I have a mazak nexus VMC with a nikkon a-axis. What is the m-code to lock /unlock the 4th axis
-
I often import operations from other mcx6 files.The defaualt file type is.vx operation files. Is there a way ,by chance, a chook to set default to Mastercam Files?

Name your image file "my_logo.png" and overwrite the file located in C:\ Open the default_xss.css file, if thats the one you are using, with notepad. Its in C:\Users\Public\Documents\X+. Uncheck the " /* " in front and behind the "background-image:url(file:///c:/my_logo.png);" line. In your browser print options,check print background images. Should work

Able to window select 40 arcs and project 40 splines onto a surface. Mcam connects the splines... Ive had this enhanement request in for a while.
-
I'm looking to install a stand alone dnc software package. It needs to be simple to use and setup. Its for 4 mills with fanuc controllers.
-
The tabs are gone in x6 when i post multiple ops. I cant seem to change the default to tabs. Nevermind, the default is Mastercam editor. IMO ,the default should be cimco.
-
I only see 6 pdf files .Administrator guide .pdf ,quick start guide .pdf ,etc.
-
Is there a report available on what bugs were fixed in this X6 Mu1 update?
-
A search of the nc code found no R's I'm running i,j, and k's. I checked the "one way filtering" in the total tolerance. I reposted and did a file compare with the original file and saw no differences. Is there a setting on the fanuc controller that could be changed? Maybe a post setting?
-
Arc break is used in control def. and the "allow full arc" is unchecked It doesnt gouge the part because it arcs inside the slot
-
Ok... I have a simple flowline toolpath.Milling a chamfer on a slot. The flowline data is correct,the surface normals are correct. It backplots fine and im using a cnc editer to backplot the nc code,it looks fine. Running a fanuc controller, the tool does a full 360 deg circle instead of the 180 deg arc on the ends. It only does this on one of the 14 chamfers that i am milling. As it steps down , it seems to do this random 360 arc and continue along the chamfer surface. Any idea where to begin looking?

Where do change the settings to post output .xxxxx after the decimal.
-
What would you have to change,in Mc/post, to output moves in incremental from hole to hole. Is this possible?
-
I wonder if they have a expiration.The bugs i've turned in for x4,x5 are still in X6. Do i need to resend in the cnc numbers,files etc..
-
I can write to config.Even though its "read only" Any way ,I got it to work..... There are 3 places to set your verify settings. One overwrites the other.This is shown in my video above. Turns out, the "verify options" in verify, trumps them all. IMO they should reduce the number of places to set verify stock to one. My reseller agrees and sent it in to cnc. Thanks to all.
-
IT guy says "read only" is normal ,verify doesnt change the settings in mcamx.config I've tried using a .stl file as stock. It only shows a cylinder in a axis,no matter what i change.
-
hmmm I unchecked read only,hit apply.... verify didnt change. So..i went back to change the read only setting and it was checked as read only. I have admin rights but,it changed back to being checked "read only" for some reason. I guess i need my it guy.
-
hit and miss. Sometimes i would have to open a different file, run verify,switch back to my file and it would work. I would do this as a workaround. Its never been flawless..... for me.
-
Yes, read only
-
nope, maybe i need to delete my config and let mc rewrite it...grasping at straws here
-
here it is
-
ok i saved my settings in op defaults,hit green checkmark,yes to save but........... as soon as i run verify it switches back to different settings if i dont run verif it stays ... i wish i could record this somehow
-
Yep, i set it as cylinder in z axis,i also have the same in machine group properties. It will only show a cylinder in the x axis, sometimes with a tombstone.
-
Thanks but still got tombstone. .... i've been trying differnt shapes and restarting the computer. no luck so far.
-
I cannot get the verify stock to be correct. It keep loading a saved stl file from a month ago,so i deleted the old stl file. I changed config/verify interface/initial size/"stock setup" Now it loads a tombstone shape instaed of the cylinder in stock setup. My workaround use to be this.... I open another mcx file and run verify ,then switch back,and the stock would be correct. Now, it wont show a cylinder shape in the z axis ,no matter what i try.
