  1. I think you can get there from the exclamation point in the files where you select the machine or from the control definition
  2. Go to the op defaults. Edit and select all, edit common parameters, set your linking height
  3. Why doesn't he like where it's located. As an end-user don't we only care about the NC file I would consider trying to alter the format of the NCI file a hoop to jump through no?
  4. We have 1604 bit zero on and the install guys put the g5.1q0 in the settings sub program. But the ots macro where it spins the tool to touch off isn't working. The guy is coming to look at it but I may try turning the parameter off to see if it makes a difference
  5. The .0001 could just be rounding math And there is probably a switch to output the g28 line . Or maybe there is a misc integer that is set
  6. Break the arc at 12oclock. Or you can change the start point by right clicking the chain.
  7. We had to turn it off in the RenaShaw settings program because it was making the probing Cycles work incorrectly
  8. Do you have to restart it afterwards or does it come back on on the next block?
  9. Mine have always renumbered automatically when moving them around. I havent noticed anything different in 2018
  10. I did this for a part with a bunch of elipse. I put the tolerance at .0001 and the upper left slider all the way to the right.
  11. You can try a stock model, the a rest machine surface high speed
  12. For lage production runs I offset a bunch of chains the length I want and chain my way down. Smaller quantities I break it up in depths and shorten the lead in at the top cahins
  13. I would also try it with a G 91 added to that second G30 line. I think I've seen these things do some weird stuff when it wasn't specified in each line
  14. The other thing can be that the 2nd return position in the machine is set wrong. Normally g30 can be a pallet change position, tool change position of any position you set into the parameters Z is probably set to a large negative value
  15. Yea, the guy next to me has the only win 10 computer. He is always swearing at it.
  16. If you have win 7 set a shortcut near the recent places Tab on the left for your desired directory
  17. Settings, configuration ,files Select nc and set the path Is it posting the nci also? Because that has its own path in the settings
  18. We have a revision number or letter on the folder and files inside it. Setup sheets are scanned and controlled by the quality system manager. Ive seen a place where everything was in one folder. Hundreds of part numbers
  19. Yes It could be a misc integer or in the post itself After every tool or just the end of the program? Could be in the peof block or pretract block
  20. If goofy is a copy on an existing plane with the same origin. Mastercam seems to default back to the first plane with that origin
  21. that's where we get them from.
  22. for parts we do with .02mm true position if its not at a0c0 I use a sub without the twp and pick it up with the probe. the ruby will build up with aluminum after a while. we ordered an m4-m5 adapter so we can use the silicon nitrate probes from the cmm(Renishaw silicon nitrate really expensive )
  23. we had all 5 retroed with the ez5 ours does 3 points at zero, one at 445 and one at 90 we still needed to cut a test part to get it to bore holes inline. for x axis
  24. you could swarf it. Ive experimented with the the axis substitution it worked, but it was ugly and only for 1 fixture with a generic post I played with
  25. If you are on a net hasp and open 2 sessions does it use 2 of the seats available?
