Sorry,

I apologize for my impatience. I found it

Any list of new features ?

Thanks Crazy millman,

a sample of code output.

You can use a custom drill cycle to output the "macro" call.

WOW, i feel old. Like the name states, started in V3. Didn't even have "drafting" until V3.1 i believe.

This topic should be a "sticky". i was just thinking about this, what a fast way to get the information.

I ended up making custom tools and moving the tool geo. But I agree 100% it should be from the face.

Go to classicshell.net. Makes win 10 look like win 7. Works great.

This is from a modified MPMILL post.

Does your answer lie in these 2 lookup tables ?

I need help for the post guru's.

I have been researching this forum for an answer to this. I cannot find one. I have been beating my brains out for a week with no luck.

My tooltable looks like this :

The above is unedited straight from the post.

Has this ever been solved. I know one of you BUFFER guru's has figured this out.  

My beer budget is taking a beating over this one.

Take a look at this site. Most of these units bolt right to the floor if its thick enough.

To the moderator. This topic is very informative and helpful !! Would it be possible to get it pinned.

The link gives stress relieving info for UHMW. I worked at a shop where this was a common practice.

I have had this in the past. My remedy was to turn on just that level, unblank, ALL, All enities, hit the green button. nothing would appear on the screen. I then hit delete,ALL, All enities, hit the green button. The entity count would then go to zero. But I have to save the file and restart MC to get the rest of the entities to show up. 

Is it possible you lost some parameters when the machine was disconnected from power ?

"Stays ups until closed not close on the esc key."

I wish this box would act like the "operations manager" or "Levels" boxes. It is an important part of my programming.I wear out my RMB constantly opening and closing it every day.

You should be able to open and dock this window until the session is ended.

I would like to see a comprehensive and detailed list of the "XML" file settings and what each one does instead of constantly searching the forum for different "setting" tweaks.

Started in v3.0 in MSDOS. No drafting in Mastercam. If you screwed up you started over or pieced together the NCI file. No REGEN or little red "X". First Computer 386SX, math coprocessor,

80 Megabyte HD and 4megs of sims. 14" svga "color monitor". 640 x 480 resolution. $3,000.00. You became an expert editing the NCI files back then.

If you are still interested, I rewrote the renishaw macro O9852.nc

so your wear offset is the difference between the size entered in the tool table and actual measured size. I.E. .500 endmill measures .498, offset will have a value of -.002 instead of .498

To expand on the drag and drop, it would be pretty useful to be able to run more then one instance of MC, and be able to not only merge files, but drag and drop tool groups or operations. I make templates now but when you are digging through stuff it would be pretty slick to just drag and drop instead of making a template file.

+100 ON THAT

view manager to work like level manger i.e. stay open all the time

Best tip on this "new" verify I have seen yet !

• I agree 100%. I can watch at home without ten people bugging me, or swearing all I'm doing is playing on the internet all day.
