  1. Jay thanks for you help, any new knowledge is good knowledge.
  2. Thanks Absolute, I just got a chance to look at the forum today, my job has been working me like crazy, i going to read all the content you provided me tonight. thanks for getting back to me...I let you know how it went in a couple days...most appreciated!
  3. absolute technologies, I developed my horizontal program and Im backploting thru it and the tools go thru the fixture on B180 and B270, is that just what back plotting does when your verifying the toolpath... Also here is the link to the file https://www.dropbox.com/s/4t4pdeca2hz7c7u/MASTERCAM%20HORIZONTAL%20MILL%20PROJECTS%201%20PART.mcx-9?dl=0 It would be most appreciated Absolute if you would take a quick look at it before i go further into my development
  4. len, I just check out that pdf you provided me, talk about a great hand me down thanks alot!
  5. thanks len its highly appreciated for your walk thru and the pdf, I will defiantly read that, macros is something im really trying to get into know so I can understand them more. I work for this company a while ago that ran nothing but mazak hmc, and their Gcode is all macros. it really crazy!. but its a really clean way to run code for production. I almost have their code down....i should post it on here so you guys can see it
  6. Thanks JoshC, Ive been working on horizontal programs for a while know I just havent proved them out on a machine yet, heres is a link to one of my programs I developed, I do understand plans and wcs pretty much mastercam in and out, i just havent have had a chance for another experienced programmer with horizontal prove out my program and let me know were I might be wrong at or if im correct in my development. It would be most appreciated if you would take a quick look and let me know what my mistakes might be. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ucp1zixmecd2nu9/SMART%20TOMBSTONE%20FIXTURE%2070.0401.mcx-9?dl=0 thanks for that file though im going to check it out
  7. is their training out there for just horizontal mill programs
  8. I cant stand Management and Supervisors

  9. Hay guys is curve the same as surface...can i blind the two option to create a model for more effective toolpathing
  10. Colin, First off thanks for the reply. I always have my chain arrow pointing clockwise which is climb cutting, I don't have a problem with basic tool paths dealing with 2d parts. but I just notice that with the tool paths Surface Rough, Surface Finish, Surface High Speed and Multi Axis even though you have the chain arrow pointing in a clockwise direction "climb cutting" it while have the tool path go in a counter clockwise cut "conventional cut". but all these tool paths do provide a option to select "conventional cut" which will then force the tool path to cut in a clockwise direction "climb cutting".
  11. IN MULTIAXIS TOOLPATH SELECTING THE OPTION CIRCLE 5 AXIS, PROCEEDING WITH ALL THE OPTIONS IT PROVIDES IN PARAMETERS IT DOSENT ALLOW YOU TO SELECT THE DIRECTION FOR THE TOOL TO CUT IN CLIMBING, IT JUST CUTS CONVENTIONAL. WHY? OR POCKET TOOLPATH WHEN YOU SELECT THE CHAINING TO PROCEED IN CLIMB CUT DIRECTION IT CUTS IN CONVINTIONAL, ENLESS YOU GO TO THE OPTION IN PARAMETERS "CUT PARAMETERS" SELECT CONVENTIONAL FOR THE MACHING DIRECTION. WHY?
