Try changing your work offsets for each operation (or rotation) from -1 to 0. This should get the output you are looking for. HTH

I agree with Machineguy. Try posting the program to another usb. Sometimes different usb drives act different on different machines. Our VF6 has no problem with my usb drive. I put it in our VF9 and sometimes I have issues. I don't know why this happens but it does.

There is a speed control slider at the bottom of the backplot window. Make sure it is to the right of center. hth

I have been a little frustrated with a lot of the new toolbar icons. Not just the verify button. I feel like the toolbar icons in X7 and previous versions were a lot easier to identify than the new look in X8.

This would be my approach. I feel like a sharp carbide EM will give you better results than a facemill.

This would be a very beneficial addition. It would definitely make the process of using viewsheets more efficient. I would use this feature a lot.

I have noticed this as well. You can still do what you want to do but you have to click the end of your number in just the right place. Or you can click in between the digits in the -.300 and cursor over to the end and type in your -.025. Just clicking in the blank space beside your number doesn't seem to me to be working like it should.

Yes. It is 43 in the parameters and not the settings. And I always look at positive rotation as counter clockwise or turning the top of the part toward the back of the machine and rotating toward the positive side of the part. This is with the A axis sitting on the right side of the table and facing the left side. I guess it all depends also on which way your part is orientated to the A axis as well though.

Under parameter 43 in the HAAS controller is where you change the direction of the A axis. "REV ENCODER", and "REV POWER". If they are set to 0 then set them to 1 and visa versa. This should give you the rotation you need. HTH

What is the 2D/3D toggle switch at the bottom of your screen set to? Sometimes this can affect where you can select a point.

I believe he is referring to these check boxes

Ok great! Thanks JMC

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why my program is posting like it is. All I am wanting it to do is move to A45. and rotate the around the B axis to drill the three holes around the part. Instead it is rotating the A axis from A45. to A-45. then back to A45. I feel like my file is set up correctly but I'm not sure if there is something I am missing in the in the machine or control definition or if it is something with the post. I am using the generic haas 5ax trunnion mill post and running X8. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. 600004-A-20.mcx-8

I could not live without the level manager! I would like to see a drag and drop option however. Select the entities you want to move to another level and drag them over the level manager and drop them into the level you want to move them to. Not sure if this would even be possible but it would be a neat improvement and a lot less clicks.

Hey Dave, There are also other ".workspace" files under the config folder. I had to change the setting under lathe.workspace on one of our computers this morning to get it to work. I figured this was because our 2 mill seats were in use at the time so mastercam opened up under a lathe seat.
