  1. I have been digging through the forums and gotten my G10 lines to output correctly at the beginning of the programs on my Makino post. Now I am having trouble getting it to output a list of tool planes used. Someone set up our Okuma post to do similar to what I want, but I can't figure out what they have done. I can get it to output the plane name, but it only outputs the first one at every G10. Here is what I am getting....The L20 P2 should be the Right plane. How do I get the buffer to read and right the correct string? My current code in the post for that area...... # Ouptut the G10 list in order #------------------------------------------------------------------ #--------------- Initialize variables size9 = rbuf(9,0) rc9 = 1 wc9 = 1 idx9 = 0 b9_tox = 0 b9_toy = 0 b9_toz = 0 b9_workofs = 0 b9_stoolplname = 0 while idx9 <= b9_test, [ while rc9 <= size9, [ b9_tox = rbuf(9,rc9) if b9_workofs = idx9, [ p_wcs = b9_workofs + 1 if use_g10 = 1, [ b9_toy = b9_toy - 33.4205 # Added for machine shift JWN b9_toz = b9_toz - 37.4104 # Added for machine shift JWN p_wcs = p_wcs - 6 # Added to correct output of P word JWN n$, "G10", "L20", *p_wcs, *b9_tox, *b9_toy, *b9_toz, e$ n$, *scomm_str, stoolplname,*scomm_end, e$ #n$, "(-)", e$ ] if use_g10 = 2, [ b9_toy = b9_toy - 33.4205 # Added for machine shift JWN b9_toz = b9_toz - 37.4104 # Added for machine shift JWN p_wcs = p_wcs - 6 # Added to correct output of P word JWN n$, "G10", "L20", *p_wcs, b9_tox, *b9_toy, *b9_toz, *srot_label, no_spc$, "0", e$ n$, *scomm_str, stoolplname, scomm_end, e$ #n$, "(-)", e$ ] ] ] idx9 = idx9 + 1 rc9 = 1 ] And the output I am getting.... % O0000 (T) (MCX FILE - C:\USERS\E0464088\DOCUMENTS\BILLYTHREADMILL.MCAM) (PROGRAM - T.NC) (DATE - JUN-30-2020) (TIME - 9:46 AM) (MPMASTER GENERIC 3/4-AXIS HORIZONTAL) (MACHINE GROUP-1) ( **************************** ) ( TOOL LIST ) (T1 - THREAD MILL - 0.745 - "R0.0000) (T2 - THREAD MILL - 0.25 - "R0.0000) N100 G00 G17 G20 G40 G80 G90 N110 (------------- WORK OFFSETS ------------) N120 G10 L20 P1 Y-33.4205 Z-37.4104 B0 N130 ( FRONT ) N140 G10 L20 P2 Y-33.4205 Z-37.4104 B0 N150 ( FRONT ) N160 (------------- WORK OFFSETS ------------) N170 G91 G28 Z0.

  2. That helped me figure it all out. Thank you Bear.....
  3. I am working on a MPMaster post to output G10s on a horizontal. I have it so it will output the first work offset, but will not post the remaining rotations. I have tried, most everything I can find in the forums, but am having no luck. The buffering is over my head. I am wondering if anyone has a copy of the G10 posts that were on the old ftp site. I cannot access that anymore. Might be my firewall at work, or it's just gone. Thanks in advance.
  4. Would you care to share what you changed from MPMaster? I am trying to add this exact functionality. I am unable to access the ftp site anymore. Thanks in advance.
  5. We've had nothing but trouble with our Hurco....But we have the VMX42SR. I think it has been down as much, if not more, than it has been up.
  6. I have this problem also. Have tried everything. I have to exit and restart MC. It will chain correctly once I do this. Real pain in the @ss. We engrave all of our fixtures, so it's a daily routine. Although it only happens on my PC. The other programmers are not having that problem.
  7. Gcode....I'll get right on that....
  8. Randy, do you do all that with a .set file?
  9. Thanks guys. Tried the In House demo, and first time I ran it, it said it was expired. Guess I'll make my own....Thanks again. Jerry
  10. I'm finding that the setup sheets for multi axis lathes, that come with MC, pretty much suck. What are you guys using for setup sheets? I would like something that will output the lathe AND milling tools together. Using X3 MU1 btw. Thanks in advance. Jerry
  11. G, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI, but I think I need to recant my last statement. I rebooted and have since tried to duplicate the problem, and I can't. So far so good.
  12. Already having trouble with using solids as material in verify. If I click the X to exit verify, I get an error about art. Also leaves a wierd blank image on the screen that I can't get rid of. Would like to see if anyone else can duplicate this, as I had some strange things going on before with tool wireframe staying on the screen after backplotting in X3.
  13. Did not have these issues in X2, but here goes. Dell Precision PWS470 Xenon 3.6ghz CPU 3gig RAM NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 SDI 256meg RAM XP Pro SP2
  14. Got rid of the ghost geometry by shutting down X3 and restarting. I also ran ramsaver and rebuilt display just before restarting. It was still there after those two, but gone after the restart. Go figure.
