Thank You from me too!, I was looking for the opposite, that is it not checked, as I have two doosan dnm, one 650 and one 6700, which has on the 6700 only new G05 look ahead and not using G08 which is a lower option,. When I programmed before I got the dnm 6700 in january i used G08 in some programs, and when i run those now it errors out, with this add in the pst file with : if miscerror & miscvalon = 1 instead of 0 i got what I needed for my output. So, now its testing and see if its ok in the future!, thank You!

Not sure if this is what You mean, but it is an own tab for it left bottom on the screen, hope this helps!

I was more interested in the pdf, the T-shirt can i get from my dealer in Norway i guess, we all like free t-shirts i guess, but as long as its free shipping on the pdf ebook i am alright! lol Browsing in the ebook now, and already found good value!, tnx again...

Thanks for pointing me in that direction, I remembered some of the lathe stuff, from earlier purchase, and bought the c and y axis pdf for METRIC!, lol. (remembered that when i saw the new 2018 version was added!) Better deal for me, as I noticed if I was buying the T-Shirt would the shipping cost be rocket high!, or was it free shipping of bundles? :-) Still, I plan to hop on the site wide subscription awhile in the future, I guess that is a good value for your great education material! Hope jlw™ get his t-shirt, otherwise maybe I have to sponsor him, if he bare the shipping!. I guess he is shaved! ----- Have fun and remember to smile!

Clear winner? Lol. Of 2 votes here on lathe and I am one of two, i guess lathe is next one out, ☺, is the t-shirt still bundled then?, lol. Joke aside, is the lathe with example on sub spindle, c axis, part transfer, etc, i guess it stiil is interesting, have an doosan puma 240 ms i would like to get more out of... Have a great friday sale!

Hi! First of all I like to kindly ask for some help, and bear with me as it is my first post here of a question so if this forum is the wrong place i apologize in advance. Finally get my post processor up and running in 2018, and did the switch from X9. I have some trouble with some files in 2017 and now 2018 when open files with transform operation When i open some of the files created in X9 and earlier in 2018 I get this message: If I choose yes it will regenerate the operations and let me post the G codes, If I chose no it will give me this ERROR message I choose geometry and not NCI as source, and just copy the source operations, not making new, and are using G54-G57 between points for a 4 vice setup. this is the settings: The Gcodes produced is not any different in X9 post or 2018 Post. the G codes is correct and I think I can still use the settings only with NCI as source. Any suggestions on this?

Hi! Hope this helps on the print columns settings

I often get that dialog up when i make tool list with X+. I use Mastercam X9, and it pops up when i make the tool sheet and it should open MS Excel, but instead this box come up telling me server is busy, Just have to wait a while, and try to see if the server is online again. I use google drive for my files, and have thought this is related to that server since that needs syncronizing sometimes, but maybe this is mastercam related to just having a slow pc since the server is busy? LOL Google drive is ok for having the shared files on, and the config file, so I can work at home and and work with the same setup, it would be nice to get the vpn up and running so the dongle does not be needed to have back and forth though. anyway, i have only had that error message when trying to make an X+ tool sheet, not any other things. Still, the X+ is still fast and easy and worthwile waiting for, error aside!

Tried in my machine, parameter is not possible to edit by MDI, only CNC automatically, se attached image. I guess you need an investigation of the 8 digit number from your machine tool builder or fanuc representative to figure that out.

Hi! I use Fanuc Program transfer Tool. There you have choices of setting up machines, to look both in catalog of the NC or the Dataserver, depending on your setup. You can have the program on different computers, I do not know of the licence then, but I using only 1 computer at the time on it, I have ethernet cable installation and get a machine list and see the programs on the machine and on my computer, a little old interface, but it does the job perfect of transferring programs back and forth. Fanuc A08B-9510-J515 is the article number on the cd rom, it is not a costly solution, ( removed price due to Forum guidelines, sorry to have price here in first place... ) I have 2 milling machines and 1 lathe in the setup, with fixed IP adresses, and you can have different setups of the directories of each machine. Hope this helps at all, as it does not seems possible to do what you asked in first place.

Hi! I tried import of your step file in 2017 update 3 and 2018 pb4 beta, worked fine. The tool came up fine, and the measures are correct I am using metric mode in MC. Tools have to be rotated as the video instructs to the right plane, learned that from trial and error... (before the video was out actually) Sometimes i have had trouble with the .sldprt files and had need for register the .dll again, not sure if that is the same with .stp files Have you also tried to rename the file, it has a long name and maybe windows related... DXF file of the file, and save to stp. will that help you, as asked in last post from taperlength ? -Have fun and remember to smile! Regards from Norway, Geir

HI! I have found that if you play with the input dialog box in toolpath statistics : Tool change time, and Rapid speed and change the values there, you will at least get the overall All time to be pretty close to the proven program from the machine. I run a part in the machine, and record the values, then I adjust those 2 values to reflect what the proven program gives me. I have tried to use mastercam info of the times, but they have not been as accurate as Cimco in fact, for me that is, I mainly drill cavity holes or mill holes up before reaming cavity holes for Hydraulic ports, so i have not so much need for mastercam to quoting parts. I like to use cimco for simulation of G codes, to see what exactly goes in to the machine, Mastercam and Cimco together is a good value, backplotter in cimco works really well at least for my need, sometimes after updates it has been needed to get the backup of config file up and put back again, but the updates the company does are often and stable. Best regards from Norway, Geir -Have fun and remember to smile!

Little off topic maybe, but Nice and clean setup sheet, good work! I hope some samples like this sheet was coming with mastercam one day, it would cover my need at least for the start. I am using x+ for now but would use active reports if it was like your setup. Hope you figure out the d.o.c also for your sheet. I am not asking for the setup sheet, I just liked the design of it, and hope to develop something like it myself when i have moved to 2018 version I hope soon is out, looking forward to finally merge from x9 to the new design of Mastercam.
