    Try create---point---next menu---small arcs---then put a big radius in Max Radius. It do the job perfectly.

    John, If you're on V9, try the DWGIN patch... It could be the problem. If you're on V8, try older V8 patchs. Hope it could help

    Jay Do you have 9.1 beta3? If yes, for now I think it's just the scroll zoom that work's Do you have the MCUtils C-hook from Intercam? It work's very well.

    As a fast answer, I would said: Toolpath transform rotate 180 deg. Other than that, check your clearance plane (incremental), check the plane you're using for this operation so that Z is on the good side. Hope it help.

    Dans la version 8, si ma mémoire est bonne, tu dois faire la même démarche sauf que, une fois dans le op defaults, il faut que tu "right-click" dans l'espace blanc et sélectionne job setup dans la liste.

    Bobcam, Tu peux écrire ta question en français, il y aura toujours quelque pour la traduire. Bienvenue sur le forum

    You have to put the ASCII number... for #, I think it's 35.

    Hummm I think the only thing you can do is: operation manager >>right-click >>Toolpath >>Import NCI. And use Autosave...

    One more thing, to continue James's answer. I think that the product was very good for older mazak controls. On newer fusion controls, there's some features that are'nt in the mazatrol post. I've send a lot of requests to Camaix. Their support is quite good. Be sure that you've the latest version of the product. There's still a lot of improvement to do but compared to others competitor's product, I think it's better. A windows version is under development.

    Guy, As I look at your name... are you french speaking? Just curious

    I'm really satisfied of my Toshiba Satellite Pro...with a 9 pins serial port for DNC...

    Instead of "right click", just select the operation you want to ghost and hit "P".

    B Whale, Just a tip, When you create solid from surf and Mastercam ask you if you want to "create curve on open edges", it meen your surf model have a missing or bad surface. What I do: At the question, I click Yes and change the current color to a color not used in my drawing(ei:red). After, I delete the solid, Alt-E, select All color (ei:red),done. Now I know exactly where the problem is. So I create a new surf with theses curves and redo solid from surf... More, you can try analyse, surfaces, Check model. Hope it help

    HA!HA! I got you all!!! No just kidding. GOO was G00 in fact... Thank's you all for the input.
  17. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Is it managed in your post? How do you program it in Mastercam? Thank's
  18. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Do anybody use a kind of "step drilling"? Something that would look like this: GOO X2.5 Y3.5 Z2. G00 Z.05 G01 Z-.5 F10. G01 Z-1.95 F80. G01 Z-2.5 F10. G00 Z.05 Used to drill square tubing... Thank's
  19. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Probably a post thing.
  20. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    In the tool parameters page of your operation, there's T/C plane button. Click on it and you'll see Work offset. If you put 0, you'll have G54. If you put 1, you'll have G55 (G54+1).
  21. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Johnny, Just a thought, did you try: stock to leave=zero and check surf.=the value you want to leave and select the walls as check surfaces. Maybe...
  22. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    That's fine, I've got some problems before because I was using V9 CD (no SP1) but with the patches.
  23. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    Budgie, If you've some problems with the IPT files, maybe you can download the latest design tracker on the www.mastercam.com page. Hope it help

    quote: just a test for me...
  25. Fred from Université de Sherbrooke
    -Set the stock as cylinder in job set-up or custom stock... -To have more options in 2D toolpath when chaining a solid...like dynamic start in chained contour. -To be able to set some entitys as features...if I put a vise or clamps, that mcam will tell me if crash in it... -No more limitations in Verify. -Be able to draw more than one type of holder.
