Check your Cimco shortcut, your likely using Cimco basic attached to Mastercam Sim. If opening .nc file directly check windows default association (prolly looking at MCX cimco) If launching direct from Mastercam check your Start tab and make sure "CIMCOedit" is selected not "CIMCO"

Unless thigs have changed with how you can bundle mcx license. Curve5 is an addon that can run on a mill1 seat, its actually pretty powerful if you know what your doing but by no means a replacment for full Multi. Full Multi requires mill3, the largest portion of the price increase is the added full 3d package. If you buy curve 5 now there is no reduced upgrade price as curve5 is considered an addon, and full multi is a software upgrade.

None of those proposed times are office hours Colin

G53.5 is used to call WPC in eia, not 100% if it will work on M+ generation.

Why does it have to be rs232? They make ethernet to serial adaptors but they are ment for connection to older machines technically it could be wired in but the machine would have no idea what to do with the signal. Not sure anyone makes a device backwards compatible. Ive hoooked up hundreds of machines and typically this restriction is an IT issue (they dont want the machine in the network) there are options uisng ethernet and ot being on the network.

As a contract programmer I run my business from a dell precision 7710, Fantastic laptop and I've had zero issues with it. Handles everything I throw at it. That being said its close to 12lbs with the brick. Not so bad if im travelling with my own vehical and am only one shop ina day, but often im at multiple customers and when I fly its unruly to lug around, near impossible to use on a flight. Not that I fly often for work but its not exactly portable. I got to lay my hands on MSI new WS63 work series when I was at my local PC store yesterday, and man is it nice. Other than the less than ideal trackpad (minor issue as I pack a mouse) thin, light, beautiful speced with 8 gen i7, and P3200 gpu. My plan for next upgrade is a WS tower for home/shop. And eventually replace my Dell with a slimmer more travel friendly 15". I do the bulk of my contract stuff pre programmed and only make minor changes onsite.

Anyone had success with Filezilla FTP server to Fanuc recently? I've done a bunch of machines over the years and its pretty simple peer to peer networking and a few settings on the server side. With the newer Filezilla server I cant for the life of me make anything connect. TLS settings i'm sure is the culprit as I cant seem to be able to configure Plain FTP anymore in Filezilla. TIA

99.9% sure Smart is Samsung Machine rebranded.

Use a macro variable and to jump over those one time FMS commands in you G65 call program. Or make A B as subs and have one time commands in "main" than run a or b, or a and b based on operator requirments. Could also use basic logig with a variable set to 0 or 1(on/off) A hundred diffrent ways to this safely and with check conditions

You can do this.. just select all operations. I like the fact that i can pick and choose, files with well over 200-300 operations and any PC would stall out if i couldn't control stock models throught the process.

These settings will give you file with no extension, down side is Windows will not know to open it with Cimco

Greg, Will setting the tool as Horizontal +45 give you the results your after?

This might be happening due to using intel gpu driver on launch. Set mcx to use "high performance" gpu

You should have a cd/usb that came with your probe that have the macro creation software. If of course your company bought the inspection + software.

supatuch is a check box when generating the macros, there is some parameter/rensttings fine tuning involved.
