  1. Hi, I want to export the Mastercam STICK font into Windows fonts folder. I see Drafting(stick)Font within Mastercam as a font choice, but what I don't see is the stick font file within the Mastercam installation files on my computer. Is the stick font file (within mastercam / common / font files)called something other than "stick"?
  2. ...due to vertical tool, indicate initial C value" Huh? The simulation of my program looks good, but at the CNC machine, the C axis is 180 out. Any ideas?
  3. Thanks for the feedback. It turns out....I had the tool# (tool paramaters) set to "0". Mastercam needs a tool # to compute g-code. I entered "1" and now everything looks good as far as code. Wheeew! ;-)
  4. Pivot seems ok at ~12" As far as what the code should look like, it should be more like 10-inches in the X-dir and Z directions, not 60' and 24 FEET!
  5. Hello, neat forum. I'm new to MasterCam, but have created a simple 5-axis program to make sure my post is working properly. The problem is that when I post, the g-code spits out some unruley coordinates: N290 S18000 M03 N300 G01 G90 G52 L1 N310 G94 A0. C0. X0. Y0. F1000. N320 G01 A45.0022 C92.5047 N330 G01 X716.0212 Y-29.2216 F1000. N340 Z8. N350 M31 S18000 N360 Z-283.9167 My X and Z movements are way out of bounds. When I sent the Mastercam file to another mastercam programmer (different post) it posted fine for him. What settings can I tweak to make this work?
