Docked one of the panels. Then I dragged the other panel over to the docked panel. Wait a second for the little display to pop up and drop it on the center screen display.
Hello all
Working in Mastercam 2017 and I have the levels/toolpath/planes/solids operation manager panel on my second monitor. I clicked on the levels tab and dragged it over so now I have two panels on the second monitor. one is the levels manager and the other is the toolpaths/planes/solids manager panel. My question is how can I make the levels manager apart of the toolpath/planes/solids manager panel again so I only have one panel?
Thanks ahead of time.

Hello all. I'm having some difficulty posting out an "N" number at the beginning of a operation. Can anyone give me some help? I only want it when there has been a tool change.
I'm currently using X8.

Hello all.
We got a new Centroid 3 axis knee mill and I was asked to see if one of the post that comes with mastercam will work with it or if we need to get one quoted for our machine.
Thanks ahead of time.

Thanks guys. I will start fresh and see what I get. appreciate the help and the info. Would it be better to use the haas post or the fanuc 5x mill post. the machine is fanuc control. any pros and cons with one versus the other?

Thank you.
I made my post look like what you posted and then I posted out the third eration (rough left side) and I get C-90. instead of C180. Did you do anything with the misc. values? This is driving me crazy. Very Frustrating. I feel it's pretty close but I can't figure it out.
Also, I know about the errors but not sure how to fix them. All I've been doing is editing a generic haas 5th axis post. not sure where they came from.
Here is a zip file of the file I'm currently working on.
I had to remove a few of the larger toolpathes to get the file size down but my 5 axis moves are still in there.
Attached also is a copy of what the program should look like. ( I compared it to a file I ran through Camplete)
I want to get away from using Camplete and just have Mastercam post out the code.
Thank you so much for your help.

FIRST OPERATION.zip
When I do this:
rotaxis2$ = vecz #Zero <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< try changing this to vecx
rotdir2$ = vecy #Direction
I get this:
M69
M72
T4 M6(.093" ENDMILL | TOOL DIA. - .0938)
G00 G90 G56 X.6559 Y-.0596 C23.95 B0. S8149 M03
M68
M71
and it should be:
M69
M72
T4 M6(.093" ENDMILL | TOOL DIA. - .0938)
G00 G90 G56 X-3.8823 Y-.0596 C-66.05 B30.9889 S8149 M03
M68
M71
I also get a error message when posting which says SETUP FOR PRIMARY OR SECONDARY AXIS IS ILLEGAL.
I emailed my reseller 3 weeks ago to look into this for me and I haven't heard back from them. I sent them a sample file (zip2go). I sent a reminder email today and still not reply.
thank you however I made the correction in the post and now all my coordinates are off by 90 degrees including the X and Y values except for the B values.
I should have mentioned that it is a mill. I got a table on table configuration with a small trunnion on the table.
