I've been out for about 5 years so bear with me. In x2 I had a Chook that I got from someone on here. I had a cam lift table with degrees and amount of lift off of the base circle. I remeber opening it up and it would ask for the excel file, the base circle diameter and if I wanted points or a spline. I can't for the life of me remeber what it was called and I am searching now but not having any luck can someone help me out? Thank you

I can't find where you are talking about. It is in the post right? Where at exactly?

In my lathe live tooling post it is always changing my offsets if I do 60 gear teeth it does 60 offsets. Some where in my post can I change it so if Its always on the main spindle it will use G54? What and Where would I put it?

I have been able to rotate a C axis cross contour toolpath in X2 I have X3 now. It throws an alarm when you try it and if I try to do it I get strange rapid moves at the end of my depth cuts on every cut but the original. It says try the tool plane method. Anyone?? I am trying to cut 60 teeth on the OD but I don't know the Toolplane method. I could rotate cross contour toolpaths in X2 Whats the deal??

That was the problem. Thanks

Find overlap C hook not working in X3 I need this feature. Is anyone having issues with it?

you could have waited at least two minutes to answer. It would have made me feel better. Thank you very much John

I now have X3. When I post a drill cycle (lathe) I get CUSTOMIZABLE DRILL CYCLE X0. Z(finish depth) I just want it to peck long hand. I can't remeber what to change Some one help me out here I know this..... Thanks

It isn't working......any other ideas???

I will give it a try thank you very much

I have been trying to cut a part Using C-Axis Face contour. I have the endmill going right through X0.0 on the machine (the center of a 7" piece of round aluminum). The toolpath shows good on MC but when I run it. The endmill goes around X0.0 It makes an arc around the center. I don't know what to do. Thank you

I get that a lot no idea on how to help you. I do a stock transfer and everything just goes to H. I delete the operation and try it again it usually works. I feel your pain.

project on a surface?

2) If your stock to remove on one step is less than the nose radius of the insert MC will ignore it sometimes, particularly with Canned toolpaths, so you may need to drill the hole smaller in MC than it really is in order to prevent this. I do that offten.

Stock recognition to use stock for outer boundry?
