    There is a percentage of setup people who won't read whatever you put in the program also. I had a guy use an er20 instead of er11 holder once. The setup sheet said er11 and had a picture of one generated from camplete also.

    You can pin files in with the open icon in the master window also so you don't have to hit file. Also set the number of recent files

    I'm not sure if it's available in canned text but you could use a manual entry before the finish paths

    I feel that's a way to get extra chatter. I would drill it indersize when it's whole then peck the end mill slow to clean the radius out Or rough, peck, finish with a internal corner radius like .005 or so

    Make sure your top of thread is correct if it's not it might be leading off before it should be

    Overcut can be used to add "comp" you can't adjust it at the controller however

    Our resellert did it I don't remember where but it was in one of the I think format statements for dwell I think he may have changed the value

    What happens if you were to make each hole it's own op and multi axis link them? I've had a weird thing happen with camplete and 5axis drill and doing this solved it. In the end it's probably the same work to make an individual op or plane

    You can add geometry sets in there with their own check sets(groups) and put all the containments in tool path control. Works good. We went from x9 to 18 so it make multiple features easier to do with one op. I'm not sure when they made the change

    We put our library on the server so when customs are made they are available on each seat.

    Are there a lot of high speed paths in the program? Some machines will slow down from lookahead
  12. Leon82
    It's possible to change the view and not the wcs so the model movement is not what was expected
  13. Leon82
    Associative linking points are also available, I haven't used them much but the seem like a good idea for certain things
  14. Leon82
    For multiple holes or faces yes, set the depth, top of stock and feed plane incremental. Clearance height is your preference, but on incremental z axis will be moving with every xy rapid move to a different height plane. Nothing wrong with that, just personal preference .
  15. Leon82
    Ah, I see now

    Try setting your stock plane to top in the page for stock setup. You should never really have to move around on STL made in verified as far as I know

    I had my custom tab going before our retailer finished upgrading all our seats. You can, if you are up to it popilate the small bar where the save and open shortcuts are will all the icons like x9 I think.

    I could have sworn I've turned them into solids before. I think I saved it as it's own file and then did a save as and selected the file type of iges or step Maybe

    From what I have experimented with on our AC machines. C axis offsets are fine. If a is -90. 5 it stays there at a hundred and eighty degrees also instead of going to 89. 5 Using the 54. 4 it will track a axis correctly In the pictures I posted I was making Corrections and in certain orientations it was unable to compensate so I had to remove my correction ,luckily I had enough tolerance to work with
  20. Leon82
    On a side note you are going to want more contact area on that raptor
  21. Leon82
    I think in the machine definition there is a setting to break arks or rotations. Not sure if it will help
  22. Leon82
    So you would you want to use the 54. 4 if you have an angle error. With a table table machine. It's possible to try to correct an error that the machine is incapable of rotating to. You may get over travels or unpredictable machine motion to check if you have the option you can go to your work offset page and use the right soft Arrow key to scroll through past the macro you should see the work setting error button

    Our Nakamura can run as 3 axis. There is an mcode to unlock the y of you want to set the tool location in y axis. I think, I've never run them. I think there is a milling m code as well
