N21320 G80<<<<< *** machine is jumping to Z home N21330 G0 Z1.18<<<<<< *** and back to this level N21340 X.7 Y0.<<<<<< *** reposition next hole N21360 Z.28 N21370 G88 X.7 Y0. Z.35 Z.25 F30.

what you mean editor? i just make the toolpath in MC, post, save as .HNC file and open on the control; the problem that i have is after every hole with G80 machine is retracting full Z to home, so machine is jumping up, down to next clearance level and position to next hole X, Y; i do not have this problem with drilling; thanks

hurco guys, would you please give me sample good code for rigid tapping (G88) on 2 or 3 holes? thanks

autosave??- you are asking about trouble, use backup file and forget autosave

the same problem here, even if I save only wireframe as new file, reopen and create bndg box

glue is the best solution

no, and You know, thats very strange, i have conections to all siemens and heidenhain machines after install win7 without any extra settings; all shortcuts are perfect

yes, but no luck

everythink set, but dos not work, thanks for fast reply

solution for me was YG1 tools

guys, thank You SO much

thanks Guru

O.K. I use tool staging and I would like to have tool coment with that tool in G code line sample: N10 T2 M6 N11 T1 << stage tool coment right here N12 G54 N13 G90 G0 G17 X-3.566 Y-2.1959

how can I take comment from tool library for next_tool$ at G code line?

Hi Gunther is it possible to have nci prog_nane on the list of additional info and header of setup sheet?

more problems tranlate *.stl and after, I can see shaded model, BUT statistics - NO entities at ALL; the same file translated to X3 is shawing as usuall - lines model

WOW!!! Pete, fast respond, maybe we should use capitals for faster respond, somtimes

yes, it works thanks

after translation .stp file to X4 MU2, statistics do not show any solid, but after saving file, closing and reopenig X4 MU2, everythink is O.K (well, allmost)

AMEN
