I just installed Version 2019. I was going through and making sure my configuration was set up properly and found the default mill wasn't showing. I opened the path to set it to the correct folder that my machine is in and it is showing nothing. Not even any of the generic machines. I can go down the list for lathe, router and wire, and that folder is showing the machines. All of the machines are in the same folder, but I do not know why nothing is showing up in the default mill. I tried to do a repair and even a uninstall, but that didn't help. Has anyone else come across this problem?
The post that I am using is a Generic Fanuc 3X Mill.pst. I can see in the beginning of the post the prog_stop : 1 #Program stop at toolchange: 0=None, 1=M01, 2 = M00.
I would like to have M01 post out before every tool change and am not sure where in the post to make that happen. I can attach a copy of my post if that would help?
I would like to have the code for optional stop post out in my programs. I thought there used to be a place you could turn that on in the control definition, but I dont see it. I dont know much about modifying my post to do that. Any help would be great.
Changing the color does work, but the other problem is that the name, date and screen information doesnt appear as well, even though it is checked to do so.
For some odd reason, my Mastercam will not print out what I have on the screen any more. The entities on the screen do not show up in the print preview. Any help would be appreciated.
This program that this problem is happening with was written in X5. When I open it, I get the tool alarms because the tools were generated in X5. Could that be the problem? I try to go and change the tool files to X6, but when I am finished and try to save the program, it locks up.
I have a user account with full permissions that are set up correct. Not using a nethasp. Power save is not on. Power management for USD is turned off and Ethernet as well. Saving on the network and also saved it to my hard drive to rule out network problems, but still have the issue.
Im am using x6 and am having an issue with saving my files. The problem is, when I go to save after I have done some work, x6 will just sit there and not let me do anything. Then the error NOT RESPONDING comes up. I try to close out the program and it wont shut down. I try to shut it down through the task manager and it still wont shut down. I try to log off my computer and it wont even let me do that. I have to turn my computer off by pushing the button. Im using Windows 7, 64bit. Any help would be great. Thanks
I just recently installed Mastercam X5 for mill, and am wanting to set up my Active Reports. I was modifying the Mastercam version of Active Reports and found that when I go to print the reports, it prints one page and then spits out a blank page after every one that it prints. I printed it before I modifed it, and it didnt spit out a blank sheet for everyone it printed. I just want a simple sheet that shows the top view and gives me tool descriptions with the Z-value for how deep the tool is going. Any help would be appreciated.
