I have put the X-Style coolant from the Mpmaster in my .set setup sheet.
The output is done by:
The output is fine, exept one situation:
If there is no coolant selected there is no output, but there i want an waring.
First i tried without success:
Then i read the parameters
Also no success,
Now i'm lost. ideas??
Some times here the same.
open an pdf file in adobe acrobat
use your scroll there
then move the mous to mastercam (with out clicking) and scroll out and out.
Most times you can correct by clicking some where (toolpath manager or the header) in mastercam
This is what i've done, AND the "Use tool's step, peck, coolant" in the Machine Group Properties is set.
But it is not rock solid.
Now i have the (X-style) coolant added to my setup sheet so we can check before sending the program to the machine
Before "T35", do an toolcall "T0"
Then toolcall "T35", so "T0" is in pocket 35
Run "T35"
Again an toolcall "T0", "T35" is back in pocket 35
Then call the next tool
For the toolgeo and library's i made:
C:\MCAM-files\
Tools_DXF
Tools_X6
Tools_X8
Tools_X9
Now there is only one place for the DXF files
We've only 2 seats here, by this way it's easier to synchonise those files.
I'm also an X9 user, the boxes/windows for Levels, WCS's AND Color come up where i left them last time, even after shutdown and restart Mcam.
Maybe an windows setting??
BTW: Win 10 here

Siemens Control
I haven't touched an cnc lathe in 15 years, and never worked with Siemens controls.
We asked our Mastercam reseller quote for: Renewing maintenance, adding Lathe and an Post.
i between 2 ?? for the post:
Is there an existing post ready for this machine "from the shelf" available?
Will the 'MPLMaster' be close or at least a good starting point?
assign the pst-files to: notepath or whatever you want.
rename the X9 - CodeExpert.exe to CodeExpert.111
assign the pst-files to the 2017 - CodeExpert.exe
Check
rename the X9 - CodeExpert to .exe
Maybe you can skip step 1
I need some for aluminum! Wouldn't that be nice?

We are an Heidenhain shop. when using wear all D-offsets have to be "0".
That means the operators can not use the heidenhain cycles for pocketing (251-254 and 212-215) , threadmilling (262-267) and helixbore (208) .
Also the graphic backplot will not work.
For THAT we never use wear.
You have to make the decision what route you want to go for the whole shop, using both wil be an nightmare !!
just my 2c.
BTW it's not my intention to start an new Wear-Control discussion, (do an search, then you can spend hours and hours reading)
For the tools you can go 'Classic' or the 'Dxf' style.
See the PDF, (stolen from an other thread)
custom_mill_tools.pdf
I like the DXF style, less issues to transfer to the next version.
For the Holders there is a nice tool in the X+ addon
