Machine - Mazak vmc 410 Mazatrol I'm trying to manually code a G10 to update the Z offset register, all our parts are a different thickness and I want to change the g54 z offset at the beginning of the program. After program is complete I need to change the G54 Z offset back to the original value to start a new part. We manuall programmed G91G10L2P1Z-NNN which does change the G54 to the correct value. Our problem is changing it back to the original G54 Z offset at the end of the program. We are also using a G21 for metric programming. Any ideas?

Any ideas on how to accomplish this requirement? Run Verify from a Net Hook with no user interaction needed and capture the screen image of completed part to save into image file for display later? Remote user would like to see the verify output\completed part to approve before machining starts in case of changes etc.. Process is automated and can not have user intervention. I don't see any access to verify in NetHook 2.0 dll. Anyway to get to that Verify functionality outside of the NetHook Dll?

Developing a NET Hook in VB and I am having a problem with the Editor opening up after posting. I have tried changing the settings in the post processing dialog screen to not edit for the NC file and NCI is disabled, tried also with NC disabled and No Edit. Same Result - Editor pops up. Looked at values in mcamxm.config - they look correct for disabling Edit after Post This Call has the parameters set to not Edit after Posting,looks like it is being ignored or overridden somewhere Mastercam.Operations.OperationsManager.PostAllOperations(sOutputPath, False, False, False) Any ideas? Is there something I a missing or not configuring correctly?

Is there another way to create letters, besides geometry utility, that I am missing that will enable me to use windows fonts? I thougt that in an earlier version of the net hook, 1.0, I used a different object to create letters and the windows fonts were available.

Windows vb.net vs 2005 Mastercam X5 Net Hook 2.0 Creating Letters - I only have a few options for Fonts when using this method; 8 types of drafting fonts and 4 Mastercam fonts. Is there a way to access the windows true type fonts? Dim mLetters As New GeometryUtility.Types.LetterCreationData mLetters.LetterText = "Test" 'mLetters.FontHeight = 3.5 mLetters.FontHeight = 1.5 'mLetters.FontMode = GeometryUtility.Types.FontModeType.MastercamBlockFont mLetters.FontMode = GeometryUtility.Types.FontModeType.DraftingStickFont mLetters.FontSpacing = 0.7 mLetters.FontAlignment = GeometryUtility.Types.FontAlignmentType.CurveBottom mLetters.FontRadius = 55 mLetters.StartingPoint.x = 0 mLetters.StartingPoint.y = 0 mLetters.StartingPoint.z = 0 Mastercam.GeometryUtility.LetterCreationManager.CreateLetters(mLetters)
