  1. Change your post to look like the following: code: n, 35, ":START", e n, 35, "CLEAR V10", e Ascii character 35 will give you the # Just like Bryan said a minute ago (he types faster then I do) [ 05-21-2002, 01:05 PM: Message edited by: Glenn Bouman, In-House ]
  2. That file is generated when you run the TPCFG.DLL chook.
  3. Gary, Here is how you would do it. code: string1 "hey you forgot something" result : 0 if tlplnno = 1, [ result = mprint(string1) exitpost ] This will output the message and halt the posting
  4. I would create a point in the middle of the slot and add that in the chain. In the lead in/out parameters turn on use entry point. See NARROW SLOTGLENN.MC9
  5. 'infinite look ahead' only looks at each contour individually. For this part use pocket with the finish pass only. See LOOKAHEADPROBGLENN.MC9 on ftp site.
  6. Maybe Jay, can put V9SP1.EXE on a web link along with FTP. It does not include the Nethasp files.
  7. Jay, V9sp1.exe is a self-extracting file that contains all the updated files that are generated by the update patches. Extract this to the MCAM9 directory instead of using the patches. This saves having to do a fresh install that is required for the patches to work correctly. SLJ, if you are having trouble with the editor you can install the full update install with this link. Updated Editor Specify C:Mcam9CommonEditorsCedit during install.
  8. Good point Dave. To avoid that problem download V9SP1.EXE it has all the updated files that are generated by the patches for Mill/Lathe/Wire and Design. This download is even smaller than all the patches combined. Jay could you delete v9sp1.zip as it is incomplete?
  9. In the Rotary parameters set it to CCW. This is the proper direction for most rotary tables. This will not change the output of the code but it change the backplot to how it will behave on the machine. You can also use the roll function with the direction set to CCW to see how the letters look after they are wrapped. See 4 AXIS MIRRORNEW2.zip on FTP site Now you have to mirror your geometry (or draw the geometry relative to plane 4) You may need to set rot_ccw_pos parameter in the post (although only if indexing is also incorrect).
  10. With a Haas you just program IPM and in the Setting page (I think it is #54) you set the rotary diameter and it will do the feed calc for you.
  11. Turn off the Check External Changes under the Cimco Edit Setup to turn stop your floppy drive from churning away.
  12. Maybe BryGuy was thinking the Lathe software handles Control Comp the the way the Milling software does which does check and modify the path if the tool rad is greater than the part rad. Maybe Lathe should also have this Optimize switch.
  13. Here is an interesting recent article from the UK Telegraph that shows Canada's contribution in defending this continent and Europe.
  14. Make sure you have the same Mill9.cfg file on both computer. Or use the the settings from the addons
  15. Looks like the install directory or Drive letters are different than the original install. You can open Mill8.cfg in an editor and do a search and replace with the new path. [ 04-25-2002, 08:21 AM: Message edited by: Glenn Bouman, In-House ]
  16. Unfortunately this incident will stir up more Anit-Americanism and make them look like trigger-happy warmongers. I find it hard to believe the pilot felt threatened by seeing muzzle flashes. In a hang-glider yes, but not in a fighter jet. Gone are the days when you did not pull the trigger until you saw the whites of their eyes. I thought the booing of O Canada was from the radical feminists in response to the phrase "In all our sons command"
  17. I agree with the ideas from Claus. This would need to tie into the verification side. Mastercam's old verification software now has a similiar setup sheet function.
  18. Go Modify, Break, Draft/line and select the note. This will break it into lines.
  19. Glenn Bouman

    v9

    SVO, Use the Screen, Confiqure, Merge functon. Select the 2nd last option "Merge CFG file" Select the V8 cfg file and select which area of that file you want to merge in. I would not merge the "Data Paths" or "Files names" as they are not compatible.
  20. ChrisD You need this patch to handle newer Parasolid files. update
  21. I have had the same problem 3 months ago, it has not happened since. It was also a V8 file with named views and toolpaths. It is logged as #19312
  22. Go to Cimco Edit's Setup, Global Setup, General and set tab width.
  23. Check Job Setup's "Adjust feedrate on arc move"
  24. Try putting a M90 on the end of each line. Or check Parameter #1390 on the control to turn on or off the exact stop mode.
  25. If the NC code has more than 1 decimal place and more than 30 lines long, it is not from the Demo version. Maybe there needs to be a variable in the NCI that records the SIM#
