Thanks, That fixed it for me also.

Now when I use the CAMplete plugin out of Mastercam 2023 it takes me to CAMplete 2024. Not what I wanted. Life was much simpler back when I used a post processor.

I just installed CAMplete 2024 and selected the 2024 Mastercam plugin. It didn't work for me. I checked in add/remove programs and the installer says the plugin is installed. I'll mess around a bit more to see if I can get it working. Just came here to check here to see if anyone else was having trouble.

If there are certain areas of the post you want to edit the post writer may be willing to remove that section from the .psb file. Our Okuma post had the drilling section in the .psb file and I ask our reseller if we could possibly get the drill section in the .pst file. They were able to get it removed for me so I can now edit our drilling section.

If you can get away with a 1/16" radius you can buy cutters with that profile. https://www.harveytool.com/products/runner-cutters I would think someone would sell metric ones but in a quick google search I didn't find any.

I'm seeing the same problem.

It is a 2021 file.

I think I have it the way you want on a sample file. Take a look at the file I've attached and see if it is what your looking for. Test.mcam

Set your WCS to top and your toolplane to front.

In the configuration file uncheck the box for automatically calculate HST defaults to stop the step over from changing in dynamic milling. As others mentioned checking the box for lock feedrates will prevent the feedrates from changing.

I haven't installed Verisurf since Mastercam added the hole axis. The hole axis was very useful but everything I've worked on recently has been in solids so I haven't needed it. After seeing a few mentioned pierce point I looked up what it does. I could have used that a few times over the years. I might have to start installing it again.

As long as you use the advance option in the migration tool and only select tool libraries it won't hurt anything to try it again;

Have you tried rebooting the computer? I've see it fix many weird issues.

Another way is to use the toolpath editor to adjust the lead out. I just used it a week ago to dynamic rough a undercut with a keyseat cutter and got exactly what I wanted. The one downside to the toolpath editor is that it locks the toolpath. If you need to make any changes you have to unlock it then go thru the process again to reedit the retract point.

We have the same problem. As a partial solution I have it set up to kick all users off in the middle of the night so each day there are licenses available in the morning. Directions below to stop then restart the nethasp in the middle of the night to close any open Mastercam seats Save the following as a .bat file on the computer with the Nethasp NET STOP "HASP Loader" ping -n 30 127.0.0.1 NET START "HASP Loader" exit Then go to the task scheduler start/all programs/accessories/system tools/task scheduler Create a basic task and for action select start a program and then select the .bat file you saved Once the task is created it needs to be edited to run as administrator Find the task you created in the task scheduler library and right click and select properties Check the box for "Run with the highest privileges"

What is the benefit of using the c-hook instead of the migration wizard?

Do you have to bring it into Coral or could you send the DXF file directly to the machine?

Unfortunately Roger passed away last year. Eric at Prototek and Mick from Mastercam teamed up to update his file for Mastercam 2021 though. It can be found here http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic27430.aspx I've been using the Prototek tool for a few years but before that I did it without. I can't remember all the details but I think you can just move the shared folder to the network and then change the configuration file on each computer to its location. The Prototek tool is probably the safest way though.

Our DNC computer still has a serial port so we haven't run into this yet. You can get PCI to serial port add on cards. I'd probably try one or two and see if that works. There might be issues getting some to work. Years ago I had trouble with a PCI to parallel card not working with Surfcams hardware key. Changed to a different brand and it worked.

I run a Kitamura with a Fanuc 16i control using G54.2 and can probe the part in X,Y,Z, and C axis. G54 is set to the machine center of rotation. I probe the part position into another offset and I have a macro program that does the math and transfers the correct values into the dynamic fixture offset. I have my post setup to call the macro program at each toolchange. On my machine I need to use G54.2 for 2 and 3 axis toolpaths but for full 5 axis I need to use TCP (G43.4). For G43.4 I can simply probe the value into a offset. I have my post setup to post out G54.2 or G43.4 depending on the toolpath being used. The way I'm setup I can probe the part position into any offset between G55 and G58 and run the program as posted out of Mastercam.

A number of years ago with our nethasp we could not use Mastercam after it expired. Before we switched to the nethasp it didn't seem to matter. Maybe it has changed now.

If it is not the update you might have to register the SwDocumentMgr.dll file. I have to do this once or twice a year. Instructions on how to do it are in the knowledgebase area of Mastercam's website. https://kb.mastercam.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50231.aspx?Keywords=swdocumentmgr.dll

Are you trying to eliminate all lines that have a "D2"? If so I think it should be fairly easy.

It all depends on the post writer. One of our posts came with the drill section encrypted and one did not. I told our reseller I wanted to do some edits to the drilling and they were able to get the drilling section removed from the .psb file for me.

Just checked in 2020 and it is not there either.
