Thank you for your time gents. I do have Vericut for every machine that we have in the shop. With 5 axis work, we start with Solidworks which we have a Master file that has everything build in such as loading limit, machine travel, spindle......etc. In recent year, I have a feeling that Mastercam just getting better, So may be it is time to give it a shot again. Moreover, it is more convenient if i can use Master cam machine simulation to verify my program then I dont have to go back and forth a lot between mastercam and Vericut.

Thank you Mr. I knew that I will have a hint from you and it is just a matter of time. The reason for doing this is I just want Master Cam Machine simulation get closer with reality which sometime will help me to verify the machine travel limit in X Y Z and I already ran into a few parts that really pushing the machine window. May be there is a easier way to get it done but I just dont know how. Again thank you for your help.

Any one? Please.

Hi guys, Right now , Mastercam machine simulator showed my machine home at center X0Y0 and acctualy my machine home position should be on upper right corner at X7.9 Y7.16535 from center. Is there any way we can change it and How? Thank you in advance.

ThankS Guys.

Thank You.

Good morning Guys, I would like to send my tool home in Z-axis and X Y to a fixed location (x-19.5 Y+11.5 and always calculate from center of my machine) before any rotation move. Can any one give me a sample code for this in Heidenhain control. Thank you in advance.

Let me know exactly what you want. I will help you out.

Thank you for the info. For sure I will look into it the future but now I have a task and I have to get it done asap.... I used to get a lot of helps from this forum... just wonder where all the macro's guru went...

More help Please!!!!

Hello all macro expert. Still it is not working. PLEASE help!!!

Thank you guys. I will give it a try as soon as I have a machine open. Tinhman

Good morning all, Please help with this macro. I dont know what I am missing but my wear offset is not adding up the right value after the first run. Machine is Mazak with fusion control.

Thank you very much for all the help guys. I am going to use 5/8 EM 4F ( RobbJack XG-402-20) , 1800 RPM, 40 IPM, 1.0 LOC, .0375 (6%) step over. Is it a good starting point for dynamic milling?

Well, mostly, I have to mill out all the material all the OD of the part. So, The geometry kind of open space and not a lot of tight turn.
