  1. YEP got it now thank all should have read the earlier post, was already answered for me
  2. I'm wondering if there is a way to extend the tool to cut below the lower rail selected, for example running around a chamfer so that the tool is not at the exact bottom of the chamfer. i know i can extend the surface/GEO, but that can become alot of work instead of just using the model features. using toolpath "SWARF MILLING" MC2022 OOPS seen a recent post asking simular question, ill see if anything on that post helps
  3. ok i'm missing something, Ever since I've gone to MC 2022 the button circle in the attached does nothing. magically i noticed it was working yesterday, today not working, what am a doing or not doing to get this to work.
  4. THANKS GUYS, our tooling guys came through just now got taps and drills from OSG
  5. I have this already, my problem is i need up to 5/8-11 sizes are: 5/8-11 3/8-16 1/5-13 1/4-20
  6. Looking for a chart or formula for tap drill sizes, or ranges, for STI threads but roll form or cold form tapping .
  7. I have created multiple different planes from multiple surfaces of a solid model. we now we are moving the job from one machine to another, where now the top plane needs to be the front or whatever. but after translating and rotating things to their new place, the created planes do not move/follow the origan from where they were created. There must be a way for the custom planes to stay relative to a surface or model it was created from. Or is there a way planes should be created from the start next time so this process is easier to transition?
  8. TRY THIS ? I HAVE POST PROCESSORS CHECKED WHEN CREATING THE ZIP TO GO MORPH-3-AXIS.ZIP
  9. Appreciate someone taking a look MORPH-3-AXIS.ZIP
  10. ok just got back to this.....I did what you explained, i was able tp create and select the new axis combination, but still get the first error. " rot_on _x is disabled etc. the second error no longer comes up.
  11. I'm using a morph tool path for 3 axis machine, but when i go to post i get these errors. is this my post? or am i missing a hidden setting somewhere?
  12. yes, i found the original post, just didnt notice the second page....oops i see hes been updating, im just behind thanks
  13. Im going into MCAM2020 and trying to transfer things, ihave a chook i like to use, so i copied the .dll & .ft files to the chooks folder. When i try to run it i get this error. how do i "rebuild" the files for 2020?? if thats my problem thnaks
  14. So..... i got kinda what i wanted using standard drilling tool paths then using the multi axis linking, and it works, but its a bit more work. seems like you should be able to do do this with multi axis drilling all in one tooplath, isn't that the point?
  15. i am drilling holes on three different sides of a part, im using multi axis to do this but when drilling holes on top then when it goes to the sides, it rapids through the part, backplot & posted code, it sounds like the safety distance is what i want but it seems to do nothing. what am i missing??
  16. see attached.... Can anyone tell me what is causing this ? I deleted a coupled stk models, not attached to tool paths, and now when trying to post ANY type of path i get this before it just post the code anyways. i have zero tool paths with subprograms before you ask, as the warning imply's
  17. OK.... i did just that i created a plane 5 degree off my normal plane and ran the tool path from that plane an it posted without error. thanks!!
  18. well, maybe i follow.... i have noticed it puts the warning message in exactly after the lead in moves, retracts than goes back in to Cary out the tool path with no problem. You say to run it at an angle, i have no "A' axis but if i were to create a plane as to rotate my "b" on say a 5 degree angle and run the too path from that plane, this would accomplish the same as you mentioned? i will try this if i explained it rite.
  19. I have never used this feature in the high speed paths, but it seems to work great. except after hitting the post button I get this warning, it post just fine but inserts a "instability in tool path" warning in the actual post. I think its retracting to avoid something, and also before any "c" moves start, why? the machine does run it if you keep hitting "GO" it skips rite thru it and carries on, besides going home then feeding ALL the way back to position. is there a way to avoid this warning?? tool path: waterline machine: mazak integrex
  20. I have to finish the small rads running along the top of my pockets ( attached pic), i would love to simply spiral a ball around the edge from top to bottom. the surfaces do not line up perfectly in several spots because of the angle and radius transitions. The only thing i have gotten to work is 5axis "along curve", but its wants to run vertically along the edge (perpendicular to the red line). any ideas? is there a way to get the along curve path to run with the curves and not orthogonal. machine: 5 axis integrex
  21. i WAS looking for comp output but am told not possible?
