Hi Friends I have converted my old Chook program developed using Mastercam 8 to Mastercam 9. But Now I am facing one problem regarding TPlane and CPlane and Work offset setting. In the Cplane and Tplane dialog box for Tplane Origin and work offset check box get locked when I import operation into Mastercam as shown in ToolPlane CPlane.jpg file uploaded on ftp site in unspecified_uploads folder ftp://www.ppcadcam.com/Mastercam_forum/un...lane_CPlane.JPG Also when I generate CNC code the set Work offset are not exported. Instead of G54 G55 etc Code output come to be G92. What modification I have to do in my chook code. Thanks in advance Ajit Patil

Hi Sami, Could you please explain me in details. Thank you Ajit

Hi friends Thank you Ajit Patil

Hi Bruce Actuall I do it but on verification tool profile below the origin is not appered. Thanks Ajit

Hi friends I am using Form Tool for operation and its tool offset is not at tip of tool but it lies above the tool tip (ie Tool Sholder). How can I create Tool geometry for verification. How to set tool origin at desired position. because operation depth is with respect to Tool sholder. Thnaks Ajit Patil

Thanks Regards Ajit

Hi Friends, When we imported part for step file into mastercam How to move the part to 0,0,0 or set wcs at center of part having Circular hole and aline his cylindrical axis along z axis after importing. ie I need to do modification after importing part into mastercam. Thanks Ajit

Hi friends, Merry Chrismas and a Happy New Year to you and your family members. Regrads, Ajit

You mean when I am setting T-Plane and C-Plane I should ask user about X and Y direction. Presently I am setting X and Y axis for view using following matrix for six faces real mx[6][9] = { {1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1}, {1,0,0,0,0,1,0,-1,0}, {1,0,0,0,-1,0,0,0,-1}, {0,-1,0,0,0,1,-1,0,0}, {0,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0}, {-1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0}}; Regards, Ajit

Thanks Iskander teh Owl , DavidB Regards , Ajit

But when I use this command the New T plane is created . But I want to change X and Y axis diretion of existing Tool Plane Thank you Ajit

Hi Friends, I have added few operation using Chooks and while adding operation I set X and Y axis direction of Tool Plane along some default direction Is this posible me to modify manually direction of X and Y axis for perticular Tool Plane? So than output CNC code of operation assigned to this plane are get modified according to new X and Y direction. Thanks in advance Ajit Patil

Hi Bryan, Thank you very much, It wotk prefectly. bye Ajit Patil
