where are all the downloads for installing mastercam only the last 2 updates no main x7 install.... also where are all the previous installs? x6, x5 and so on with all the updates?

I have the same issues with verify lag here also (5axis sim)... super slow... verify set to 3 axis caused the verified graphic part to be hacked up.

nope that didn't do anything. thanks though I talked to mastercam today they said they know they have some issues

some serious issues with verify... first I used the 5axis simulator button... super super slow!.... second time I used the 3x button and verify cuts half the part off when I worked on the backside of the part....

mastercam x7 sp2 has caused the simulation to creep to a stand still. anybody else getting this?... setting to change maybe?

I talked to tech support last week they said its mu1.... didn't know when.... hope they fix the bugs

MORE CORRUPT TOOLS HERE TOO!!!! FIX THIS NOW!!!!!

ya that's where I originally got confused... the first post (mpmaster x6) I brought over was from x6 and it worked beautifully... not a single mistake. thought maybe that was the issue so I downloaded mpmaster x7 and its doing this with the feedrates at the start on both... odd... thanks for your help though

I tried that...didn't help any... is there a way to force it in the post to make this issue go away?

THIS IS WHAT IM GETTING ON ANOTHER TOOLPATH.....

I think there is an issue in how mpmaster x7 is looking at starting a toolpath at the beginning of a program using advanced toolpaths. it should rapid to the work plane not feed down to part or use a wild feed value example 3: O01 (OP3) G01 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90 G91 G28 Z0. (COMPENSATION TYPE - COMPUTER) T90 M06 (1/2 FLAT ENDMILL D/E) (TOOLPATH - HORIZONTAL.......) G01 G17 G90 G59 G94 B184. X-.3988 Y-.0772 S2250 M03 F3213.37 G43 H90 Z.225 Z.125 F19. Y.4244 Z.1136 F15. Y.261 Y.2033

its set to incremental. but that's how I always do it... opticore toolpath is the one posting on the safety line g01 and feeding from machine home

its not checked

thanks but I want the highspeed lookahead (g05.1 q1)

example 1 also outputted g94 and a federate on that line... im really lost on this issue... might have to go back to x6 mu3

yes rapid retract is on... this is at the beginning of the program. this issue is with any highspeed toolpaths first toolpath posted only.

using mpmaster x7 version or mpmaster x6 version in x7 sp1 when you post a program using an advanced toolpath (anything other than simple 2d toolpath ie contour or pocket) it feedrates z axis all the way to the retract point. it only does this on the first toolpath at the beginning of the program. any help would be great example 1: is roughing toolpath opticore G01 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90 G91 G28 Z0.

copper is abrasive to tooling is the saw burning up? what is the alloy or is it pure? what is the chip load and surface feet per min? give your tooling rep a call should be able to help you with feeds and speeds. how tight are you getting the bolt on the arbor? is the saw spinning? i would tighten that bolt really tight and use a torque wrench so its the same every time. we have 3 arbors use them all the time and they are many years old and run true.

its not very hard to edit posts. always save a copy in a safe place, make change, save, check posted code is what you want, and repeat. just start the debug mode and step through your code that way. pick a small program to begin with. (a single line with contour) you can assign the special gcode "g332 whatever r value" in with the aicc(g5.1 q1) and everything will post when you turn that button on or not if off. post edit ref guide is installed with mastercam. do a search for "post" its a pdf of debug guide that should point you in right direction. also be careful activating and deactivating g5.1q1 mid program thats what our tech support says and fanuc says, fyi its not recommended could mess things up ie.. rotations, pallet moves, work shifts, etc...

Just comment out the line that is generating the g49 and that should do it. g49 is a tool height offset cancel. your tool change macro should have the g49 in it. g5.1 q1 is needed before the g43 but cannot be deactivated midprogram with out using a g49 and then using a g43 again to set height. be careful not to turn aicc on and off mid program.(on is more of the issue (g5.1q1). you can turn off anytime (g5.1q0))
