That did the trick. Thanks so much. I've been scratching my head for the last week trying to make it work on my own. Thanks Again, J.

I've been using 9.1 Mill for the last 6 or so years (3 and 4 axis VMC & 4 axis HMC) but I recently started at a new job and they have X2Mr2 SP1. I've done pretty well with no assistance with X2 but now I'm stumped. We just got a Mori HMC and I had no luck making machine def/control def that would give me "B" axis rotation in the posted code. All position and retracts were correct, just no "B" axis rotation. I found the X2 generic MPMaster post and generic Machine def and control def on this site and it works, except I get am error when I try to post. I'm creating tool planes by picking solid faces on the part thru the WCS View Manager. All posted code has correct position values but all "B" axis rotations are "B90." Error Reads: (Window title bar) MP (Window Message Error - Select Machine Achievable Toolplane with Y-Axis along Machine Y - Set and Repost I never had any issues in V9 with 4 axis programing but I'm sure I'm missing something simple. This is probably a beginner issue but any help would be greatly appreciated.

First off, this Forum has a lot of great info. From what I've seen MCam X has a lot of great features it will be a great product... eventually. I joined to late to participate in the poll, either time, but my opinion is that if Mcam had a close competitor they would not have released Ver. X quite so early. Is this a preview of what we can expect from MCam? A Beta Version with lots of bells and whistles, but a serious shortfall in quick programming functionality. Maybe our shop differs from most but I don’t think so. We get solids and prints (Solid Works) generated from our drafting department and all we want to do is put tool paths on them and get them on a machine as fast as possible. Another member said “bells and whistles don’t pay the bills” and MCam missed that point. Bells and whistles make them sales, but they don't us make parts. I have heard a few times that one of the improved features in ‘X’ was less keystrokes (less user interface). I’m with a lot of others here that liked the old keystroke selections, since I only need one hand to run my mouse, I might as well be using my other hand for something other than my coffee cup. Without the 'ALT' key please. X T A E D B "Click mouse on a point" O X R A V 1 "Enter" D O "###" "Tab" "Enter" C N B O Damn, how slow is that...
