  5. It would be nice to have a funtion key to turn the mastercam Main Menu on and off, like Alt+B, Alt+P turn tool bar, Promt on & off
  6. Thanks for quick reply. I downloaded the Scrip "Flip.Zip" but it works for "X" axis only, So can you add the "y" on the VB and J for G02/G03 block,that would be nice sorry I was not clear with first post.
  7. Roger, My company just bought a KIA V25P this machine has oposite X and Y direction too,and I do not know VB at all ,would you please show me how to edit with Y and J with Vb? Thanks in advance dnguyen
  8. I got it working now thanks, but I had the messages said when I am trying to posted it out Postblock label mtlchg0 Selector variable g_spdir = 2.0 out of range for string select.
  9. on a bolt circle i always used the c and t plane for the first hole then a transform-rotate opp. never could seem to get the c-axis toolpaths to work right. always used mill toolpaths for drilling and milling ------------------------------------ We have the CNC lathe Moriseiki SL-25Y with 4th axis, but I never done with mill toolpaths yet, Lathe guy, how do you set c and t plane for using mill toolpaths? thanks Do nguyen
  10. --------------------------------- Merge only brings in geometry. If you want operations brought in, right click inside the Operation Manager and click Get from library... ---------------------------- You have to save the operation that you want brought into library first,then Get from library Dnguyen1
  11. like you said, I reunzip the patch files again, and it's working good now. Thanks Jame
  12. On last friday I got the Mc crash, and I never had problem like this before when I went to the Operation Manager tried to copy and paste the toolpath operation then Mastercam crashed out, I restart my computer and ran MC aganin and again but it still does same thing, has anyone here had like this? if so how do you solve the problem, Thanks for help dnguyen1
  13. I want to thank everybody for helpful respond my request, this forum is the best. Dnguyen1
  14. Hi all, I have one part to mill the flat patern first before sent to the press machine and bend it up, Does anyone has any mothod or better idea to do the flat patern off from the 3D model with Mastercam? I am using mastercam 9.1. Thanks Dnguyen1
  15. Gcode, ------------------------------------------- Many times a regular surfacing toolpath will not give you the results you want. You can... 1. Create a 2d pocket toolpath that meets your requirements 2. Backplot, saving the geometry 3. Trim or modify the geometry if needed 4. Project the geometry onto a surface as a 3d toolpath. ---------------------------------------------- I never done backplot, saving the geometry before, so after I save and modify geometry the next step is toolpath, surface, and project on Curve, is that right? dnguyen
  16. My company start doing a lot of extrusion works that scale dimensions off from the mylar, and we have one digitize (Calcom, drawing board III), but we don't kwow how to set it up because, we lost the digitize manual. Any help would be appreciated. dnguyen1

    A2 Steel

    Jame, With the A2 steel I think you can use the HANTA Varimill with Tialn coated you can buy them through ARSON-Cambell. Currently they are 55% off we been cutting the stainless steel with SFPM of 250 and have to full depth of cut, it cut like Alumninum. Incredible & you'll like it
  23. Anyone can help me how to customize the drill parameter? Because My drill parameter that doest'n has a peck drill cycle, when I tried to do the deep hole, it's just happened this morning. Thanks for your help
