John, I worked on this problem for an hour. I assumed this was lathe job. (interesting challenge). It looks like the point common to the two radii will vary in x and z as the diameter of the part changes. It seems possible to quantify algebraically but would be very complicated and alot of algebra for a macro. Good luck. Andy

Thanks, got me pointed in the right direction. Actually it was checked and un-checking "Support coolant using coolant value (provides backward compatability for old posts)" made it work. Anyway, another brick in the wall! Thank you

Post was outputing m8 m9 perfectly in VX Now VX2 mr2 there is no coolant output. What do I have to change now. Boy this is agrivating. V9 to VX was bad enough but I thought that would be the last of it. Lost 2 hours so far today. Thanks

DUUUUUH! Worked. Thank you John!!!

In the control def it is greyed out and says "configuration mode" and cannot be changed"

All of a sudden the post dialogue is not defaulting .nc extension. (Lathe) In mill it is fine. In lathe, the config is set the same and control post processing dialog is "configuration mode"(greyed out as it is in mill). WTF Any ideas? Andy

We also find that flamecut materials work great for jobs you dont have to machine!

I mostly do 2 and 2 1/2 also. I have solids, but only use it as a design tool for myself and to show my customers what a part or assembly might look like.

Dont forget to flip the threading tool over if you use Daniel's method.

Crazy, Im using x2mr2? Andy

Thanks Colin

Actually, I did set up note pad and made its window tall and narrow to the right of screen and had to shrink MC to fit on left. Then I could copy and paste, but my tool bars would mess up on the shrink. I usually use MC in max window. Great idea on the MRU I didn't know that. It turns out the MRU can only be set to 10 max entries however. Maybe they will make something inside MC someday to do this sort of thing.

Is there a way to speed up data entry to save typing values in again and again. For example, have a short list pulldown (20 common values I use often) to use in a drag and drop to value windows when needed?

That is the one thing I do not like about regrounds. Who pays attention anyway?

3rd string, It sure seems like this would be the logic. if (mi1$ < 1 or mi1$ > 2) & (mi1$ < 81 or mi1$ > 82), mi1$ = 85 "Or" instead of "&"
-
cncjb, After you are done with the g92 method use a G28 to cancel the 92 and return the machine coordinates.

When i updated my tool libraries from 9 to X a year ago it turned ALL the tools' coolants off. I was pissed, and was told to hand change them one at a time. So I did and did not smile! All the money I pay for MC and Maintenance and have to do crap like that. Dont get me wrong I like my MC just so much seemingly unecessary stuff. Just ONE of the reasons I hated the X changeover.

My reseller doesn't send disc unless I ask for it.

I had a problem with outputs being x,y not x,z about 6 months ago. But it turned out to be the post would not update to X properly. With your problem your only getting x's, which, as you said, would be very frustating. Sorry, no help.

I know, I'm welcome

Never mind, found it in settings/config/chaining! Thanks

Is there some way to make the chain manager default to chain, not partial?
-
Setdir was much simpler. This has been a beef for me for a long time now.

You mean I have been paying maintenance for lathe all this time for NOTHING?????
