is there a convenient method whereby a customer just give me all his points(coordinates)in maybe an editor text,and i can just automatically input inside mastercam to get all the points out?this is mcam8.
yes i would think so,without a lead in and lead out lines,the machine will alarm out even if you use arc in and arc out without any linear lead in or lead out.
i would liked to know better how to use cutter compensation{mcam8}.eg. i would put a left in computer and also a left in control.then i would key in the wear values at the machine.for example a -0.02 mm in wear,this compensates per side.also in lead in/out parameter,entry and exit values shold be half the cutter diameter with tangential entry and exit .is that right?can anybody confirm?
My post (fanuc default MPV8.1)even with a pwcs doesnt output any work offsets,i thought it will do automatically.now i am using a MI=2 for G54 output even though in my tool plane it was greyed out -1?!
