Read about it on my reseller website http://www.fastechinc.net/index.html http://www.robotmaster.com/index.php

Is this another one of the things the CNC is wasting its time with instead of making the current products better ????????????
-
Tried that, still the same output. Thanks for the help, I'm going to send it to my reseller, to have them check it out, because I must be missing some thing.

Ref. Return [0=G28,1=G30] G30 U0. V0. W0. M05 When I changed that it just output a G30 instead of the G28? Also tried changing the post and still the same output pmiscint$ #Capture the top level absinc for subprograms if sub_level$ <= zero, absinc$ = mi2$ ref_ret = mi3$ #home_type = mi1$
-
# mi1 - Work coordinate system: (home_type) # -1 = Reference return / Tool offset positioning. # 0 = G50 with the X and Z home positions. # 1 = X and Z home positions. # 2 = WCS of G54, G55.... based on Mastercam settings. home_type : 1 #Flag for type of home location, read from misc. int. Put the 1 in for home type and still got the same output? G28 U0. V0. W0. M05
-
I dont want it hard coded, that could be bad> I want it to come from my Home position I set in each operation. I guess another question is, one the Fanuc controller, is there a way to set where it goes home at with the "G28 U0. V0. W0. M05". Familar with the Fanuc control on a mill but not on a lathe.

Using the MPLFAN post that came with MasteCam. Is there a way for this post to output the home position as my User Defined Home Position instead of the "G28 U0. V0. W0. M05" that I am getting now? I want G0 X15 Z7 M05. Running X2 MR2 SP1. Thanks Mike

I cleaed out the file and changed the setting. My vidio driver is the newest, stupid Dell does not even put a vidio drive on a machine that is capible of using 2 monitors in the dule view mode. The originl one only supported the same view on both screens.

I have a Nvidia FX1700 card
-
Mine was set to let window decide, I chnged it to be proformance. I'll see how that works. Had 3 crashes in the 2 hours so I should know within an hour or so if that helped
-
XP is what I am running. I have my Auto save set also, so I can't loose too much work.

Recently updated to the newest version of MasterCam and got a new computer this week. I have been have problem with MasterCam locking up. I was doing surface milling the other day and it was doing it ever now and then, now today when I am doing simple lathe parts it is still doing it. Does any one know of any setting that I should changes from the "out of the box setting" that I stil have them at?

compatible graphic cards for mastercam x2 and solid works 08
M_CODE1 replied to masterman77's topic in Industrial Forum
I went with the Quadro 1700 on my new PC. Was having the same problem you are having. I ended up getting a whole new system since the motherboard was not compatiable with PCI Express card. Cant tell you how it work cuz IT does not have it configed yet. -
When I used the safty zone it used that zone for the retract for every tool
-
That would work but the Horizonal Dept supervior is not going to go for having them extra tool change lines in the program. I am trying to get the post work as closely as the way he programs on the floor, kinda a pain.
-
Guess I should of said what kind of machines we are running also. OKUMA HMC's
-
Wanted to check with others on how they do a retract before the B axis moves if the same tool is going to a different axis. At the last shop I worked at we used a subprogram that that bought tool or the pallet, depending on machine, all the back. A simple M98 P30 did this along with canceling some other thing. At my present job was told to give it a Z25 value before the Z moves. I could make a reference point of Z25 at the end of all OP's that are going to changes axis, but I was thinking that a post change would be better that way I can never forget to retract the tool. Any thoughts?

I'm only thru the first 3 pages and that tutorial already helped out quite a bit. Wish I could of had that about 2 yrs ago. Does Master Cam have any other Tutorial like this that I dont know about? Sure would be some good reading material at home in the bathroom.

The .mmd and .control files are in c:mcamx2-mr2cnc_machines directory The .pst files are in the c:mcamx2-mr2millposts directory. Copy them to an external device and move then to the other computers
-
I usualy right click in the toolpath parameter window and click on "save parameters to default file", after I have it setup like I want it
-
John, This was in the next entry, now it works FWIW, I was able to use Notepad on X2 by renaming 2VScene.ft and HoleAxis.ft to 2VScene.ft.bak and HoleAxis.ft.bak to supress the errors at startup.
-
Thanks John Guess I will have to try it out after I upgrade later on this week
-
Does this this only work for X2 MR2? I am running X2 and I got an error message when I opened up Mastercam, after installing it.
-
Well I guees that gives me reasonto upgrade from X2, to X2 MR2 SP1. Might as well wait till next week when my new computer come in.
