  1. Hey:

     

    Under the misc. integers... I have G28 X0., G28 Y0, or G28 X0.Y0.

     

    pretract

    etc etc

     

    pbld, n$, sgabsinc, *sg28ref, "Z0.", e$

    g28_rtrn = prv_mi7$ #Set flag for safe toolchange position

    pbld, n$, *sg28_rtrn, e$

     

    Then make a string select like this...

     

    #Safe Toolchange Position

    sg280

    sg28X0 "G28 X0." #reference return in "X"

    sg28Y0 "G28 Y0." #reference return in "Y"

    sg28XY0 "G28 X0. Y0." #reference return in "X" and "Y"

    sg28_rtrn #Target string

     

    fstrsel sg280 g28_rtrn sg28_rtrn 4 -1

     

     

    Hope this helps....

  2. Guys:

    it is like our old version of "cnc reg"... standard windows -vs- mastercam... I have seen this also... If it is set to Mastercam ... there is a huge delay...by setting it to "standard windows"... it opens rather quickly...

     

    In Mastercam "X" the 'cnc reg" is part of the control panel in Windows...

     

    I also recently had one that the customer wanted the "mastercam" (bitmap) but it was slow to open... I went to the hardware accelerator and changed it to "one click" above none.. it worked... Hmm dumb luck I guess... but it worked

     

    Hope I can help

  3. Lars:

     

    Manual entry was changed quite a bit... you can copy the Pcomment 2 post block form the generic 3 axis mill post and copy it into your "v8" post... a couple of simple little edits and your on your way... if you have any questions, please give a a shout...

  4. Shawn:

     

    just checked with "support" as well ... seems to be broken at the moment... I believe it writes out to a "prm" file then it reads back in... It is now submitted as a "bug"

     

    Thanks
