  1. I was making parts for a company and the guy called and said where are they. I said we're working on them and he said"what does that mean, you haven't started them yet?" So I said yes.
  2. In the settings chech the startup settings. It's in there somewhere
  3. In the controller definition disable staged tool routines
  4. It may want an R instead of a I and J depending on the controller.
  5. What do the linking parameters say? Double check the top of stock and feed plane
  6. Power surface can be handy with split holes. I have no idea how to use it but for roughing it is good
  7. In that case I make a surface and un trim. Or surface fill holes is an option if it's a full hole
  8. Im doing a part in a 520 pc4 that is a swarf cut in A axis which does a 180 degree unwind at A0. it leaves a tiny raised edge at this point. it can easily be smoothed but am wondering if it can be made better. im using g131 f3 and the slider is on max precision. the other alternative is to break it up but i would have to conventional cut one direction .
  9. Is it supposed to have a g91 in that line? That seems dangerous. Had cutter comp been deactivated from the previous path?
  10. H#518 on the matsuura. We have Camplete set to output the variable instead of tool number. That gets updated with the tool life
  11. I believe the output for data is there too
  12. You can do it in the tool manager from the main control. On our 850 with 60 tools I added 30 for a job. I go in unload the data for the tool I'm taking out and load in the data for the tool I'm putting in. Then put a tool tag on it. You can only load it into a free pot. I call up tool zero because if you unload the tool while it's in the spindle it won't recognize it untill after a tool change
  13. If your plan is to share them I would do a mastercam Library
  14. Can you use a system variable to warn in the program? Like if dia comp is greater than .005 issue alarm or program stop?
  15. G184 on the 840di Siemens
  16. A couple guys when they verify with a manual entry it opens and immediately closes Has anyone experienced this in 2023?
  17. What does the ptool_inpection look like? Personally i would copy some of the ptoolcng block so it re issued everything. This way if for some reason somebody goes to start the program from there it's going to have the right tool and the spindle.
  18. Did you do it in the tool change block? Don't do it in the null or pretract or prapidout
  19. There should be a post block labeled subsequent holes underneath the drill cycles
  20. It sounds like the spring pass is removing lots of spring
  21. You could try an asterisk In front of the sgplane *sgplane
  22. You really don't have a choice but to make a center cut. You can order a smaller one and do some multipasses and finish with the full size cutter
