A Jarno taper is similar to a MT taper except a different angle. Its not a thread. They make reamers for most tapers and you can check it will a ball drop.

I think I figured it out. It seems I had some corrupt solid models.

I cant share the file. But it seems to be be on any solid or surface. I have not tried Xform roll.

I am trying to project letters onto a round solid model. Every time I do this I lose a lot of the letter geometry after the fact. Anyone else notice this?

So, it works with different diameters?

Im talking about a Macro not inside of Mastercam. I would like to set up a macro on our lathe with C axis to engrave part numbers on the OD of parts. I have a macro that does flat engraving, just need to do it on the OD. Ive heard you can use G07.1, never used it and not sure I even have it.

Is there a macro to engrave on the OD of round parts or is this even possible due to the OD changing sizes?

Its a NetHasp,I tried what John said and it didnt fix it. When I post it wont launch Cimco but it will the Mastercam editor. I get these errors when it tries to launch Cimco only. Its happening on 2 machines and I cant seem to figure it out.

Mastercam keeps crashing on startup. I have reinstalled Windows 10 64 after the 1709 update, Ive re installed Mastercam 2017 3 times. But, it continues to crash at start up. As soon as it loads and gets to the home screen I get the crash report. What is going on with this?

I keep getting these errors when I try to post a program and open with Cimco. How can I fix this?

How can I add the tool manufacturer name to my set up sheet? I cant find the XML Tag for the name. Code is the number but I want the name as well.

Charlie that is almost like what we done. We have it working now. This Macro writing is a new thing for me. The one I have is one I found and started to modify it. Now that I have my beak wet I must learn it. Im trying to learn C++ as well. Thanks for the help and suggestion guys, I very much appreciate it.

I am trying to come up with a macro to broach on a CNC Lathe. I have the following but it doesnt seem to want to work. Can someone look at this and see if they see anything that stands out? I have the main and sub together to look at. % O0008 (BROACH MACRO PROGRAM) (CONTAINS SUB PROGRAM #0070) (ENTER YOUR KEYWAY DATA ON THE NEXT 5 LINES) #501=2.4000(ENTER KEYWAY LENGTH HERE) #502=.9682(ENTER STARTING DIAMETER HERE) #503=1.25(ENTER ENDING DIAMETER HERE) #504=.002(ENTER DEPTH OF CUT PER PASS HERE) #505=150(ENTER IPM FEED RATE HERE) (DO NOT EDIT THESE 3 LINES) #506=[[#503-#502]/2](AUTO CALCULATES FULL DEPTH) #507=[#506/#504](AUTO CALCULATES NUMBER OF PASSES) #508=1(RESETS PASS COUNTER) G20(INCH INPUT) M68 (LOCK SPINDLE) G98(FEED PER MINUTE) G50S500(SET MAX RPM) G00G30U0W0(RAPID TO HOME POSITION) T0808(CALL TOOL) M23(C-AXIS MODE ON) G0C0(ROTATE C AXIS) G0X[#502]Z.10T0101(CALL OFFSET AND RAPID 1 INCH IN FRONT OF PART) M8(COOLANT ON) M98P0070L[#507](CALL SUBPROGRAM O0070 AND REPEAT #507 TIMES) M24(C-AXIS MODE OFF) G0G99Z1.M9(COOLANT OFF) G30U0W0T0800(GO HOME AND CANCEL OFFSET) M67 (UNLOCK SPINDLE) M30(RESET PROGRAM) % % O0070 (SUB PROGRAM) G98G1Z[[[#501]*[-1]]-.10]F[#505](FEED PER MINUTE) X[#502](RETRACT ON X) G0Z1.0(RETRACT ON Z) #508=#508+1(PASS COUNTER) G0X[#502+[#508*#504]](RAPID TO NEXT X POSITION) M99(RETURN TO MAIN PROGRAM) % Thanks
