Mr. Morton, When creating a post here, click "More reply options" just to the right of the "post" button. You will then see an option below where you are typing your post to upload a file. But, you should really send the file into [email protected] If there is a bug, we need to see it..... P.S. Not sure if you are aware, but CNC has a forum that is much more often visited by Mastercam employees than this one.... http://forum.mastercam.com/Forum11.aspx

This is not happening for me. Can you guys share a file? Has anyone sent anything to QC?

Please send a zip2go into QC with; "I go into the plane manager, right click on either of the 2 planes I've created, selected "rename", watched the name change into the name I want it to be and hit enter. Then I watch as it goes right back to the name I was trying to change." copied into the email as a quick explanation.

You go into the plane manager, right click on a plane you created, select "rename". This does not allow you to change the name? Note: you cannot change the name of the standard planes (top, front, etc...)

Settings, viewsheets, enable.

Hold shift while you push on the mouse wheel. If you config is set one way (pan or spin) for the middle wheel, holding shift will give you the other (pan or spin).

Just curious, what's your gripe with the new one?

Also, are you sure your MD is set up properly? This is probably not the case but.......... Front plane could be A90 C0 or A-90 C180..... I know you don't have a C axis, but if the MD is not proper you could be seeing rotations for a rotary you don't have... simply posted with the axis labeled as A instead of the default C.... I would consult my reseller to get a handle on what is actually happening, be certian you have a good foundation. And YESSSSS you need to get familiar with the Dynamic Xform & WCS & Planes..... All of which are HUGE timesavers. You could also have your reseller give you a quick rundown. You seem to have a good handle on things so it would not be a big deal for the reseller to help ya out.

For anyone that would like to keep an eye on this, we'll be posting any updates here.... http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic3929.aspx

This is what you are after...

I am tying to get CNC to implement a true WCS. Center of the earth is everyone's orgin.

on a 12" radius that's about .0002 positional error.... (.001°) how are you measuring it? Just curious... Does it repeat or is it all over the place?

Type .5mm in the FPT field and hit enter.

I got a file? Kinda looks like a lathe chuck body? Select all ops, right click, edit common parameters, planes, check the box for work offset. set it to zero, green check out, regen & post. I get nothing but G54.

Mazak did get it to stop switching like AP. No more shakes... no rotational issues.... Soooo, what is the issue you'd like to "tune"?

Fixed that for ya.

So no more shaking but you are getting bad (not accurate) rotations?

mill_mm

Not that I am aware of, but hover your mouse over this (circled in red). Grrrr 1 min late!!!

So Mazak was there and it's still shaking like Taylor Swift?

If this is a one off, just use two drill ops... If it's something you'll be doing regularly.... setting up a custom cycle setup would pay off.

I can't remember the parameter off the top of my head, but if you give Applications at Mazak a call they should be able to help you out. Careful, the params involved can affect your accuracy.

Click "more reply options" then at the bottom of the window you will see a "choose file" button under "attach files".

Can you post a file here for us to look at?
