OK ToolMan, I have another one. Is it possible to re-organize the View Names? Thanks

WOW!! 240,000 RPM j/k

Check this out!! Installation is required on the remote PC. Ive used it a couple times and works great. Make sure you use a legit address. Log Me In HTH

Thank you - It had to be so simple!!

Can anybody tell me how to rename the view names? Ive looked in help and just cant seem to find it. Thanks all.

code: # Start of File and Toolchange Setup # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- pheader #Start of file !spaces spaces = 0 q1 #Need for question prompt q1 is what displays the question in here for fq 1 code: # Prompt message strings # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- fq 1 tool_lngth Enter the Feed/Part Length [0 = OFF]: Should be able to place a # in front of any q's you dont want to answer. BTW - Back up the post first. HTH

Randy, this is what I do to add 1 to the subs. code: main_prg_no = main_prg_no + sav_progno #Add sub number offset HTH

Chris, That worked. Just wish I could find out why it doesnt work the "right" way.

quote: There should be a setting in your op to make full pass at final depth. When using "angle", full pass at final depth is not available in V9 or X. Not sure why it works in V9?

Hey all, In V9, when doing a countour-ramp toolpath, the cutter would make a complete circle for the last pass at final depth. In X, the final pass at final depth is not happening. See sample code below. I dont see aything in the post's so I dont know where or how to fix it. Any help is appreciated. Code From V9 (Modified Fanuc Post) code: O01001 (1504-20-20-BG 2.000" X 90 DEG.

Thanks guys. It will be a couple hours yet before I can test this info. All other suggstions are still welcome!!!

Is it possible to "jump" to a specific line when going to a sub program? O1000 (MAIN) N1 M98 P9000 (GOTO LINE 100) M30 N2 M98 P9000 (GOTO LINE 200) M30 O9000 (SUB) N100 (MACHINE CODE #1) M99 N200 (MACHINE CODE #2) M99 This is a HAAS machine. Any suggestions if this wont work?

Thanks John. I'll have to work on it and see if I can make it work!!!

John, This is for X? Would you post a sample program with multiple, peck tap holes. Thanks

Randy, Open the file named thread.tbl in your MCAMX2 folder. You can add/mofify to your spec's. HTH

I'm still having a problem!!! Any body else???

Thanks guys. Both good options. Just need to re-train myself. You know what they say about old dog's and new tricks!!!!

Is it just me, or is "recent files" not available any more. Is there a way to get it back???? I see the file name has the option now to look at recent files, but not quite as quick. Some times our file names can get quick long too.

Looks like I got it now. . . .not sure what i did? As long as it works

When posting a program, the M08 will not post. I did some searching and found what should fix it "support coolant using coolant value in post-processor". I have "checked" this, but still no M08. Any ideas? Using a modified V9 Fanuc Post updated to X.

Jimmy, That got it. Thanks !!!!! Hopefully I can get X going to my liking soon and do away V9.

Didnt help!!!! V9 - Hasp not found V10 - Runs fine

I'll give it a shot!!

Its not default, but I use it once in a while. Why?
