An American tourist goes on a trip to China. While in China, he was very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom all the time. A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his xxxx covered with bright green and purple spots. Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor. The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, ordered some tests and told the man to return in two days for the results. The man returned a couple of days later and the doctor said : "I*ve got bad news for you. You*ve contracted Mongolian VD. It*s very rare and almost unheard of here. We know very little about it". The man looked a little perplexed and said : "Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, doc". The doctor answered: "I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate your xxxx". The man screamed in horror,Absolutely not! I want a second opinion". The doctor replied : "Well, it's your choice. Go ahead if you want, but surgery is your only choice". The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he*ll know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his xxxx and proclaims : "Ah,yes, Mongolian VD. Vely lare disease". The guy says to the doctor : "Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but what we can do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate my xxxx?" The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs :"Stupid Amelican docta, always want to opelate. Make more money, that way. No need to opelate!" "Oh, Thank God!", the man replies. "Yes", says the Chinese doctor, "you no worry! Wait two weeks; xxxx fall off by itself! You save money man..."

Chinese New Year just around corner. Weshes all chinese users in the forum, "GONG XI FA CAI". Happy chinese new year.

bhyde, Hope that will not late to reply you post. I also have face that problem once time. I cannot remember what I already adjusted. I'll try to recall my memory.(I used MPHEID,V8.1.1) 1. Filter If you used Filter,I very sure (I've check and found it)that the endpoint of the arc cannot contact with next entity. So to test this, please make 2 program, 1 program WITH Filter and another one is WITHOUT Filter. Try send it to CNC machine and see the result. 2. CNC Machine Parameter. Mode = EXT 5030 = 1 (blockwise on) 3. N-block The program much start with N = 0, otherwise alarm will occur. Example:- 0 BEGIN PGM 1234 MM 1 TOOL DEF 1 L1. R10. 2 TOOL CALL 1 Z Sxxxx . . . . 22 L Z+50.000 R F9999 M 23 STOP M02 24 END PGM1234 MM HTH.

hi Peter, Sorry about that. I have no intention to used Zeke original post to post my quenstion, but seem Zeke and Ozzi have used same type of machine and maybe their can give some help or advice to me regarding to me DNC problem. Hope that will not bother you all.

I've not luck today, it doesn't work. I try to adjust the parameter to 9600 7E1, it worked on download (CNC to PC) but cannot upload (alarm parity or framing), It's cable connection problem? __________________________________________________ problem must be control characters that have to be sent at start of feed and/or end of feed, which you are missing in your comminucation setup in CIMCO Edit. __________________________________________________ Christian, what your suggection to set on Start of feed and/or end of feed? Please advice Thanks

Just come back from holidays. Seems that had alot of suggection, so I'll try it by today.

hi Christian, Thanks for quick replied. Ok let me make in more specific in my communication parameters. In Cimco editor, the parameter setting:- Baudrate=9600, Parity=none, stopbit=1,Databits=8, Software (enable DTR and RTS). In the CNC machine parameter setting:- Dataline,Baudrate=9600, Parity=none, stopbit=1, Databits=8 Protocol Level=1, Idr count=0, add'RT'=Yes, Form feed=NO. To standby the machine, I used Transfer-Line-Store-Start.The errors occur immediately when PC start send program.I had check the cable connection and it's in good shielded. I also play with the communication parameters setting but it still don't work. The cable length is 6 feet from PC to CNC. There is no any machine beside. For your information, I've dos software called DCDNC. It's work used this cable. The parameter setting for this software are :- Baudrate=9600, Parity=None, Stopbits=1, Databits=8, Protocol Level=2, Idr count=0, add 'RT'=No, Form feed=NO. Please advice. Thanks

I've one CNC Cincinati milacron, sabre 750 Acramatic 850SX (3 axis). I try send a NC program from PC to CNC via RS232 used cimco editor,but message errors occur. Device error - Framing [alert # 00196] Device error - Parity [alert # 00195] (I lost my machine operation manual book, so I don't know what the alarm means.) so, does anybody had that problem before and how you solve it. Please advice. (my post, cable connection, cimco edit and machine parameter setting is OK)

For this moment, what i did is break the spline into many pieces like Dave and Scott suggested. Create perpendicular line on the point and re-create again the rectangle if i know the position. If freeform......that is a problem.

I have simple rectangle and spline curve. My question is can I make a copy which the rectangle can dynamic moves along the curve and put any place that i want? I've try used Translate and Drag, but it very hard to adjust. Any ideas will very appreciates.

at your mpfan.pst, search "fs2". fs2 2 0.4 0.3 change to fs2 2 0.4 0.5 That will come out will 5 decimal.

hi jeff I think your file already collapted or damaged. Someone had ask this question before. http://www.emastercam.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...ic;f=1;t=002878

hi Kyle and Paul, For this issue, you need go to Job setup and in toolpath configuration, ON "use tool's step,peck,coolant". Hope it will help.

Hi Dan, If you want to use check surfaces in Surface pocket, you can go to Toolpath_Operation_Geometry_Check surf and select surface you want to avoid to machine,Done_regen. Hope it will help.
