Hi, I've been working on the LOC but I got no luck. Can anybody guide me how to output LOC on the tooltable list? It should look like this.

I don't know what to say to prove that i'm a solid guy with legal software but I'm here with honest and respecful.

Serial number: 1312-I

Okay, I just updated. I called my reseller, and it is 1312. It is the right number?

We bought a full package of MasterCamX5-X6 but where do I view the Sim number so I can update my profile? Thank you. Can you direct me some how? I know I have the legal software but I don't know how to retreave the SIM number.

We have a reseller but they don't cover the post problem. They only can help the software interface issue but not about G-code. I don't want to be mean but why I'm the only that not allow to ask questions in here whereas other people ask thousand of questions without trouble like me? Do I have to register as another way to ask questions? I just wonder if my account type differents than others? Best regards

Hi, Anybody knows how to write codes when I click "G1" and there is a windows asks me like "What is the customer name?" so I fill in, then the "name" I filled in that window will be in the G-code?

My company bought a full package of Mastercam such as 2D and 3D and they are not buying the post services at all. That's why I have to bite my lips to be such as thick face for some judgement in this forum. That's why I need help some of the questions that I can integrated into the post. Thanks for your reply and I'm looking to get help for this one.

Hi, I'm trying to make a tool list which may look like this: (T1 =4" FACE MILL - H1 - D1 - LOC = 0) (T2 = 3/4 FLAT ENDMILL - H2 - D1 - LOC = -.357) (T3 = 3/4 DRILL - H3 - D1 - LOC = -1.52) (T4 = 3/8 FLAT ENDMILL - H4 - D1 - LOC = -.785) (T5 = 1/4 SPOTDRILL - H5/H52 - D1 - LOC = -.125/-.1) (T6 = NO. 7 DRILL - H6 - D1 - LOC = -.5) (T7 = 1/4-20 TAPRH - H7 - D1 - LOC = -.375) This is my ptooltable looks like, please help.

I asked many questions about posts now it's time to pay back to the community here are the step by steps instructions how to turn off the "N". 1. Hold down "Crtl" and "F" and search for "tseqno", then change change from "1" to "0". Step 2 a. Go to "Settings" =====> "Control Definition" =====> "NC Output" =======> Uncheck the "Output Sequence Numbers" Hit Green Check Mark. You're ready to go.

Thank you, I got it .

can you give me a post sample so I can follow Chris? Thanks you.

Thank you Lee1

Hi, I just want to know if I can make the post generate different N sequence numbers with the same tool as different operation type? For instance, I just tool #1 to contour then the next operation with tool #1 again but with pocket. Then I would like something like this: N1 (1/2 End Mill) G0 G17 G49 G53 G80 G90 Z0 T1 M6 ( SKIM CUT ) M8(LOC = Z0.) G0 G90 G56 X-3.3 Y-.7501 S5000 M3 G43 H1 Z2. T2 Z.2 G1 Z0. F100. X11.8 F50.

Hi guys, I'm having a post conflict with the "pwrtt$". I like to list all of my G10 work offsets and I got from the instructions of this forum. I got stuck because my M11 G0 G90 G54 does not include B0. Below here, you can see what I'm having trouble with. I believe that I'm almost ready to go but only does not out put the B-Axis for me.

I got it now, it's. Step 1: Control Definition Manager Step 2: click on NC "Output" (It will leads you to General) Step 3: look for "spaces between NC addresses" Step 4: change from "1" to "0" then it will becomes like this N1G0G17G40G54G80G98M5 ( 3/16 FLAT ENDMILL) T0101 G0C0.Y0 G97S200M13 S2500 Thanks for your respond.

One of my programmers wants to remove spaces between the G-Codes like this. How do I do do it? Please help, thank you. (MANUAL ENTRY AREA HERE) N1G0G17G40G54G80G98M5 (3/16 FLAT ENDMILL ) T0101 G0C0.Y0 G97S200M13 S2500 X.4629Z.1M8 G12.1 G1 X.4338C.0808F5. Z-.33 Z.1F500. G30U0V0W0H0. T0100M9 M1

I went to the active report for the files as you told but how can I link them? Please let me know.

I'm trying to create setup sheet by using Active Reports Designer. I'm on the way to finish it and I have only one problem is the "Manual Entry" note not showing up on the setup sheet. I think because I don't know what it is called in the function of the template shopware.inc that I downloaded. Does any one know about this? PS: If this forum is only support the post can you guys suggest me a good link for me to follow? Best regards, steven.L

I hate to say this and sorry to be rude but if we knew that we could ask for the dealer then why we come to this wonderful forum website? On the other hand, it takes weeks just to find out who is doing what and restrictions in the company just to get what we need. For instance, signatures required for approval ABC..., I hope my comment won't make you unhappy but please understand us that we really need your help because the place where we work is lack of communication if we all don't consider of the word "I work for a suck company".... hiihhi.... Good night, Steven.L

In our shop we have many versions of NC files and we would like it posts out revision number everytime we generate g-code. How do I do that? Please help. Here is the sample that I would like to have.
