The guys at CAMplete have always been helpful anytime i reached out to them for help, they still are but a-lot of times their hands are tied now ever since autodesk took over. I knew this would happen though.

james, kyle this is what i received back from CAMplete.. Hi Jesse, CAMplete does not support posting the probing paths from external CAM systems. It does not have the ability to read the probing paths. Having said that, you can program your probing paths directly in CAMplete. For now, only the datum probing is supported and I don't know if any more development will be made on that front. jesse

good stuff.. we actually have cimco coming out tomorow to demo the cimco probing. i am using CAMplete to post for our matsuura mx-520 and our mazak variaxis i-300 and i was worried about this integration for the probing part of it. i already reached out to Danish from camplete but still waiting for his response.

just got done messing with this toolpath after not using it due to not working for me in the past. now its doing exactly what I need it to do for deep hole drilling. PLEASE!! do not break the toolpath.. on the above image under the enable event tab, change from ON to M08 or whatever code you use to turn on coolant. same for turning it off. hope it works for you. it worked perfect for me after changing. never mind, i re-read your post and see that you figured it out.

open all commands scroll down to position. I didn't have on my right mouse button. not that i want it there but was able to add it.

I just programmed a round part similar to the o.p but it had a little more detail in between 2 flanges with 5 axis pocket rough. I chained the same way with 2 curves not touching each other, used a stock model that i created from the turning operation to tell it where it had material. it kept the tool from coming outside the 2 curves. I didn't think it would work but it did.

it looks like the rad on your ballmill is larger than the one on the part. might have to use a smaller dia. ballmill.

in collision control tab.

sometimes mastercam wants to do weird s#@t. i find what I'm looking for and make it work and just go with it. as long as its a good pc and i don't crash the machine.. just the walls and floor.

just remove the stock model remove stock model.mcam

check out Mastercam's official YouTube channel. there's some really good stuff there also. I just had to reference to a video yesterday in the mastercam channel.

I agree with expanding the holder page to the right. 1 and 3 I set them in the defaults to my liking.

yes this will work. I always define my cutters as they are. had a part in 2021 for deburring some undercuts. the toolpath was good with the tool defined as Harvey described it. a few months later I opened up the file in mastercam 2022 and tried to run it with no success. everything on that toolpath was over tilting my table for overtravel. long story short, I got a hold of our mastercam reseller and was told to extend the cutting depth into the shank. that fixed everything for me. I do not like it, but it works.

something like this.
