No the probe was never built in the post and I'm using Productive plus thru Mastercam. 

Hello All,

I need some help with a post that I have that I want to add the Renishaw probing content too.  I have down loaded the MP Master post that has probing and post I want to change is an old MP Master post that is edit for an Okuma Horz. 

I added what is missing to my post using the other MP Master post as a guide and I can not post any probe code. Is there something I am missing?

Hello All,

It seems that I'm having a problem with my gen haas 4th axis post from 2017. I'm trying to limit the the 4th axis from winding to high and alarming the machine out. I looked up 4th axis limit here on the forum and tried them to no great out come. I went in the machine def and changed the number of degrees under travel limits and that it not work at all.

I down loaded the MPmaster and tried that also, the change:

one_rev     : 1     #Limit rotary indexing between 0 and 360? (0 = No, 1 = Yes)

That did nothing also

Any ideas of where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Hello All,

I have a question for you guys. I have an Anilam Crusader II that is 3 axis, and I'm trying to figure out how to put tool length and cutter comp in the machine in the program. I'm using an old post that I updated that Mastercam had from V7 or V8. Right now I'm using X9 and 2017.

the  question is: does anybody have an old program that they would let me see so I can see how the programs looks like with multiple tools in it,  I can not get the idea what the code should look like when you put in the tool lengths and were the cutter comp goes, I think in the next line but what does t look like?. I have the manual but it's pretty vague on how to do it.

Thanks

Thanks Ernie

Cool, nice to hear that you are getting the same problem.

I've seen block skip used..../M8

Could just keep the door shut

I do the block skip here. It's great when you are proofing out lathe programs.

Hello All,

Is there a toggle or switch for me to put so I can turn on the coolant short cut in the operation manager? I know in X6 there it is in the individual toolpaths just under the toolpath but not on X7.

Thanks

Rob

I can send you my config file if this helps I saved it.

Jim

I checked out my as per Crazy mill turn suggested and it was huge!! if this helps.

Jim,

Sorry I did not get back yesterday, I will do what you suggested on customizing my icons and my confg. on your questions about a crash repost, no I did not get one. The software would start but then as soon as it open it closed. The other time it would start but it would take a long and I mean a long time to start up. When it did you try to open a part file you could not rotate or do anything to the part. On the virus software I'm just running microsoft security essentials.

Thanks all for your help.

Rob

Crazt Mill turn,

When I uninstalled and reinstalled it worked great for a couple of times then started again so I call my reseller. Trevor, at San Diego CADCAM told me do to just that with the config. It started with out a problem remade my toolbars and config file bam now it just crashes as so as I start it. I will check for the icons and see what is in there. Quick question can you inlighten me on where is the registry window 7?

Thanks I will give it a try.

Brewster,

That sounds like what I'm going through right now, I uninstalled it twice but how do you remove the registry keys? What do you mean by remaning Mcamx7 to back up?

Hello All,

Do anyone out there having a problem with Mastercam crashing? It was working great since I down loaded and installed it until today. For some reason when I start it up it starts and then crashes right away. I reinstalled it twice, checked my hasp driver for the lasted verisions and it's good. Any ideas?

What kind of 5x machine is it?

Need to change the program name and/or program number to be the same.

I noticed this too, I thought it was my computer ( i have a cheap HP ). I usually save, close and restart works for me. It's a pain thou. Never though about the ram saver, I will try it to see if it works.

Here is a half a$$ way of doing it. Cut the part, then find the angle you are off to the threads and rotate the geometry to match the thread starting point.

Hello All,

Is it possible create a drop down or put in the icons of the machine simulation in the operations manager and if so, how hard will it be? Something like Mastercam does with the solid drop down in the operation manager or the other icons that are in the operations manager. I know that you can not put icons in the operation manager too ( sorry but I don't mean to be a smart a$$). It kind of makes sense that it would be there instead of in a tool bar.

Thanks
