I only got to see my program run, when it is BAD NEWs.When the prog. is NFG that the programmer go to the floor to fix it.

THANKX Jimmy.

You got it right on the money.

IT is.

G0G90G53 X0.Y9.0

Stupid me.

CNC MILL FADAL VMC4020

GE FANUC series 18i-MB5

I still could not understand why that the G28 x0. Y9.0 suppost to move the machine table to the home center and closer to the operator. Machine table x0,y0 is in the center of the table.

But the Y axis move to Y9.0 then back to Y0 and stop there ??

That how my NC prog.

What is that sucking sound??????????

We heard it here in Canada ....

Steve,

I can't open Mastercam and when I look into folder some dir were gone. So the IT guys said, I f***** up and he kind of "repair" it but all my setting were gone.

Sad. What a howling night...

Now I am up and running but all those tooling and OP. were gone ..after all that bloody years ...no tear to cry .. I hope someone learn it from my mistake.

I have to re-install my MR2 this morning because the MR2 CRASHED after the Halloween night?

System: Mcax MR2 level 2, mill

Now I have to reset all my setting. My question is how do you all back up your setting so that such thing happened you could just move things around and have what you used to be.

What file or folders to backup? and where?

HAPPY the day after ....

THANKS Guys >>>

All set, back to business.

My D0/UNDO icon is missing ?

Somehow I have removed it my mistake. Now I cannot find it.

Is there anyway that I can save my setting so that even I made a mistake. When I re-open my Mcax again all the setting will be the same.

HOW ?

Please share.

For Alum. I usaully use 3/4" dia spot drill with 90 deg Incl. Run at S3000 F12 with G82.

#if stpgrpname <> snull, pbld, n$, pspc, "(TOOLPATH GROUP - ", stpgrpname, ")", e$

Still can not find those lines in my Post ??

John is a good Postman

//Keep an eye out for ops not importing like they should. I reported it a few months back. It's not consistant. Some G83 cycles import as G81. Tapping cycles get switched around too.//

Thad,

I noticed that on the Define Tool Page,

At parameter section. Cycle : drill/cbore. tap etc

On the m6 tap hole it was set for drill/c/bore not Tap. Could that caused the problems ?

jimic

How to do it ?

I am working to have a clean post without any editing.

How do I change my Fadal Post so that on my Nc file. The option that I called up ??

On the output Comment to NC file

- output group name

- output operation commemt to Nc

- machine name

That output will be below the file name.

%

O12345 (12345)

(output group name)

(output operation commemt to Nc)

(machine name)

....

Right now that have it in On top of every toolchange.!!!

Thankx

P/s Peter might have the right answer for me

Autodrill Can't pick up the right drill size. ??

For ex. 1/4 " ream hole.It looking for .245" drill . That suppose to be LTR B drill (.238" )

Thanks Thad. I got the it.

John,please be more specify.

You mean using import and export feature ?

Which is the faster way to program different sizes of tap holes and ream holes in a part?

Is that any option once I selected the holes size to be tap or ream then it could output spot drill , drill and reaming tools. So That I don't have to go to the library to select it individualy.

I am usimg McamX MR2 level-2.

I am using Mcamx MR2 level-2

???

I can't find prmdef.dll at the chool dir

????

That how my setup right now:

Startup: None

Exit : None

Default: TRIME.dll

Woooow........

John you are right on the money baby

Many thanks.

Only today I found out from the operator ours Fadal mahine with Fanuc control cannot read Tapping speed with period mark, such as S200. or S198.3 That will create a prog error. So the operator edit the prog to remove the period mark to read S200 or S198

Where the period mark came from?

Generated by the Post or Tapping setting ?

If from the Post, how can change it without period mark in the Post?

Thanks.
