Im having a Joint

K. M. A. Hardmill. see a shrink.

The idiot who said I used my Machine for verification

Is Solidcam any good. Do they have a bug list.

I just looked at the "What's new" and it only gives you a list of Bug Fixes. Surely there should be a list of bugs/issues available to all users. I should not have to crash an expensive machine in order to find oout if there is an issue.

Where can I find a list of bugs/unresolved issues if there is such a list. Also I was wondering if there is a timeline for resolving these issues.

Is there a way to insert block delete without having to insert it manually.

Don could I have some info too? Thanks

Chris, we would never even condider interpolating a bore with that tolerance. Thanks for all the help guys. This is a great forum.

Thanks Ron-these look pretty promising. Bronze is a b@#ch

Thanks Toolman. I will give it a shot-willing to try anything that might work. They have been having problems with these parts for years.

Has anybody ever used a Micro-Hone on a HAAS mill. We are trying to hold .0002 on a .5455 bore,the material is bronze and we are having a hard time holding the tolerance using a boring head.

Got it. Thanks Doug.

Where do I find the Post Parameter referance guide for X2?

Thanks Jim

How do I edit my post to output multiple offsets when I translate a toolpath. My post is only outputting one offset even though I have selected assign new.

John you have mail.

Thanks. What I am really trying to do here is to "copy" my operations to multiple fixture offsets G55 thru G59 and G154 P1 thru G154 P4.If I use translate it ask me for a distance,and if I use rotate it asks me for and angle etc. I have got the toolpaths to translate and rotate but not the way I want them. Basically I need to copy the ops to G55 X0Y0 G56 X0YO

It's still only posting 1 fixture offset. It repeats the toolpath 9 times ok,but in the same place.

Thanks John, when I use translate I select between points and steps 9 and under type and methods I select tool plane and check assign new, but I only get one offset value when I post.

How do I translate a toolpath to give me different offsets for example G55X0Y0,G56X0Y0. I need to translate the toolpaths to 9 different offsets that I have already probed.

Ok I figured it out. Translate.

I have a series of grooves I need to do in a bore, same geometry,but at different Z depths. I was wondering if there was a better way rather than having to copy each toolpath at different Z depths. Thanks

Hi John,yes the information was helpfull. I just spoke with the reseller and hopefully he can modify the post.Because I don't really know where to start. Basically speaking I need to output the code above. I am probing a bolt pattern and each hole has to be individually probed because of geometry attributes

How do I modify a post(drilling cycle) to output the following code % O77777 (PROBING PROGRAM) T20 M06 G00 G90 G54 X0 Y0 G43 H20 Z0.5 G01 Z-0.3 F25. (Probe Bore) (WrkOfset = 54.) (Diameter = 0.5) G00 G90 G65 P9023 A1. D0.5 S54. G00 Z1. G00 G55 X0 Y0 G01 Z-0.3 F10. (Probe Bore) (WrkOfset = 55.) (Diameter = 0.5) G00 G90 G65 P9023 A1. D0.5 S55. G00 Z1. G00 G56 X0 Y0 G01 Z-0.3 F10. (Probe Bore) (WrkOfset = 56.) (Diameter = 0.5) G00 G90 G65 P9023 A1. D0.5 S56. G00 Z1. G28 G91 Z0 G28 Y0 M30 %
