When I am tapping more than one hole... as this morning tapping several hundred in one part and I hit slide hold in order to check the first hole after I restart it it looses the G84.2 or something.It resumes tapping under the feed and speed it is set at with the control knobs rather than the cycle in the program. Does anyone understand what Im talking about and if so is there a way I can make it resume with the correct feed and speed?

How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?
Longbow replied to Rekd™'s topic in Industrial Forum
Do we have the proper gages for checking the threads on the light bulb and the socket? -

OK Im checking all this out... the post processers I worked with in Feature Cam were completely different from the ones here in Mastercam so some to this is greek to me right now. Peter in some of the smaller metric taps .010 per rev makes a lot of differance when useing rigid tapping .. no spring loaded holders.

Im havent had a chance to learn my way around the post in Mastercam yet and here where Im working now we do alot of parts with metric and english tapped holes. I often use a metric tap and convert it over to english. But my post only post the feed with two decimal places. How can I change my post so that it post the rigid tap feed in five decimal places the same as in the feed rate box in Parameters for that operation?

The name Longbow? I build my own longbows. Sort of a hobby... or maybe an obsession. Ever since I made my first hickory longbow and killed a deer with it Ive been adicted. Thank you all for the welcome.. I look forward to getting time to check out more of the post.

We are useing Mechanical desktop and converting solids we have no problem.. other than solids I dont know about but incase this will help... from Mechanical Desktop we Export/Desktop ACIS... select the part you want to export and click enter and save to a file... Then from MasterCam we use the SAT Converter and we have never had any problems. Not sure this is what your looking for but maybe it will help.
