Ok - but it would still be a viable solution for off-line programming - you can program in Mastercam upto 5-axis milling and also for mill/turn and output to Mazatrol.
I am placing this help wanted on behalf of our customer -it's also posted on the CNC Software web site.

thanks for the offer bu the demo is done and they seemed pretty satisfied. At this point they are looking for a reference - an MC user using this kind of setup
Hi Crazy,
Thanks for the response. I am well aware of the status of MC vs others on MMT. This is a single turret machine and the customers are doing very straightforward parts and I feel that MC is more than capable enough for them. There is no Synching no wait codes no pinch turning etc.
Hi All,
I have a prospective customer who has this machine and is looking for a reference site using this machine w/ MC.
It would be ideal if you had the same machine , but something similar would do also.i.e Main Spindle,Sub-Spindle, C-axis on both spindles , Y axis and live -tooling (and bar feeder).
Thanks in Advance
Thanks everybody for your input - has anybody worked with the latest versions of EZ-Mill - and are there any specific features that really highlight the differences ?
Hi All,
I see a lot of Ez-Cam product in my area - I'm looking for some good competitive info - specifically in 3d machining capability - thanks in advance
If on the PC side I would make the file read only under your windows security settings - making sure that only you and the administrator have editable rights
As far as the setup sheet goes - would not know offhand - but I would suggest trying the standard setup sheet as well as IHS and X+ which may give better results.
To force a variable to output in the post you need to place an asterisk '*' in front of variable
for example in the post the line which outputs G1 moves is under the postblock plinout
as below
plinout #Output to NC of linear movement - feed
punclamp
pcan1, pbld, n$, `sgcode, sgplane, sgabsinc, `sgfeed, pccdia,
xout, yout, zout, p_out, s_out, `feed, strcantext, scoolant, e$
if nc_lout$ <> m_one & feed = zero, psfeederror
pclamp
change xout to *xout, yout to *yout, zout to *zout, p_out ( primary axis output = rotary in this case) to *p_out and s_out (secondary axis = trunnion ) to *s_out - you will need to look in other parts of the post where these variabes are output and change them accordingly
