  1. I will sometimes do a contour ramp of a circle and helix in where I want the path to start. then use that same circle as an "air region". Then turn off the entry motion in the dynamic path. Never mind. I was thinking a dynamic path
  2. There is a "Advanced" tab that you can hit in the project window and there is a checkbox for "automatically preview results". uncheck that.
  3. The post is most likely a Postability post. Here is what I was sent on PostCare back in 2018. I'm sure you can request a more up to date one from your reseller. PostCare Maintenance Policy PostCare Maintenance Coverage Post edits, including Mastercam version release updates, provided upon request. Continued access to a current ‘engine-synched’ version of an end user post processor that will include our latest Unified Post Kernel. This will include any feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing support of new Mastercam toolpaths and programming options. We do not cover support for additional equipment not present at the time of the original delivery (i.e. add-on rotaries, heads, control retrofits). No migration to different Mastercam products permitted: We only support the original Mastercam product for which the post was intended. We do not provide support for new custom programming practices. For example, the addition of longhand custom deep hole drilling cycles would not be covered under PostCare Maintenance. Non-Maintenance Support After the Mastercam Maintenance Anniversary date has passed and an end user is not on Postability PostCare Maintenance, any support will be charged at an hourly rate. Projects with defined scope will be quoted at a fixed price. Mastercam Versions Supported Postability will only support the current Mastercam release and the 4 previous versions. e.g. X7 through 2018. Reporting Customers will be required to provide us with Mastercam Maintenance Anniversary dates as part of the post ordering process. (Mastercam Version, Product, Maintenance Anniversary) To cover existing posts, Postability will contact each direct customer with a list of their posts. Once Postability has Mastercam Maintenance Anniversary dates on file, we will proactively provide renewal lists 90 days out / 60 days out, etc. Why Now? As Postability enters its 10th year in business, we must clearly define the limits to our support offerings. Our list of installed post processors is growing exponentially. Our PostCare Maintenance program will help us maintain our reputation for quality products and unsurpassed service.
  4. If you open the chain manager for an operation it will display the chain even if the level is invisible. if you do analyze entity and click on part of the chain it will show you what level it is on. if it is a hidden level it will display the level as a negative number.
  5. Your code only has B moves. So in TCP the machine would rotate the b axis keeping your tool tip in the same XYZ coordinate relative to your work offset G54. Try running this in vericut. it should simulate a path similar to your green arc. % O0000 (TEST) (PROGRAM - TEST.NC) G00 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90 G53 Z0. M319 A0. B0. T9 M06(1/2 BULL E.M.)

  6. In tool center point G43.4 you should have a x and z in every line of the code going around the green arc (Y never changes). Here is a similar path from my T1 post. T9 M06(1/2 BULL E.M.)

  7. Post some of your code. I have Makino T1 machines. Same axis configuration.
  8. We use these. you can find them on msc. about $1 a piece. https://www.mscdirect.com/browse/tn?searchterm=tool%20tags&tg=Suggested%20Keywords&rd=k
  9. I don't think you should use G43.4 with G68.2. I think you problem with the first code is that you need to call up X and Y again after the G53.1 when you are in your tilted working plane before you do your drill cycle.
  10. if you have a good post you should be fine. we have 2 of these machines and don't have too many issues. mostly overtravel issues( we like to stretch the limits of the machine). dwo and tcpc works pretty good, but like said before check that your center of rotation is correct. the haas has a program to help set it but sometimes it needs to be tweaked. if you lock a tool path to a tool plane then it should post out in "G254"( dwo) and if you are going to go full 5 axis then it should post out "G234" which is tool center point.
  11. I have that exact machine here at work. Dave wrote that post for us. if you end up going with the Postability post i can help you out with all the SNK "5 face software" codes and how to set up the misc values.
