  1. Hi Guys. Hopefully you can help. Mill9.1 Programming on indexer using transform feature. When coding, MC codes my 1st tool twice and it doesn’t matter if have copy source, disable posting on or not. File is in FTP Site in unspecified_uploads folder file name - 3475.MC9
  2. Never mind, chook setdir.dll Thanks For the email.
  3. I don’t think I explained correctly. When I start a new job First thing do is save it in folder like this; C:COMPANYCOMPANY_NAMEPART_NUMBER???.MC9 So every job that’s not done with the same part no. is stored in a different location. I'm looking to have MC search the directory of the MC9 file that is open at this time.
  4. Hi Guys. Is there anyway to have the data paths be all the same for what ever your working on at the time. Example; Say I've saved mc MC program in c:sm9Threept82 Now I want to import a cad file, I tell it to read a .X_T file. I want it to search c:sm9Threept82 automatically
  5. I've drilled .008 dia holes .15 deep in 316ss. I had best luck with S7200 F.6 Q.016, not much difference from 304
  6. Ron. Where do I tell MC that mi8 = 1 or mi8 = 0
  7. Ball-breaking? Yes. But not directed at you chris.
  8. Thanks Ron. I copied the tapping section into the custom drilling 9 section and changed it to my liking. It works fine as long as only one hole is done if more than one hole is tapped it codes as follows N100T1M106 G0G90G54X0.Y0.B0S534M3 G43Z2.H#511M8 M109S534M3 G84G98Z-.5R.1F41.14 G0G90X-2.8104Y1.1851 M98P0000 G0G90X1.0384Y1.3995 M98P0000 M5 G91G28Z0M19M9 M98P9110(BTD) G28Y0 I have no idea why it throws in the G0G90 or where the sub call up is coming from.
  9. I have (2) Sodick EDM wires A325 and A530 (5 axis) both are AWESOME. Quick threading, and very good cutting condition options, also a Sodick sinker. Had Agie (ok machine) but...
  10. Steve does S4A have any books that covers in detail misc. values, custom drill values and any other none standard materials. I will send someone to S4A to pick it up today.
  11. same error. I dont understand what to do after I change .pst file, how to implement the change when needed.
  12. Thanks Kyle I changed pmisc1 to what you have and I get the following error message. Combined Mill and Lathe Post Processor Version 9.19 © Copyright 1992-2004 CNC Software, Inc. Processing file with SPN40... Variable not defined: pdrillref Post line number 1858 Program execution halted due to error(s) in .pst Do I need to change something else or rename something. I don’t know anything about Misc. anything unless it in the book, not even sure what switch to use misc values, canned text or custom drill param.
  13. Im using a modified MPMASTER post. M3 before the cycle call on same line as the M109 code. I'm looking to add an aditional tapping call out (Rigid). Most of time I Tap using a standard tapping head but in this case I can't find a head that will fit the tap. So Im going mill chuck and rigid.
  14. Hi Guys. I need to add a rigid tapping section to a post. I think it needs to be done in custom cycles but I've no idea how to go about it. My code needs to look like this. M109S???M3 G84G98................ But it needs to be on line above G84 line.
  15. "%", e spaces=0 *progno, e spathnc = ucase(spathnc) smcname = ucase(smcname) "(", date,")", e "(T/N", sprogname," T/REV=N/C)", e "(", smcpath,")", e "(P.REV=)", e "(OP.__OP.REV=N/C)", e
  16. Is anyone @ home this morning (6:40 AM here)
  17. Hi Guys When programming with subs, after coding MC puts all subs after the main program. Is there a way to have MC place subs before the main? (Other then manually moving main to end) When our cncs read a M30 they stop reading. I know its suppose to be % to % but they stop anyway(Something to do with the server. )
  18. Hi Guys - Mill9 - Horiz. Can anyone out there help me to force the "B" axis index out at tool changes, even if has changed or not but I need the output of the angle to be correct.
  19. Hi Guys Is there a converter that opens .Drw files
  20. I found it and changed it in mill9.cfg lets see if if works the same. Thanks
