908 Z-29.1001 FQ1600 L X-9.3899 Y+15.6971 Z-29.1963 L X-10.1686 Y+15.6623 Z-29.2921 L X-10.9444 Y+15.5865 Z-29.3871 L X-23.1247 Y+5.821 Z-30.7944 L X-23.3724 Y+5.0762 Z-30.8177 L X-23.5811 Y+4.3193 Z-30.836 L X-23.7502 Y+3.5525 Z-30.8493 L X-23.8792 Y+2.778 Z-30.8577 L X-23.9679 Y+1.9977 Z-30.861 L X-23.9759 Y+1.9061 C-184.545 B+7.0572 RL L X-23.9895 Y+1.7158 C-184.091 B+7.057 They all seem to load and run but not actually offset the tool at all.

  10. Always, what settings are you using?
  11. The third party Machines SIMS linked to binned posts still crash here. machine SIM runs but there is a crash warning in the log
  12. 2020 did this, it should be fine in 2021
  13. It looks like machine SIM will not run in Mastercam 2021 with this 2004 update. Machine SIM still works okay in mastercam 2020. Can somebody test it?
  14. I did not update the HASP drivers first, I went both feet in and ran the 2004 update on 1909 straight from the box. I have not had any problems yet
  15. I updated here, everything seems to work okay so far
  16. Yes correct, the G53 Z0 comes from the post. I think that code looks good. The post cannot know your setup or what holes you are drilling next and if there will be interference, so post guys er on the side of caution and add the retract in between the holes. Some posts have a retract switch add into the Misc Reals. maybe your does?
  17. That one is not connected to the machine and control def. You can change the settings around to run a BC output, Are you running G169 and CALL OO88 from that post? If yes you may need to do some work in there as well if you are running a 3+2 safe approach for 5 axis N1 T6 ( EMUGE 12250A TOOL - 6 ) M6 G15 H1 G0 G90 A-63.1049 C19.1142 S4000 M3 CALL OO88 PX=0.

  18. Can you share a sample file we can run through a few different posts?
  19. Hi Dave, CIMCO posts default to CYCLE 32 - 0.01 Angle tol - 0.1 Inhouse post I have here CYCLE 32 - 0.003 Angle tol - Not output on 530 post CAMplete defaults to for the same machine you have CYCLE 32 - 0.02 Angle tol - 0.5 A few customers use the below CYCLE 32 - 0.015 Angle tol - 0.1
  20. It all comes down to how much you want to spend really, my advice is spend as much as you can I have a new Dell 7540 i9-9980HK 96 GB RAM Quadro RTX4000 m.2 drives
