    Try this link...if you haven't looked at it already. This really helped me. The third response down is a video. https://www.emastercam.com/forums/topic/79382-proper-way-to-set-wcs/?hl=origin#entry952050

    I'll jump in. I am also using X9 and use planes a lot. Make sure your toolpaths in the machine groups are all the same. See attached picture.

    or.....you could get into using the Transform operation. I've used that many time. Then just one operation with whatever stepover distance inside that.
  4. cncworker
    Hmmm, you are correct. I'll have to mess around with it some more.
  5. cncworker
    Yes there is. On the depth cut tab, depth cut order, select "by depth" instead of by contour.
  6. cncworker
    I don't like the verify either. But there is another verify/simulation you could try. See attached picture
  7. cncworker
    click the little box next to "ref point" and it will activate.
  8. cncworker
    Don't forget to setup your stock.

    When you have all your tools in the bottom window of tool manager, right click, import/export tools, report. Then save where you want it, so you can find it. Thats in MCAM X9. Inside of MCAM go to toolpaths menu at the top, then towards the bottom is tool manager.

    Yes Gcode is correct. I just did the experiment. It works! Thanks for the math lesson.

    I've used spare M codes on our Haas VMC and put those into the program. But without any more info on what you are trying to do, we can't be much help. What are you trying to accomplish?
  12. cncworker
    Happened on my CPU too. I stayed with X6 for now. My computer can't handle the newer versions. I like the verify in X6 better anyway. Sorry no help, just some venting

    Ha,lol no problem. Just glad to see a fellow MC user get their problem solved.

    So how did this strange ordeal work out? Did you get it fixed? If so, how? Don't leave us all hangin'.

    Sent an email from my hotmail.

    Same as what Ben Wood said.

    Can you grab the operations manager title bar and slide the whole box to the right? Then grab the LEFT edge of the box and move right. Then grab the title bar again and slide left. Can you now grab the right side of the box?
  18. cncworker
    Can you at least do Alt+O to close the OM, so you can work on a drawing?
  19. cncworker
    Do you have dual monitors?
  20. cncworker
    Try this. I think i got your problem to resemble on my computer too. I had it all the way to the right edge and couldn't grab the edge either. So what i did, i left clicked and held on the operations manager word at the top like you have been and i was able to slide it to the left just a little. but it was enough to grab the right edge and resize it.
  21. cncworker
    Ok, then try left click and hold on OM and slide that box all the way to the left of the screen. Has to be on the bar at the top.
  22. cncworker
    Double click where is says "operations manager" Left mouse button, double click.
  23. cncworker
    When you have the dialog box open to enter your comment, (M00) under the NCI output method, pick output as code instead of comment. Or you'll have to edit the post.

    We ended up getting the drills from MA Ford, ( ordered from MSC online) Series #205, MSC part #20506250. It is a carbide drill with 135 degree point, .625 length of flute. I programmed it for 6000 rpm, 12.0 feed. .02 peck. Had 134 holes to drill. I changed drills half way through. Never broke, just wanted to make sure had a fresh drill. Not sure what the holes were for. Not wire edm starters though. Possibly, the customer was blowing air thru them. Yes we will throw them away, although they still looked sharp.

    Thanks for the input. I have presented some options to the boss, now up to him. We'll see what he chooses.
