Hello, Is there anyway to open up a file from the Solidworks vault through Mastercam? Right now we have to open Solidworks or Solidworks explorer and find the file in the vault and then save to folder outside the fault.. Seams to me that there should be a c-hook or something where we can by pass this and go straight to the vault.. Thanks

I noticed when I changed to a generic VMC post the pull down menu had the correct tap without peck... Why does the MPmaster not have this?

Hello, For some reason my Mpmaster post will only post a peck tap with my G84.. Is there a setting in the control or machine file that sets this in the pull down menu? Or is it a post thing?

Hello, I have a Mpmaster edited post that I need to post a G15 H1 where the G54 is posting.. How do I make this happen? So G54 is G15 H1 and G55 would be G15 H2 and so on... Thanks

Thanks guys that worked.. I changed it to 0 on the brk_max_ang : 1 line.. It it posts the way I want it to... But if I have more involved programs I will switch back to 1 or 15... Thanks

Ok I put it in there... It is named B Axis 1 Deg...... Thanks

Any ideas on this? I can email you the Mastercam file to look at....

Here is my planes screen shot...

Ok created four test planes front,right,back,left... It still posts the 1deg inc... Also I posted it with this post Generic Fanuc 5X Mill and it didn't post the 1deg increments like the Generic Haas VF-TR_Series 5X Mill did..

It is four flats in the center of the cylinder channel only.. So the flat is not the whole side just a channel.. Thanks

Yes I can share the file.. Let me know where you want it... Send me a email or somewhere you want me to send it.. Thanks

Hello, We have a Haas VF TR Series 5X Mill.. We are using the Generic Haas VF-TR_Series 5X Mill post file and GENERIC HAAS VF-TR_SERIES 5X MILL control file.

I know this is a old post. But I am looking for a X5 or X6 post for a 1994 Bridgeport 308 Discovery Machine we have here. Is was told the DX32 Bridgeport Post Processor should work.. Does anyone have this post? Thanks

Awesome... Thank you again..

Hello, Where do you set the max spindle speed in Mpmaster? Is it pst or control file? Thanks

Thank you.. Worked awesome...

Hello, How can I make my edited mpmaster post like below. This needs to be the first thing at the top of the program. $THE PROGRAM NAME.MIN% The program name needs to be what I call it in Mastercam.... but not sure where to put the name in Mastercam for the post to read it there.. Thanks
