Me too, this problem is happened to circle wire frame only, It works ok with solids or surfaces

All the tools were there, But they are in previous Machine group. HTH

Jmc, I just base on his info. quote: So if I have a hole on the left side it goes B25 and if I have a hole on the right side it goes B335. I want it to say B-335.

quote: So if I have a hole on the left side it goes B25 and if I have a hole on the right side it goes B335. I want it to say B-335. Don't confuse yourself B335 = B-25. (not B-335.) quote: It's the new MPMASTER 9.1 ver post If you use Mpmaster.post. Look at this section: code: rot_ccw_pos : 1 #Axis signed dir, 0 = CW positive, 1 = CCW positive ret_on_indx : 0 #Machine home retract on rotary index moves, (0 = no, 1 = yes) index : 0 #Use index positioning, 0 = Full Rotary, 1 = Index only ctable : 5 #Degrees for each index step with indexing spindle one_rev : 0 #Limit rotary indexing between 0 and 360? (0 = No, 1 = Yes) <================ Here lock_codes : 1 #Use rotary axis unlock/lock M-Codes? (0 = No, 1 = Yes) HTH

There was a NETHook created by Mick From CNC for this fuction. Link HTH

Thank Millman and Paul, I don't understand why they took hot Key for Text away. If it is conflicts they could asign different letter. Thanks

With X2MR1, within "Smart Dimension", click the dimension and type "T" for text bring up Text edit box. Bring the mouse (pointer) over the icon, which letter is Underline that is the sort Key. sort Key for X2MR1: T = Text H = height ... With X2MR2. They change the sort Key around. Now T = height H = Horizontal ... I couldn't find any sort key for Text .... ??????

quote: but if that was the problem how would sending to toolchange or running in single block prevent it "losing its position" It is a great question? I have nerver end up that problem. So I am not sure about that ____

We run ISO G-code in our Mazak Variaxis 630 for last few years without any problem. The problem is THE LENGHT OFFSET LINE. The Mazak has it own lenght offset table come with each tool. So in program format don't use any H number in G43 line. Ex: (this is what we use) N1 T1 M6 N100 (#5 EXT. CENTER DRILL) N102 S1019 F3.06 N104 (M16 HOLES) N106 G0 G90 A0. C0. N108 X-1.3386 Y0. N110 G43 Z15.149 M8 ( <==== No H1 value ) N112 M3 N114 G98 G81 Z9.864 R10.124 F3.06 N116 X1.3386 Y0. N118 G80 N120 M9 N122 M5 N124 G91 G28 Z0. HTH

Thanks I tried MBD and crashes for me too _____

Please, Explain what is MDB mean ? Thanks

Thanks Mick. It is nice tool. Work only for MCX files, how about MC9 files and previous VER.

Randy, Now, I am not sure what you asking for ? So I assume we have two question: Q 1. you want to create new Dim and Adding Tol. Ans: Example if you want to create new horizontal dim. After you pick two end point type "t" or use icon, bring edit text box and then add whatever... Q 2. You want to edit existing Dim. Ans: Use "Anylyze entity properties" as per Del. metioned above. for me I use "Smart Dimention" and pick the one I want to edit and type "T" Note: t for text h for high d for dia ...

John, You got mail Qmp

John Summers I use flat geo and the toolpath parameter automatic roll it for me. where do I change it to -90 ? If I roll GEO first ( set a positioning to -90 as you said ) and then the backplot look ok but in Verify and NC file off -90 deg. If you need the file I will send it to you to take a look. Qmp
