Thats what i needed. Thanks

I can do it long hand but I thought there was a switch in Mastercam (turn on to go to home at tool changes) (turn off not to.) if I check the box in Home position isnt mastercam suppost to code that on. no matter which post i use, it still does not go there. I hope i'm making sense, because noe i'm

I have no idea what you just said.

?

Hi guys. (Mill-9.1) Is there a trick to having the machine go to the ref. or home position for tool changes without having to hard wire it in the post. I only need to do this when set up is to high, not often. Thanks.

A #1 center Drill. .006 deep will give nice look some material you have to make a free pass to clean it up.

Thanks. I did'nt know about the ascii numbers.

No?

I have a horiz. Niigata that does not use the tool no. with the H on the G43 line it uses this G43 Z___ H#511 the H#511 tells the control to use the tool in the spindles offset. Trouble is, in post I can not use H#511 because the # screws every thing up (it thinks # is a variable) can anyone help.

I had a Miyano with a 0M control. and to rigid tap i had to add the rpm to the M29 line as well as the M3 line. G0 X__ Y__ S400 M3 G43 Z__ H__ M8 M29S400 G84.............

Thanks all, worked great.

i think i just allowed my email address to show.

can somebody send me a solidworks file (ihave none) so i can see that all is good? Thanks

Hi guys. To import SolidWorks, is that a special converter OR stock with Mill 9.1

that explains it. I checked, system has RADEON ATI CARD, time to upgrade... thanks. Ken

J Coulston Worked like a champ. Thanks.

Hey guys. Easy question. Can anyone tell me what to change so I don’t get a decimal point on any dwell call. I get G82GX Y Z P.5 - I need G82GX Y Z P500 same way on a G4 call up.

No one else?

Does anyone out there have trouble saving a .mc9 file when shading is on? I can save with alt-a with no trouble with shading on or off but when I click on file and then save I get Error message. Mill9.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. Then it shuts down losing everything after my last save.

thanks

not.

Guess nt

Hi again does anyone out there know of any more on-line Mill tutorials. I've found Mill Tutorial Extra and tool plane tutorial here on the FTP site and they are very helpful for us new to Mastercam. Anything would be great. Thanks

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me how to output sequence numbers only at tool changes, such as N800 for T8, N900 for T9 and so on. I have no idea how to go about this. Thanks.
