    Normally they will if your using the same offset number. If you need it for each, check the force tool change tab on the toolpath parameters tab.

    Hey Gregg, Did Jimmy get with you on this? Sorry, I just saw it.
  3. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    You need to have the machine loaded, go to settings, control definition, arc, uncheck support arcs in the XY, YZ, XZ, save, o.k. your way out, restart mastercam, now try it on a new toolpath and it should be outputting only linear moves.

    If this is regular hasp and NOT a network hasp. Try going to start, all programs, Mastercam x2, NHASP X, make sure it is set to hasp and NOT nethasp.

    Are you sure that you are installing a full version and not a 9.1 patch disk. If you still have a 9.0 disk you may want to try to load it first then work up to 9.1.

    Hey Travis, I just have'nt found the right one yet. I'll see you Saturday morning at yout place.

    Xform Project.

    Had him back graphics acceleration down some and it seems to have fixed it.
  9. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Just had a customer install it with Windows 2000, he is also running his graphics at full acceleration due to modeling software. If he just sets tool and hits o.k. to generate path he can go back in and set the lead in/out. If he tries to do it when it first opens the parameters it errors out and closes. I figure it is either the graphics or Win 2000 just wanted to see if anyone else had seen this issue.

    After installing X2, has anyone else had it crash when picking the lead in/out button on a lathe toolpath?
  11. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Sorry I misunderstood the problem. I thought you were getting the error when opening a drawing.
  12. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    The driver_x.zip will work with V9 as well. Since it is a regular hasp be sure to go to start, all programs, mcam9, nhasp utilities and make sure the hasp box is checked. If it is not, it will search the network for a hasp that's not there and say no hasp found.
  13. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    You may want to try unchecking the box that say's restore entire nci file on file/get. This will sometimes open a file that is alarming out as yours is. If it doesn't then the file is probably corrupted.
  14. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    If this a regular hasp(not a network hasp)and that doesn't fix it go to the Nhasp Utility and make sure that hasp is checked instead of nethasp.

    What he is saying is when you go to pick the editor, instead of just picking the Mastercam editor from the list pick other to browse to the one you want, now go to c:/MCAMX/common/editors/mastercam/ and pick the MCXSART.EXE file.
  16. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    If you go to start, all programs, MCAMX, documentaion, pick the installation guide and go to the section about command line switches it will cover what you need for your nethasp.
  17. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Just to be sure, you say you just loaded mcx on the new machine? Since the X2 cd's were just sent out recently I wondered if you did have the same version of Mastercam on both machines?
  18. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Go to C:/mcamx/config/ folder and copy the mcamx.config and put in same place on new machine. Hopefully this will fix the issue.
  19. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    If you load the disk it will come up and when you tell it to install mcamx it will come up and give you the option to do a repair install instead of a full install which sometimes finds and fixes problems, but not always.
  20. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Try going to C:/mcamx/common/editors/mastercam/and try double clicking on the MCXSTART.exe. Does this open the editor? Either way, I would try doing a repair install and see if that helps.
  21. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    In settings, configuration, Make sure that under default machine the one you want is selected for that type of product, but also make sure in start/exit, the default product is selected also, it is usually defaulted to design.
  22. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Did you copy your ops, tools, and config to the new machine? If you have changed any default setting on the old machine they may not be set up the same and could turn ops dirty.
  23. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    In settings, configuration, start/exit, set the editor to PFE, post out a part . Now go back and set it to the Mastercam Editor. Try to post ans see if this has helped. I have seen it do this and usually this procedure fixes the problem.
  24. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Sorry I didn't see this sooner. But as you can see there is a lot of help here.
  25. Mike Gates from Barefoot CNC
    Just saws this. You could have just gone into post under program and debugging switches. Find this line scaxadrs A #Address for the rotary axis change to scaxadrs C #Address for the rotary axis tried it and this would have given you the desired C output as well.
