I can’t find a generic Post for a Makino. I would be willing to trade Post I have if someone has tweaked a Post for a Makino A88 Horizontal. I have good post for. Mori Seiki SH63 Horizontal Hitachi Seiki HS500 Horizontal HAAS VMC Niigata Horizontal Okuma VMC Normally I tweak them myself. But I’m short on time. So I’m looking for some help.

Well I’m back. I was transferred to another facility and was put on the shop floor running a Horizontal, until they found out I could program with MasterCam. So much for the gravy job. Now I’m back in a cubical. I was working on the OKUMA Post, and got it to post the way I wanted, except for one problem. On a Drill Canned Cycle G81 line. It’s posting out a M54 (M99), I need a M53 (M98). I searched the forum and found nothing on this. So I’m guessing it’s something simple, that I’m not seeing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jim.

I haven’t been on the forum for a while. So maybe this has been discussed. But, has any body had trouble converting the new Auto Cad 2004 files. It converts fine. But nothing shows up on the screen. Jim.

Yes I'm useing 9.1 SP1. Looks like I need to update. Thanks. Jim.

Did I get Black listed? Or does no one understand what I'm saying here?

I’m trying to helix ramp down on the center of a hole. When I pick Entry-Ramp a window comes up with two tabs. A Ramp and Helix tab. If I don’t change a thing on either of these pages. My tool ramps down in a zig zag. If I go to the helix page and change my max and min radi, no mater what I set it to, it crashes. And I have to restart Mastercam. Any ideas what’s going on? Jim.

Great machines! A shop I worked at in KC, had 3 of them. They hold very tight tolerances and are very rigid due to their box ways.

It also works well if you want to ramp down into a center line of an ID. Then circle out. Pick Pocket, then set it to start from inside to out. Set your ramp. And your good to go.

Never mind. I got it. Thanks anyway. Jim.

Can someone tell me how to shut off the B axis in the post? I need to create a macro program that will move my B axis where I need it. So I don’t want any B’s in my main program. I found where I can shut off the lock and unlock. But I’m still getting B moves. Or getting my B moves to incremental would work also. Jim.

THANKS!!! That worked.

Damn I'm blind! I can't find ant older than 6-30-03

The mp.dll file I have is dated 6-30-03 is there a later one? And if so, where would it be? The only one I can find is 6-30-03

Ok, I do have the 9.14 is there a 9.15?

Ok, I'll check my mp.dll maybe I have the wrong one. Thanks.
