I have a 4-axis job that the geometry on the top plane has more entities than the bottom plane. I have put a file on the ftp site in the WIRE folder named edm4-e2.mc7, it is a sample file. What my question is, is there a way to associate the top geometry (magenta) to the bottom (green) so they have the same amount of entities. The sample has the bottom geometry brokened up already, I was just wondering how it was done. Hope I xplained myself well. Thanks, Guy

There are no dumb questions.This is how we all learn. Guy

That worked great on the Mpfan.pst, now I'll see if can implement(sp) that info on the post I'm using.Thanks for your time TheePres. Guy

Hey guys and girls, I would like to add a zero before the decimal but only on the 'z' values. Where on the pp file should I look. My Fanuc control will only search for Z0.05, and not Z.05, it gives me an alarm. NOW: T1M06 G00G90X-.733Y.3867S3000M3 G43H1Z3.M08 G1Z.075F50. Z.02F15.

One of the guys in the shop will always say " Little less talk, little more work " and he's one of the big mouths. Guy

Thad, You can use the x-form,squash select all entities and leave the default at 0. Everything selected will be at that depth. HTH Guy

BAD BOY. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. [ 07-11-2002, 12:46 PM: Message edited by: Guy Arseneault ]

Glad I could help. Again this forum is awesome, wished I new of it earlier. Guy

I had same problem. The 'h' value was different than 't' value. d0gFartz recommend I do this ........ quote: Screen Configure,NC Settings,Operation Defaults,Select Defaults.df9,right click and go into Job Setup,look for the Tool Offset Registers-its set to add 1 to length 20 to diameter...........set them to 0 and 0.......oh and make sure after you save the change to the mill9.cfg or whatever your cfg file is namedGuy p.s. thanks again d0gFartz

This clock will never be stolen because the employees(sp) are busy watching it. Seen it in a pizza shop. Guy

GOOD LUCK SCOTT

Forum members, In ver9 the tool length output (H) is 1 # greater than my tool #(T). Where can I change this default so that both the T# and the H# are the same? I last was in ver7 and never had that problem before. what it out puts in ver9: T5M06 G00G90X.1029Y-.0171S4500M3 G43H6Z3.M08 what I want it to output: T5M06 G00G90X.1029Y-.0171S4500M3 G43H5Z3.M08 Hope I xplained it well.

To download a file from the FTP site, right click on the file and select "Copy To Folder..." and then specify the folder to place the file. This was taken from the ftp instruction's page. Guy

You need to download file called "tscc.exe" from the same folder. It's a decompresser(sp)for the video.It worked for me. Guy

Thanks

two words, I want to hardcopy all 4 views at once. Guy

Hi everybody, I would like to if possible to print a 4-view drawing. MasterCam help says you can, but I get only one view to print. Using v9sp1. Thanks, Guy

Whenever I use snapshot, I always set the level to a level not being used. This way whatever is created I know is junk I can delete carefully. Guy [ 06-26-2002, 02:12 PM: Message edited by: Guy Arseneault ]

Roy, I believe that is for surfaces only.But that does look cool though. Guy [ 06-14-2002, 12:55 PM: Message edited by: Guy Arseneault ]
