  1. Hey folks.... Been a long time. I am looking for a download link to the arcmultiedit chook for V6. Anyone?
  2. Hey gang! Been awhile. I have 2 files from a customer that are Alphacam ARD files. Anyone here able to open and save to Mcam or DXF for me? I had to change extension to .PDF to upload them so you will have to change them back to an ARD extension. Thanks in advance. end cap 1.pdf endcap2.pdf
  3. Hello all !!! Been a long time since I have dropped in for a visit. I have a couple of Alphacam files a customer has sent me and was wondering if a friendly soul had an Alphacam license and could convert them to a dxf or mcam file for me? I had to change the file extension to PDF but they are still .ARD files. Thanks in advance gang. end cap 1.pdf endcap2.pdf
  4. Thanks MG. Well that is a start. That will change the default value in the field but I still have to remember to check the box to use the value.
  5. No answers in Off Topic so I will try here. I am having problems cornering on my main machine and have to slow the corners down to 175IPM. I just tried to set it in my default file but it won't let me. Is there a way to set this so it is always set to what I need? I keep forgetting to set it and have to go back and repost files.
  6. Try M14 for on and M15 for off. Found this info on a generic mill code page.
  7. If it had a Fanuc control I could easily adapt my router post to work. Not sure on this control as I have zero experience with them and lasers.
  8. I have a customer who just purchased a Cincinnati Laser with CL-707 control. Anyone using Mcam to program a laser? What post would you start with?
  9. That process works great for me. I use both methods as I have a library built with commonly used ops and then I also use Racerx's method and go grab another file and pull ops out as well.
  10. Great tools. Used Komet to core and bore large gate valve castings back in my 4 axis lathe days.
  11. This is too wierd!!! I went back and did the program in X2 MR2 and posted it fine as usual. I had started with a similar part from X2 to start with. I then opened the good X2 file in X3MU1 and it posted perfectly!!! Scary stuff.
  12. my machine and control def are set correctly. I have used the same lead in/out for years and it is working correctly except on pockets until this morning and now it is sretracting in xyz all of a sudden.
  13. Just noticed it is also retracting on XYZ instead of just Z as it is supposed to do!!! What is wrong here?
