I have an easy question I hope. I have been programming in x,x2,x3, and now x4 and having my operation library and operation defaults has not been a problem. How do I get the tool library set to the control def? There is no way to set it in the control def. It has been frustrating all this time.

TOOLPATH REFINEMENT SETTINGS DO NOT STICK!!
JAMES GABEL replied to Mr. Wizzard's topic in Industrial Forum
My question is when you set it and get out does it post the refined tool path? -
I am creating some high speed toolpath and I noticed that you can pick check surfaces but where can I tell it how much to stay away. I can not find where it is.
-
X2 does not have the move to origin function. I wish it did because it helps.
-
I am doing fine. How about you?
-
I have a dump question. I can not remember how to turn solids off when I boot up. I only want some computers to have solids. I thought I just had to put a ns at the end of the mastercam path in properties.
-
I will try that tomarrow. Thanks
-
I am trying to get a job done and I keep getting a message out of the blue. I have never seen this before but it is driving me nuts. Can somebody explain why this is happening. I am just making a .3 mm dia. ball endmill. The message says: Tool diameter and corner radius do not match values stored in operation(edit operation parameters and reselect tool).
-
Thanks.
-
Is it because of a video driver that this is happening? I never had to do this before. Why in X4 is it different?
-
It worked for me to. Thank You.
-
I do have MU2. I will have to stay with X3 because I can not program if I can pick the solid. I will keep messing with it.
-
I went to X4. I bring in a model and some models I can pick and some I can't. I brought a model in and it shows up in the level manager but I can not pick it for nothing. Has anyone else having this issue? I bring in parisolids.

I am writing a program to cut a simple slot with 1 deg tapper on the walls. I am using a 1.5 mm ball em to cut it. When I program it Mastercam gives me a warning that says: Tool diameter and corner radius do not match values stored in operation(edit operation parameters and reselect tool). I have never seen this before. Can some explain this.
-
Thank you. I understand it now.
-
I am running some surface high speed(core roughing) toolpath, I went into filter and added a toolpath fillet and want to know what this does. I know it says it will put a radius in the sharp corners but I do not see it doing anything. Can somebody explain what I might be doing wrong.

Dual monitors should be a must for programmers in company's. You can work more efficient.
-
Sounds good to me. Let me know I will try to make that happen. Do you want me to e-mail it to you?

The operator on the lathe just had the lathe do a rapid move to X-.064 and scraped the part. Mastercam shows it working fine but after it was posted the post put a X-.064 in the code. He was asking me if I knew what could cause that. I looked at the program and saw nothing. Does anyone have any idea's what would do this. It is a okuma lathe.
-
I need to put a left handed thread in a part on a cnc lathe and I can not find out how to do it in MasterCam. I want to do it with a boring bar. Does anybody know of a way?
-
I have been very busy and forgot about this. I have been just right clicking on the operation and changing the nci name and the program name. My guys on the floor like to have the program name to see it on the control. I liked it in V9 and want it to work in X. Now that I can get back into this I want to figure this out. In V9 it was a c-hook. I just hit alt c enter enter and all the nci and program names matched the operation names.
-
I left out one thing. In v9.1 nci-fix also made the program number the same as the operation group. Why can't this work in MasterCam X,X2,X3 and X4.
-
I fixed the problem by turning on the linearize helixes in the ramp dialog box. That fixed it. That one was driving me nuts.
-
That got it to put out and r value in the leadin and the final pass at the bottom. I am using ramp to go around the bosses. After the leadin it puts out I and J in the code. I told it to put radius on all axis.
-
I have two Bridgeport machines with 3 axis Easyvision controls on them. I had a post made for them and found one problem. To turn on cutter comp the control wants an R value, right now the post puts out I and J to form an arc. I want to know if you have to change that in the post or can that be changed in the control def?
