First add 0.50, and then do the normal round.
I was close, but not correct: 2.0 + 0.5 = 2.5, will be round to 3.0
So first check for already being an integer.
then add 0.5 and round.

I have put the X-Style coolant from the Mpmaster in my .set setup sheet.
The output is done by:
Quote# Output coolant type
pcan, pcan1, pcan2, strcantext,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:
Quote# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# WARNING NO COOLANT SELECTED:
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
if strcantxt = "",
[
" ", e$
sepline2, e$
"WARNING: ", e$
"Operation #", op_num, ": NO COOLANT SELECTED", e$
sepline2, e$
" ", e$
]Then i read the parameters
Quote#Coolant variables for X style coolant
bld : 0 #Block delete active
sav_coolant : 0 #Coolant saved
cant_pos : 0 #Read from current canned text (cant_pos1 - cant_pos20)
coolant_bin : 0 #Binary value for current coolant command
coolant_on : 0 #Binary value holding the sum of all coolants currently on
coolantx : 0 #Selector variable for coolant string selector
local_int : 0 #Local variable for output of coolant off commands
result2 : 0 #Return value for functions
suppress : 0 #Flag used to suppress redundant coolant on commands
all_cool_off : 0 #First coolant off command shuts off ALL coolant options
sblank : ""
strtextno : ""
strcantext : ""

Can The Tool Room manager really tell you to do that or is he just giving you his opinion?
IMHO he SHOULD order this, using both systems will be a nightmare.

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

#1 When you create tools, make sure they are saved to the libray with coolant on.....once you get into the habit, it's 2nd nature
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

Those are lefthand cutting (M4), so climb cutting from to to bottom

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

We wil get an 2002 Hyundai HIT 250 MS
- Sub spindle
- single turret with live tools
- 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?

I've tried doing it in control panel & right clicking a file & choosing, but winders just ignores the new assignment
- 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

you can also drag them around and move them to the right so you do not see them unless you use the slider to look at them

I'm new to mastercam (on a heidenhain control)
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 !!
as a rule of thumb you should make sure you have a straight leadin /leadout move of at least 55%
of the intended tool diameter
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)

No keep tool down, and a bug/defect in the finish passes lead in/out
Do not use the ramp in there.
My mail to QC: jun 03 2015
Hi,
I think this is a Bug:
The finish passes in Operation #8 are not at the right level.
When i remove the ‘Helix Height’ in the Finishing Lead In\Out it’s OK.
I also miss an “Keep Tool Down” here.
Henk,
This is a known issue and is logged in our system. The defect number is D-17729. I will add your information and Mastercam file to this defect and notify the appropriate folks about the added information.
The workaround is to change the helix height to zero, or create separate finishing operations. The ramp height field also causes the same problem if it is not zero.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Dan Harris | Quality Control

If I have arcs it doesn't display time.
With arcs i get the backplot time, with HELICS no backplot time

For the tools you can go 'Classic' or the 'Dxf' style.
See the PDF, (stolen from an other thread)
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
G10 offset output from Zoller
in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Posted
Imo the output is correct.
How does your Zoller "know" that your .074 tool originally was an .075 ?
