  1. Hi everyone, I get a class H 5 ah error when I try to load a program. I'm new to this shop and using the company Mastercam to create and post to the machine. Any help would be great and thank you.
  2. That worked perfect. thank you very much.
  3. Hi everyone, I took a fixture with a part on it and wanted to expand the fixture and make more parts without messing with picking new geometry and without a different setup for each part. When I use toolpath transform, and add the center distance between the parts it runs verify fine but only posts the first x and Y values and wants to recut the same part four times. Any help would be great. I have a simple sample for a visual of what I want to do.
  4. Thank you, I will try both. To get it to verify correctly, do I make a new toolpath to copy the operations to with the bottom plane?.
  5. Hi everyone, I have been away from programming for a while and lost my mind. I'm trying to run a simple handle part, mill one side, flip it over in the same vise and not change the WPC and run the other side. What is the best process to do this and have vreify show both sides being completed. My parts are in the middle of the stock so nothing should need changed I'm guessing.Thank you for any help. I'm using Mastercam 2022.
  6. This is killing me, the z zero is set off the locating surface, it is the same G54 Z-6.0880 and has ran the same jobs for 5 years. For some reason the Y changed by around .040 thou and so I added .040 to my Y value in G54 and set my Z to -5.0880 to run the cutter an inch above the part so I could watch the cutter and make sure my Y shift was the correct direction and even after I set my Z back to -6.0880 it runs all programs an inch above the part. This is so crazy. My touch plate is accurate, I even manually set the tool and it matched the touch plate Z. I even put the Y offset back in case that confused the controller ha ha. I would hate to lie to the machine and set it at -7.0880, that could leave a mark at some point in time. Any help would be great and thank you.
  7. Hi everyone, is there a way to edit the post so I don't have to remove lines from the top and the bottom of the program. All of this stuff. Any help would be great. G8 P1 N104 G90 M05 Z0 N106 G52 X0. Y0. Z0. N108 T1 M6 C0. N132 G52 X0. Y0. Z0. N134 G8 P0 N136 G17
  8. Hi everyone, I tried to use a generic Multicam post processor but when I took my program to the machine computer, my geometry was off of the table on the screen. Any help would be great.
  9. What is the best router toolpaths for cutting complex surfaces like a paddle mold. I tried a couple and it was nice but 20 hours run time ha ha. If you google search you get too many to try in my lifetime. Mastercam 2023 Any help along with settings would be great.
  10. I have a Raster to Vector problem, not sure if the background default to black is the problem, but my white image won't show/stay on the screen and no entities show in the screen statistics. I only see the image briefly when I scroll the mouse wheel. This is only on the manual vector selected.
  11. My problem is, I have steps that need milled on both sides and on the top side I cut the profiles full depth and it puts the tabs at the base of the part, when I cut the steps on the bottom the tabs either get cut away, or they are monsters ha ha, I could go in and step them down I guess.
  12. Great, I will try it, it is .75 thick material. Thank you.
