http://www.emastercam.com/board/topic/83186-associating-a-stp-file-to-open-in-mastercam-x9/ this may be of help!!

This is what I figured, referencing something that is changing every second wont help! The #500 are better, just got to work out which ones the Renishaw probe are not using. The N1and N2 were from earlier attempts. Now have it working, with a few extra bits that should store the previous shifts count in another variable and reset the new shifts count. % O9007(COUNTER) #105=#3012 #106=#3011 N100 IF[[#105GT060000]AND[#105LT180000]]THENGOTO3 IF[#105LT055959]GOTO4 IF[#105GT180000]GOTO4 GOTO300 N3 #100=#100+1(DAY COUNTER) IF[#101EQ0.0]GOTO6 #103=#101 #101=0.0 N6 GOTO300 N4 #101=#101+1(NIGHT COUNTER) IF[#100EQ0.0]GOTO7 #102=#100 #100=0.0 N7 N300 M30 % I have also added this to the M30 call set in the M/c parameters, i.e M30 will call and run this protected sub and then end and rewind after it is read.

Had this problem before, think there is a registry fix for it. All I do now is just drag the .stp file into an open session of x9 and it opens!!!

I'm trying to make a macro counter that will count parts using #100 between 06.00 in the morning and 18.00 in the evening and #101 for counting nightshift parts between 18.01pm and 05.59am. think I have the dayshift sorted but getting hung up on the nightshift counter!! O7999(COUNTER) (#3012 SYSTEM CLOCK) N100 IF[[#3012GT060000]AND[#3012LT180000]]THENGOTO3 IF[[#3012LT060000]AND[#3012GT180000]]THENGOTO4 N200 N1 IF[#3012LT055959]GOTO4 N2 IF[#3012LT180000]GOTO3 GOTO300 N3 #100=#100+1(DAY COUNTER) GOTO300 N4 #101=#101+1(NIGHT COUNTER) N300 M99 can anybody see where I'm going wrong or even point me in the right direction TIA

reboot didn't help!! sorted it now!! it was a third party app called actual multiple monitors( gives you a second taskbar on dual monitors) stopped and restarted, all fine.

been fine for months, only started today. had no graphics updates either.

Been fine all morning then go to create new machine group, select tool from library then I get this!!! any ideas how to fix this??

Has anybody used this font for engraving, or know of a similar font that I could centre line m/c due to this one being a box type font!!!

I have this in my Mori NH post, and set with a misc interger O0000(T) (DRAWING NUMBER : ) (ISSUE/REV NUMBER : ) (MCX FILE - ) (NC FILE - T.NC) (30-01-15 10:05) G0G90G80G40G94G49G17G21 G10G90L2P1X-365.Y0.Z0.B0. /M93(BUZZER & LIGHT ON) M1(OPTIONAL STOP-NOT ALARM) M94(BUZZER & LIGHT OFF) M161(PALLET 1) IF[#147NE1]THEN#3000=123(PALLET ERROR) N1T15M6(8MM ALLY CARB ) G0G90G54X212.5Y-70.3S10000M3 M11 B0.0(MCX B OUTPUT = B0.)

Are you in 2d or 3d? Have your Z set to something other than 0? Any of it splines.

The code is just two positions repeated in 8 different work offsets! G0G90G54X39.162Y#1S4000M3 M11 B0. M10 G17T5 G43Z50.H10M8 G98G81Z-15.05R2.0F200. Y#2 G80 G0Z100.0 The code is just a repeat of this! The variables are set in a slave program.

Had a search on forums, no joy in finding anything! I have to post a drilling op( 2 holes, 2 operations) and need the positions posted as variables due to main program being in data server, and the need to fine tune from the machine(plunging end mill into material to achieve slot length on y axis) Is this possible?

Surface rough contour has stepdown!

Multiaxis training in the morning for two days, Dmg evo 60 arriving in two weeks! Hoping to learn a whole lot of new stuff!!!

Would drawing a tangent parallel line do it? It's not analyze but works for me!

Try create, Drafting, Dimension, Point! works well for our turners.

If it is a 2d path but set to 3d you should be able to set sub program's on the depth cut tab!

Can you not just change to metric in the config? It should ask to scale your part! I've never had a problem doing this and feeds automatically change. Or is this a post setup issue?

Within the tool path would be good, but I usually , if needed spilt an op to certain depths and add a manual entry op! Works for me!

You should have a "N" search button. If you do, single block into data server prog and hit search for desired "N" for tool call needed!

The best way I learnt the new tool paths was to go with what I knew(legacy)! As I am my own programmer/setter and operator(sometimes!) I would get machine set, go back to the pc and play with the new ones while it was running, once I thought it looked good on screen and time permitting actually run the the new tool paths on part that had already been cut, without coolant! If it looked good run the next one with new paths! Only problem was having te repost prog with much higher feedrates and shorter cycle times!

Did a full scan with MS last week, first time run a full scan on a 6 month old pc and it sort of killed the file open x style option!!! If I open a file in X style I get slow load times and when I try to edit m/c deff I get no response for a few minutes! Tool paths are fine!All files are on the c drive. Changed it to windows style and all is ok! Thinking of going back to avg free :
