In the past we also had this error on one Mori machine. Even after adjusting the settings nothing helped.

Our solution was to add a line to the post:

round_opt$: 21

This changes how the post round the values. Use at you're own risk

Have you also checked the inputs at line N14?.

Mayby the control is overwriting it somewhere.

2 Instances?

or Click +1 & +2 buttons and draw a line?

Or set some other value under the Translate tab?

 

I've tried a bunch of combinations. The closest I get is G54 and G55 output, but now get extra duplicate code under G54.

In start field:

0 = G54

Increment field to 1, so when delta = 2 you would get output for G54 and G55

Also set the start field to 0

And delta to 2

Try adding:

if nextdc$=3, pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgplane, scc0, sg80, *sgabsinc, e$

into psof, ptlchg0$ and ptlchg$ at the place where you want them. PWCS will write for you the G54.

Also remove you're hard coded line in ptap

Good luck and try carefully

In the past we had an employee which had also rashes due to the coolant. In his case i believe it was chrome.

First i would do an allergy test and with those results go to you're coolant supplier. Because just changing does not have to help you.

In the mastercam file when mirroring in also creates a new plane which is rotated around the Z-axis. This gives the mirrored values of the X and Y axis.

The only way I can come up with is:

1) Mirror operation around Y0 of operation

2) Ghost this operation before posting

3) Translate the mirrored operation the distance between the fixed faces in your example 2.69

4) Translate operation and last translate for G56 and G57

Try on you're own risk:

      if return_mode = one,
        [
        pbld, n$, [if gcode$, sgfeed], sgabsinc, sgcode, *sg28ref, "Z0.", [if gcode$, feed], scoolant, e$
        if nextop$ = 1003 | tlchg_home, pbld, n$, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.", protretinc, e$
        else, pbld, n$, protretinc, e$
        ]
      else,
        [
        pbld, n$, sg00, sg53, *g53_return_z, scoolant, e$
		if mi10$ = 0, 
		  [
		  pbld, n$, sg53, *g53_return_x, *g53_return_y, "(Tool change Location)", e$
		  if nextop$ = 1003 | tlchg_home, pbld, n$, sg53, protretinc, e$
		  ]
		else, pbld, n$, "G53 Y0. X-24. (Tool Check at Door)" , e$ 
		]

 Did you use wireframe geometry?

Is that also translated? Check mayby for a hidden level

Try adjusting your approach position to X2.2

Something for Fanuc like:

#600 = 2.35 (Height of product can be placed separated on macro screen or in program)

In cutting program:

#601 = 0.005 (depth of cut)

#602 = #600-2.0 (Material to be removed)

#603 = #602/#601 (Number of passes)

#604 = FUP[#603] (Round up)

G65 P6000 L#604 (Sub program call)

Try toolinspect it should do the trick

Something like:

DWO macro 4th axis

Corresponding Youtube:

To post out a custom gcode, you need to use:

*tox$, *toy$, *toz$ or: *tox4$, *toy4$, *toz4$

For the macro you do need to know the rotation point.

I am working on a similar project but i first have to make the fixtures for that machine.

As far as I know it, the post processing is only processing the operations with the same NC file name. With multiple NC file names, it will process it separate per NC file name.

To see in Mastercam the program number and NC file name do the following:

In the toolpath manager, right click on a operation and select "Display options"

enable "Toolpath file name" and "Program number", the values are placed at the toolpath line of the operation. 

To solve you're problem select all operations and right mouse click --> Edit selected operations --> Change NC Filename

I self normally make lines, see attachment. However this does not respect the cutting direction. But it is fast 

Dynamic_face.mcam

Try altering from

smachine_name = opinfo(1051, op_index, 0000)

to 

smachine_name = opinfo(1051, op_index, 0020)

Try adding after line N2:

G4 G53

Just to stop the look ahead of the control

Thank you for the input, but i made sure a long time ago, that these settings where set.

After some other strange errors i found out that some key on the keyboard was stuck (not visible by eye).

By pressing all the keys multiple times the errors went away.

Tomorrow i am going to buy some spare keyboards.

So problem solved.

Hello,

In my shop we have one PC where we cannot draft. The start and endpoint can be selected, but setting it to its correct place is not possible.

It ask to Select another dimension to use its formatting, see picture. Selecting another dimension is also not possible (i tried). Also the pop-up menus of Font, Height etc. are also not working. Other PC's are fine.

I also removed the Mastercam folder within documents, and in the shared folder.

-Mastercam version 2018

What could i try next?

Is G11 not a better option?

It  mirrors the x-axis

But the question remains of all comments are needed to be displayed as a bar message on the screen, which stays active until a new message is called for.

Other way to add the comments are by:

; This is my comment 

Try this:

#declaration of variables:

blockno : 0 #Mastercam operation number

#format statement

fmt  "N" 4 blockno     #Output mcam opperation no. to NC file

#add this starting in a first column:

pfn             #Output block numbers = mcam op number
	  blockno = opinfo(15240,0)
	  if op_id$ <> prv_op_id$ & blockno<>-99999,
	    [
	    *blockno
	    ]

#add this where the toolchange is:

pbld, *pfn, *t$, "M6",e$

I guess the quote will be for training, not the post.

Make sure the arrow where the tool paths are added is in the machine group you wish to simulate.
