so we got an old hitchi seki with a fanuc control i am using cimco to talk to it. programs go in and out. the problem is when i send them from the lathe to cimco it leave open lines between the code. not a big deal but if i send the program back the spaces are all end of blocks witch is a problem. it looks like this going into cimco GO G90 X1. Z.1 BIG SPACE BIG SPACE G1 X0 Z0 F.5 BIG SPACE BIG SPACE G0 X1. Z.1 BIG SPACE BIG SPACE You get the picture what setting am i missing? thank you for looking

i will take thread mill for a 1000 Alex's. how do you do a 4 start thread? i never done it thread milling. i am assuming 4 tool paths one at 0 the next at 90 then 180 and 270. just asking is this right? thanks

what about dirtying the op with wear or a warning ?

hello all. in short as i can. x4 file open it with x6 how do i control the machine def automatically? in other words i want the x6 machine def rules to over power anything that was done in x4 or older. one example would be wear comp was aloud in x4 in x6 it will not be. so how can or can it stop an existing file or made into a dirty tool path? PS i do not want to start a thread post on why i don't what wear comp aloud. if it does start i will just delete the posting i just want the answer.

sorry how do i undo the multi posting?
