Time: 4:16.07 i7 8700k @ 3.7 ghz Mcam 2018 Win 10 --- It is really awesome how fast this file regenerates on relatively inexpensive hardware!

Just wanted to revive this old thread to say thanks! After two reboots, the search by file name started working for me also! Just a note, with a dual stream machine you can only DNC to one control at a a time. The other stream must be run off the controller.Thanks, works great. Post from Guest_CNC Apps Guy 1_* was awesome - just waht I needed.

Thank You Ernie. Life is good again! I was dreading doing a part in X8 without hole axis! Done in 3 seconds!

Hi, does anyone have any hints on how to import ports directly into mastercam? I can make a text file with hyperterminal or cimco edit and then import that, but I want to just click the output button on my cmm or optical comparitor and have them show up in mastercam directly. Any help apreciated.

Get yourself an SSD. That will speed up just about everything!

Set Control def to break arcs @ 90 degrees and then post again. That will probably fix the problem. if it does not then it might be small arcs, set it to .002 and try again. If that does not do it then it is an error with arc check and tolerance. Only do one change at a time. Post then check on machine. 90% of the time break arcs @ 90 deg will solve the issue.

Oh no. I'd say, try making all tools in the tool manager and not on the fly for now.

This happens when you are in an operation and you pick the same tool twice. For example, you make a contour opp, then select get tool and pick a .5" end mill. Then you make a finishing opp with another .5" end mill. Save file. Open file. corrupt tools. The only work around I have found so far is to use the tool manager. Toolpaths-->Tool manager. Create the two tools. Create the toolpaths. Save. Open. Works. Hope this helps somone. --

If the bolt holes are in a repeating pattern, use the Xform tollbooth, set to rotate and select tool pane method not coordinate. This will spit out a rotation code.

Ok, finaly got it working! Here is what I had to do: 1 - Download MS VS 2010 2 - Download the MS VS 2010 SP1 update 3 - Uninstall the mastercam SDK (a repair does not cut it!) 4 - Install the mastercam SDK for X6 MU2 The C-Hook wizard now shows up under new project -> C++

I just tried updating to SP1 then running a repair on the SDK... When I create a new project, there is still no mastercam section under C++ Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.5.50709 SP1Rel Installed Version: Professional Microsoft Office Developer Tools 01018-532-2002163-70484 Microsoft Office Developer Tools Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 01018-532-2002163-70484 Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Microsoft Visual C# 2010 01018-532-2002163-70484 Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 01018-532-2002163-70484 Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Microsoft Visual F# 2010 01018-532-2002163-70484 Microsoft Visual F# 2010 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer 01018-532-2002163-70484 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 01018-532-2002163-70484 Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Crystal Reports Templates for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Crystal Reports Templates for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional - ENU Service Pack 1 (KB983509) KB983509 This service pack is for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional - ENU.

I'm having the same issue. I cannot however get to the files to install manually. How do I extract them? I tried with 7zip and no go. The files described in the above text are not there. Also, am I using the wrong installer? I am installing mastercamx6-mu2-sdk-web is there a c-hook SKD???

Post Name : MPSUBREP If you are having trouble with MPSubRep in version X or above not outputting the correct Z on the approach the solution is to remove v7 style contour flags. Comment this line out or set it to zero. rpd_typ_v7$ : 1 #Use Version 7 style contour flags? might also want to comment this out to keep things current: strtool_v7$ : 1 # Use Version 7 toolname? [0=Filename,1=Name,2=Path\Name] #Tool! That will fix the issue and not drive you insane with band aids etc. -

Jeremy, I ran into this issue at a customers. On a Fanuc control there is a parameter that looks for the end of a program, it can either be sent to M30/M99 or the End of Tape (%). Set it to M30/M99, and the programs will be read by the machine into separate files. so much easier than sending 20 programs via rs232.
