Can anyone recommend a Charmilles repair guy in the Midwest? Charmilles says 2 weeks before they can send a repairman.

I've always wanted this. I just thought Master cam didnt have it. Can I have something say on level 5 be translucent and something on level 6 be solid?

So do I right click on the operation, or the geometry icon, I think I'm missing something. When I go to select surfd it still highlights drive and ckeck in the same color.

Is there a way to change to color of check surfaces. When I have an operation and I go back to maybe re-pick geometry, or check out what surfs I've used, the drive, and the check surfaces are displayed in the same color. This makes it hard to determine which is which. I've looked through config but didn't see anything.

We "used" to have these valenite cutters for our bridgeports. They were 3/4" shank and took triangular inserts (tnga 2.522.150) We liked them alot. There was one for face/side milling and another for plunge milling. I have one of the part numbers although i don't know which one this is. p-vmtn-100r-00-cb I can't them anywhere and I think valenite has been bought out. I guess they no longer make them. I'd love to know if anyone has a lead on these cutters and if not what are you using that you like. we mainly do s-7 soft and hard, p-20, 4130 sometimes aluminium.

Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks!

I had "G83 Z.625 Z.01 Z.01 F2.8" and it said no R value. So I added an R "G83 Z.625 Z.01 Z.01 R.1 F2.8" cutter comes to .1 above part feeds to Z0 and then moves to next operation. How should this line look? All calls to Hurco lead to extended time on hold with cheesy muzak.

I don't use groups. At least I hardly ever use groups that is. Can I disable it so it doesn't make a group and change my geometry color everytime I xform?

I have a conversational control that I would like to store a DXF. file in with the geometry for a 1/4-18 NPT thread mill. I know that I can draw a helix, but I'm not sure how to get it to follow the taper and lead in and out.

We get the same error often. I change to computer for compensation type. It has to do with the arc on radius (or off). When you check the draw screen you will see some funky arc that shouldn't be there. When I first started seeing that error I went through each line of code individually till I came up with the solution. Thats where it happens when the cutter comp turns on or off. Yes sometimes it will do a small arc and the next arc could be twice as big and it'll gag.

Great! It posted with no errors. Thanks for the help guys. Now I just have to check it at the machine. Thanks again.

Made those changes. Now I'm only getting the lnes 236 and 237 math calc/formula error. It cleared up the errors on lines 242, 245, and 300.

Same errors. This post has been here as long as I have. 10 years. Its been updated using the post utility update thingy that comes with each new version of MC since V8. A post request is in, but I haven't heard back yet. Hurcos can be a little different than the standard Fanuc.

(236)yes$ := # Set yes = 1 (237)no$ := # Set no = 0

(242)omitz$ : no$ # Omit first Z movement for non-canned-cycles (245)omitrefht$ : no$ # Don't use reference height on first non-canned Z move (300)usemr1$ : no$ # Use mr1 for tool diameter instead of param page input should I just delete the $, or move it, where?
