it would be nice to have a button in contour with spring pass,(like pocket has),and spring pass that conventional mills, that would be sweet ,

grip it and rip it

spring pass in pocket is great you can shorten or lengthen lead in lead out, great for chamfering change feed rate and spindle speed on finish pass you better put on a double flame suit [ 12-02-2003, 01:03 PM: Message edited by: Hacsta ]

i agree james but i've found if you chain the bottom of the hole and your part is 1.00" say(and then your Z0 is bottom of part) and you change the depth to 1." and go to 2d chamfer set the width and the offset distance. it does work but i like chaining the top ,but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!!!

i tried it and got it to sweep i closed the 60 degree included angle -made line vert in front view from endpoint- then chained it then chose the path,,, is this what you were tring to do ? useing threads leonard posted file on ftp under mc9 files leaonard threadsclosed [ 12-01-2003, 06:45 AM: Message edited by: Hacsta ]

sorry for double post!!!

i had this posted in tombstone verify but nothing doing,so here i am quote: posted 11-20-2003 01:16 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi guys, i'm using safety zone for the first time,"tring to anyway", i 'm tring to figure out how to move it off origin, i'm useing it for a rotary job and i want to place the saftey zone over the section of my fixture that is in the chuck, kinda like the way it is done in lathe, or not, is this possible?

don't you mean emanuel entry mmg

+1 to MMG

what post are you running ? if you are running mpmaster.pst put a 1 in mi10 in the op after the op you want to stop before. "op1" "op2"--in misc values change 0 to 1 this will give you the m00 before

just another way i learned use misc values mi10 change 0 to 1 in the op you want to stop before and you can make another misc value a position move to center the table say mi6. just another way i learned here on the forum

i did the "if then" with misc values to make the positioning move to the center of the table before the M00(which i use misc 10 for now thanks to mill man crazy) and also the force toolchange in the contour parameters page i've never had a real post class, i just keep reading the mp post cdrom disc and keep asking questions here . you guys help out so much heres to you guys thanks for the help [ 10-17-2003, 04:00 PM: Message edited by: Hacsta ]

WOW! Thanks for the code. I tried the misc values works good. the ref points is good too, everythings all good. i'm gonna try the "if then" with the misc value too. this is great their is so much you can customize with mastercam just how you want it thank guys for the help i'll get back to you

what i want to do is have the post out put a positon move to center table and a M00 before a op with the same tool as the previous op T1 M06(TOOL) GOO G90 G54 X 0 Y0 S5500 M03 G43 H01 Z1. M08 does the op G00 Z1. G28 Z0 CENTER TABLE M00 T1 M06(TOOL) GOO G90 G54 X 0 Y0 S5500 M03 G43 H01 Z1. M08 does other op G00 Z1. G28 Z0 M30 I'll try ref position in the morning thanks for the help [ 10-16-2003, 10:35 PM: Message edited by: Hacsta ]

reck'd, i have'nt used misc values for stops, is their a way i could make misc value out put a position move to center table before the M00? thanks for any help

Crazy Millman if you would be so kind to put up the code that would be grrrrreat! when i use canned text in the parameters page i use " stop before" and it put a M00 before the z retract home, then puts another M00 thats the one i want. where do i fix that at ? thanks for the help

so you say the force toolchange is doing the M00's at each depth cut? i read a post here about making a variable, counter and switching it on at ptlch0 and resetting it somewhere else . i couldn't get it to work.. is ptlch0 and ptoolend the only places i have to insert the switch. i used the manuel entry before works good but looking for another way

running v9.1sp2 i have 2 ops with the same tool, in 2nd op i use cantext to stop (M00) to add clamps etc.., then change nci tab i force tool change. then after i post it all out thier are M00 before every depth cut. I am using mpmaster post, is this a logged bug ? how quick is the fix? if any!!!!!!!!!

you could of told me that by standing up in your cube' south jersey it's a little german town(all the streets are named after citys in germany) just north of atlantic city
