  1. You could either change your XY clearance settings or entry at point. These are settings in the entry area, helix or ramp. HTH
  2. I deleted the o and all is fine. Thad, it didn't like it.
  3. Hello All, It is actually a generic question. I need to get the O from the first line of code, out of the code. My control will only take Numbers, not letters. I can't see in the Pheader section where it is. Please help.
  4. I have it worked out. I can't define the angle, it had to be tangent to an arc and through a point. Thanks anyways.
  5. John, I had to hold ctrl down to temp turn off the auto cursor. Thankyou. Thankyou.
  6. Thad, I am trying to create a line tangent to an arc and through a particular point. Angle unknown. Line has to go through point and be tangent to said arc. I used to be able to do this in V9?? Where am I going wrong??
  7. I searched for this post and am still very confused. I now need to create a line tangent to an arc and through a known point. The angle is unknown. I used to be able to do this in V9, but can't figure it out. Surely we don't have to do what Roger is suggesting??? Please help.
  8. You could analyze each one. Then compare mass.
  9. So, it sounds like it is doable. Thad, I know you have used Fadals and was hoping to hear from you. I might go and look at the machine today. Is there anything in particular that I should look for?
  10. Hello All. Anyone using this control to drip feed large files? Is it doable? What are the pros and cons of this control? Thanks in Advance for your input.

    Rotating

    Could someone tell me if the default rotation point is always the origin? It sure would be nice to know for sure, for sure. Thanks, Lee.
  12. Thankyou to both of you for your input.
  13. Is it possible? I sure hope so, and maybe without switching it off in config. That would just be a pain. Any ideas folks. TIA, Lee.
  14. It applies to everyone Jim. I'm sure you could get help with specific problems that you are having though.
  15. Randy, There are two areas you can play with. First in the Control Def. Linear Moves, it allows you to tell MC how you want to move your machine. Secondly, in the Post you can look at PLINOUT and look in there you can actually make a new line with the Z on if you like or vice-versa. Let me know if you need more specifics.
  16. Kim, I think you should give more specifics. I use this toolpath all the time. If you are using it in shallow areas you will get alot of retracts depending on your gap settings. Let me know if you need more help.
  17. IE7 all the way for me. Although i've never used firefox. I do like the new tabs in IE, you want another page, just click on the next tab. HTH.
  18. i'm not very good at displaying images apparently. click on the link username is mastercam password is swiss HTH.
  19. Bill, I think you are trying to merge files? Make a drawing of your machine, say a lathe. save it as your lathe. in your master layout, just merge the file into it. see below.
  20. Jim, are there any toolpaths in the files that cause you trouble?
  21. Jim, I just tried that here and all ok. Does it happen on the same file or different files?
  22. Samsung 24 wide screen 1920*1200 absolutely brilliant. No streching just more room for stuff.
  23. Ken, Did you get your printing to work for you?
