  10. how about doing the engraving under a differnt work offset?? maybe g56 and in the offset page tell it a axis is-90. then it will give you code as if it is at a0 but you told it in the offset page to be at a-90 ????

  19. we made a quick easy fixture locator pallet using on our reciever pallet 1/2-13 threded inserts with a .625 id drill bushing over top and on the on off pallet milled and c-bored for a .6245 od stripper bolt the bolt goes thru top fix c-bored below top and into bottom pallet locating thru drill bushing into 1/2-13 thredes 4 or 6 locator per fix and it works great and cheaper than other systems we saw hope that helps ???
  20. we use solidworks and do engraving like this just have it extruded into surface like .01 deep then it will come into mcam as a sldprt parasolid part
  21. reg> let me know how you make out i to am looking for a good clean pst for haas lathes i modified lpfan.pst to fix m3 m8 etc but threading and some other can text still isnt right??? guess after i learn wcs better ill take on post processing then some spelling classes
  22. i agree there are always limiting factors when sloting to pre drill or not?? but either way the slot function was a good add on to v9
  23. EXPERIENCE and add to your resume that your a mastercam forum member that should show them!!
