I removed the .dll files from my c-hooks but it still does the error when loading. I'm not sure that was the problem because i was having the same issue before I loaded X4. I also have a problem when i try and use the help menu on any screen. Whenever I hit the help menu Mastercam shuts done. I spoke with my local dealer and he said that there must be an error in windows because the help menus in Mastercam are ran through windows. This problem just seems weird because it happens on ever computer we have Mastercam loaded on.

Mastercam X4 Windows xp service pack 3 Not sure if its considered an add-on but Vericut Interface

When i start a new session of Matercam an error pops up (The precdure entry piont GetProcessImageFileNameW could not be located in the dynamic link liberary PSAPI.DLL).

that worked thanks for the help

I have a part that is like a half moon shape and there are holes on the outer radius that I am putting in on a 4th axis indexer. I'm having trouble finding what angle each hole is at so i can set my WCS for each angle. I've tried to create an edge curve and then simplify to find the centerline of the hole but that isn't working. Is there any way that I can find out what angle the holes are at.

The 1st b-axis rotation B0. but 2nd b-axis rotation for the same tool is B90000. I would like the 2nd to read B90. % O1041(PROGRAM NAME 987-8329-011, OP2) (T20120 - 1/4 X 120 DEG SPOT DRILL - H20120 - D20120 - D0.2500") N10 G00 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90 N11 G91 G28 Z0.

I just purchased the Mastercam Interface for Vericut, but I'm missing the vericaut.dll file in my c-hooks. I was wondering is the .dll file kept in another location or do I have to download it from somewhere.

IF you look at code below you can see tools 11 and 1 are using work offsets G57 and G58. But the rest of the tool have no workoffset. T14 should use G57, T22 should use G57, T18 should use G58 AND G59. % O1894(PROGRAM NAME ) N100 G20 #146=16.( Z SAFETY DISTANCE ) #114=180.( ROTARY AXIS SHIFT ) #124=1.( NUMBER OF ROTARY AXIS SHIFTS ) #134=0.( INITIALIZE SHIFT COUNTER ) N101 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 ( 9/32 DRILL, 15-04-018 ) ( REV- ) ( DRILL CLEAR FOR SIDE HOLES ) N102 T11 N103 G0 G91 G30 X0 Y0 Z0 M6 N104 T1 M01 WHILE [#134 LE #124] DO 1 N105 G90 G00 B[0.+[#134*#114]] N106 M8 N107 G0 G90 G58 X.455 Y10.856 S4753 M3 N108 G43 H11 Z#146 N109 G08 P1 N110 G98 G83 Z.54 R1.36 Q.1969 F35.7 N111 Y7.356 N112 Y3.176 N113 Y-.324 N114 G80 N115 Z#146 #134 = #134 + 1 END 1 #134 = 0 N116 M09 ( 3/4 DIA. 2 FLUTE STUBBY E.M., 9-06-012 ) N117 G08 P0 ( REV- ) ( MILL THICKNESS ) N118 T1 N119 G0 G91 G30 X0 Y0 Z0 M6 N120 T14 M01 WHILE [#134 LE #124] DO 1 N121 G90 G00 B[90.+[#134*#114]] N122 M8 N123 G0 G90 G57 X.1428 Y11.841 S12000 M3 N124 G43 H1 Z#146 N125 G08 P1 N126 Z1.025 N127 G1 Z.925 F200.

When I post the .MCX file about half of the program will have my work offset at tool changes or axis rotations. Then for some reason the rest of the program is missing the work offset at tool changes or axis rotations. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my post or maybe even Machine Definition. Can anyone help me fix this?

Colin, I got it figured out thanks alot for the help. I created a format Assignment line.

i'm sure they aren't formatted either but I,m not sure how to do that.

They are coming from the WCS View Manager in the lower right of the window there are x, y, and z positions for the origin.

I'm trying to post x, y and z origin into my NC file. Master cam interprets the parameter as a part of the code. The post code looks like this: code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "#510=", t_orgin_x$, "( X DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 )", e$ "#511=", t_orgin_y$, "( Y DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 )", e$ "#513=", t_orgin_z$, "( Z DISTANCE FROM TOP OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 )", e$ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the nc is posted it looks like this: code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #510= t_orgin_x$ 15.825 ( X DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 ) #511= t_orgin_y$ 1.595 ( Y DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 ) #513= t_orgin_z$ 1.312 ( Z DISTANCE FROM TOP OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like the nc to look like this: code: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #510= 15.825 ( X DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 ) #511= 1.595 ( Y DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 ) #513= 1.312 ( Z DISTANCE FROM TOP OF 3R CHUCK TO PART 0 ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can anyone help me?

I'm using G10 comands to set work offset in the Machine Tool. I would like to know if its posible to have the WCS x, y, and z values located in WCS View Manager, Origin (in view coordinates) posted out on my G10 line. I'm using the newest version of Mastercam and just want to know if this is posible and if anyone can help me with this.
