You sure?, works here Open Mastercam=>Machine Type=>(Your selection)=>Settings=>Control definition manager=>Operation Defaults=>(Your selection)”Pocket”=>Parameters=>Planes=>Check Workoffset, input number=>”Green Check mark”=>”Green Check mark”=>Save(Disk icon)=>”Green Check mark”=>Yes=>”Green Check Mark”=>Exit Mastercam=>Save File to Desktop=>Delete File on Desktop=>Open Mastercam normally.

You can go Control Definition=>Operation Default and set it for each operation type. Just make sure that you close Mastercam and save the the file to the desktop or something (you can delete it afterwards) then it should stick. HTH Lars

From Renishaw pdf. quote: Spinning the Probe Off – Macro O9833 DESCRIPTION This macro is used to spin the probe off prior to it being used. The probe is retracted to a safe start plane, where the above format is used to switch the probe off prior to a tool change. There is a loop in the software, which will tries to de-activate the probe up to four times. An alarm results if the probe does not switch off. It should be noted that a small automatic Z axis movement takes place within the macro to test if the probe is active. This means that the G28 reference return must be done following this macro, otherwise the G28 position is not effective. NOTE: The probe tool offset must be active. FORMAT M98P9833 EXAMPLE G65P9810Z100. Retract to a safe plane with the tool offset still active. G65P9833 Spin the probe off. G91 G28Z0 Retract HTH Lars

Think it is coming from me signing up Here back in the day, got it emailed to me

Nice, like it very much pdf

Check out the pdf in your document folder for the debugger. Take the time to read it carefully, it is a little like dancing the Tango, one wrong step and you are

Nope go ahead get it installed brother

Good to see you back Phil

Really X3 shows pecks , wow I better test that tomorrow Thanks bud

I am sure Haas will take it back, but in all fairness you probably should pay for transport, install, transport, rent of machine and restocking charge. If you buy a brand new car and after 2 weeks the fuel pump fails, would you send the car back or be satisfied by getting a extended warranty on the fuel pump?

What version of Solidworks? SW2009 into X3

and then you can place another Mastercam icon on the desktop and in the target string have something like this: code: C:/mcamx/mastercam.exe"NAMEOFCONFIG.config"

I am opening SW2009 slddrw files fine, seems like some of the text is a little off, but no crash.

Thank you Pete

Let the force be with you

Jack, I had SW2009 before X3

gcode, I have been using your methods, but I started using the WCS inside Mastercam instead for the reason of getting the "feature tree" details inside Mastercam. Now I still got some issues with "pattern" holes that do not show up in Mastercam, and supposedly that was noted as a bug through [email protected]

Thanks Thad

Thad, Download the program, but where about in the mcx directory do you find the dialog pages?

Always gone to my control definition through my machine definition manager, but can only get to operation default through control definition manager.
