  1. We bought many HAAS and MATSUURA machines from Selway. Training on probe as well.
  2. Thank you, Jeff. I hope next version they will consider putting parameter number so I can use for other useful program error check.
  3. Hello everyone, I've been using about 2 months already, it is great. One of the biggest improvement that I really love is the CHAIN CALL OUT. It would read the value of a circle. Is there away that I can call it out to the post? The reason I would like to call out the value is, sometimes I click on the wrong diameter and I can catch my own mistakes by reading the outputted G-CODES PS: Please see attached image, marked as RED. Is there a parameter number for this? Million thanks, S.Luong
  4. Why don't you buy a brand new Powerful Computer, MasterCam is meant for strong and powerful computer. In that way, we will have no issue with it at all. Here are the recommended specs.: CPU = i7, 8th/9th Generation Graphic Card = Invidia 4GB/ Memorry = 32 Gigs Hard Drive = 516SSD Proximate cost = $1,500 - $2,000
  5. Hello everyone, For the last 3 versions, MasterCam didn't include the parameter for the ISO MATERIAL GROUP (I am guessing) and I am trying to call out some MATERIAL ISO GROUP but failed. Probably I did in a wrong way, I hope 2020 version they improve it. I always wanted to use this "ISO GROUP" to show a message if SST then do "A" if aluminum then do "B", etc.... PS: Below here is how I defined and surely I think I did something wrong, can you guys point out what I've done wrong? Thank you..... ==================================== fmt "Unknown" 4 sUnknown fmt "P - General Steel" 4 sGeneralSteel fmt "M - StainlessAndCastSteel" 4 sStainlessAndCastSteel fmt "K - Cast Iron" 4 sCastIron fmt "N - Aluminum Copper And Non-Metallic" 4 sAluminumCopperAndNonMetallic fmt "S - HighTemperatureSupperAlloys" 4 sHighTemperatureSupperAlloys fmt "H - HardenedSteelAndIastIron" 4 sHardenedSteelAndIastIron if prmcode$ = 19123, [ sUnknown = rpar(sparameter$, 0) sGeneralSteel = rpar(sparameter$, 1) sStainlessAndCastSteel = rpar(sparameter$, 2) sCastIron = rpar(sparameter$, 3) sAluminumCopperAndNonMetallic = rpar(sparameter$, 4) sHighTemperatureSupperAlloys = rpar(sparameter$, 5) sHardenedSteelAndIastIron = rpar(sparameter$, 6) ] ISO_Group: 0 sUnknown : 0 sGeneralSteel: 0 sStainlessAndCastSteel: 0 sCastIron: 0 sAluminumCopperAndNonMetallic: 0 sHighTemperatureSupperAlloys: 0 sHardenedSteelAndIastIron: 0
  6. I have modified the CMD and the MMD but I having found the CANTEXT section yet, can you give me more detail about it? Thank you.
  7. Hi 5th Axis, Would you please give me an example of the code as the logic? Thank you for your help, SLuong
  8. Hello everyone, I am trying to modify the CANNED TEXT OPTIONS # 1107. but I don't see it is in the POST, is this where I can modify in the Machine Definition? What is the parameter# for it? Please see image attached. PS: I high lighted as BLUE with RED frame. Thank you. Thank you for the help, S.Luong
  9. I just registered and waiting for them to approve. Let's see if they ask for money as rumor said. Thanks.
  10. I heard that we have to pay around 10K for annual registration, is that true?
  11. This is great valuable info. Thank you Jeff.D
  12. Hello everyone, I've been many people asking which way is best for setup sheet/ tools sheet and I think it is "Active report". I would like to share mine and I think may be you guys like it.. I am self learning and also learned from this forum to make this setup sheet. This setup sheet/ tools sheet is fully "automatic" input all the data of which base on source file. If you guys need help, let me know and I hope I can help you guys. PS: I don't sell my setup sheet/ tools sheet but I can walk you through of what you need.
  13. Thank you for your info. Can you lead me some sample codes so I can understand? It is tough to understand their codes.
  14. Hello everyone, My company is thinking about to buy Productivity+ and we are now having trial period (paying somewhat at $3K) to try for a month. My question is, is that easily incorporated their codes into our current MasterCam post? The reason is, we want to control everything in one MasterCam post which is making much more sense. We are now using another post of which included Productivy+ functions into the CNC post, unfortunately they have locked their post. Is there a book to read how to embed their codes while using Productity+? Because of we are sort of renting a license to try if the product works for us but I have to find out if it is allowed to be embedded into MasterCam post. ps: They came and installed some of their codes into our current HAAS machine, macro language I think. Thank you for your help.
  15. Hello everyone, I am trying to use CANNED TEXT OPTIONS in the CANNED TEXT function and the position of the canned text is not where I think it should be. I am looking for a call out CANTEXT in the post but I don't know why. Would you guys please point out of what I miss? ps: see image..

  17. Hello all, I remember back in year of 2000 somebody paid for a website around $6,000 annually and then they get jobs from all the around the nation. Honestly do you guys know what is the name of that website? I have a friend he is very slow right now and he is willing to pay to get some contracting jobs. Thank you, S.Luong
  18. What I really love from your NetHook is, it shows the name of the plane as the video shown. How can I do that? Thank you for your help.
