I am trying to install/reinstall X2. I keep getting these error messages. Error 1904 Module C:windowssystem32PVCalendar9.ocx Failed to register HRESULT-2147352567 C:windowssystem32PVConbo.ocx Failed to register HRESULT-21473525 C:windowssystem32PVTaskPad9.ocx Failed to register HRESULT-21473525 I called Mastercam and they said someting is blocking these files from registering. I turned off all virous protection and got the same result. I see people have had similar problems before. Any help would be appreciated

This is what we use on our Okuma machines, $O5651.MIN% The O5651 is the program number it starts with the letter O. This way the control lists it as that program number.

Starting fresh with MPLFAN and will try to set up as needed. The feed problem is gone in MPLFAN. We do not have machine yet so will get close then fine tune. Its for a Milltronics Lathe ML26. I beleave it programs very close to a Fanuc anyway. Thanks for all the help.

This is the output line "pfr" plinout #Output to NC, linear movement - feed pcan1, pbld, n, psgplane, sgfeed, pexct, psgcode, psccomp, pxout, pyout, pzout, pcout, pfr, pscool, strcantext, e and the pfr pfr #Output feedrate if ipr_actv = zero, pfr_m else, pfr_l `feed I undertand some but not all that is going on.
-
It does not seem to matter if I put in .01 or .003, neither seem to output. Its on a straight linear move?
-
That is what I thought but I can not find it. The format for feed is fmt F 18 feed #Feedrate and fs2 18 .04 .03 #Decimal,absolute, 4/3 places Should this not output 3 places?
-
I was hoping someone may know I have a new post I am setting up. On a tool feeding at .003IPR it outputs F0. If it is at .01IPR it outputs F.01 It seems like a format problem? Any ideas or help is appreciated. Lathe v.9

I am getting this on output N10 G0 X50. Z50. N20 G50 S1600 N30 T0100 N40 G0 G97 S50 M03 M42 N50 G0 Z3.145 T0101 N60 G0 X2.0008 M8 N70 G50 S1600 N80 G96 S275 N330 G85 N340 U0. W0. D.4 F.01 N340 G81 The problem I am trying to fix is the N330 line. This post was converted from v9. In V9 the N330 line would be N90. If I have another rough cycle it does the same thing. It always changes by 250. I can renumber it after post or it will run as is but I would like to fix it. Thanks
-
I am trying to find a problem with "N" sequence number output. Lathe post canned rough cycle. There is a seqinc$ that may be the problem. Were do the values of seqinc come from? In the rough canned cycle, the call line is always increased by 250 form line before.
-
I am not sure but it may possibly be the same fix. I would check in the Fanuc post for the same thing change it and test.
-
DavidB: My post is for a Okuma lathe and to fix the "D" depth of cut problem they had me change the following. In both plinout$ and pcirout$ change the following line if cend = 1 & rcc_flg > 0>..... To if (cend$ = 1 |cend$ = 3) & rcc_flg$ > 0, pbld, n$, "G80", e$
-
jmparis: Tried that does not fix it. I only wish it was that easy but I have a feeling it is something to do with the changes from v9-v10 post. I was getting no "D" depth of cut and I finally got an answer from the Post department that resolved it and it was a post code change. I am thinking this is the same.

In a converted post lathe canned rough cycles the seqence number is doubling at cycle start. Example: N290 T0100 N300 G0 G97 S200 M03 M42 N310 G0 Z3.245 T0101 N320 G0 X2.12 M8 N330 G50 S1600 N340 G96 S350 N680 G85 N690 U0. W0. D.2 F.01 N690 G81 If you look at line N340, the next line is N680, Double the previous line. This happens on rough turn canned cycles. At the end of the cycle after G80 the sequence number goes back to N100? Anyone have an ides where to look for this problem. Thanks

Thad If I have a zip2go file I sent from my home computer and I want the MD and CD I need Control, lmd and Post , correct? Thanks
-
To transfer a machine/control def from another computer using zip2go what files are needed. Also what is the Mastercam.ft, Mastercam.mtb. There is a mcamx.config, is this the master config file? If I just use the .lmd and control and post will this bring in the machine/control def. Thanks

I have this set in new v10 post for a 4th axis generic fanuc. #Axis locking rot_lock : 1 #Use rotary axis lock/unlock codes (0 = no, 1 = yes) slock "M10" #Axis lock sunlock "M11" #Axis unlock But I am still not getting the lock/unlock code. What else could need set or be wroung to stop this from working?

If I go File-Edit/open external, then select a .nc file the editor opens but no file is showing. If I then select the nc file with the editor open from above it shows? Is this normal? Do I need to open the editor first to edit an nc file or is there a problem?

It says hasp not found, I have a hasp4 but have not recieved update codes yet.
-
I installed on a new computer XP Pro, and I got at hasp set up the fowlling error File Processing Error Error Code 12,4 659 2 When I go into X directory and run Haspinfo it says hasp not found. When I run Hasp X it seems to say everything is ok. Mastercam X starts up and runs no errors. Is there a problem I need to correct? Thanks
-
I changed the MD around and got it to output a "B" without changing the post. In the MD I set up the machine as Table group = X-axis, B-axis and table, under the spindle group is Z-axis, Y-axis and spinle. Is this going to be a problem? Or should I start again and change the post leaving the MD as it was and changing the post as Paul suggested?
-
I read another post and know I beleave the rotary axis orientation is still coming from the post? The MD will set this in the future, is this correct? I am getting a little confused.
-
In v9 for a horizontal machine B-axis rotates about Y-axis. I would create the part with the machined face in the front view. Is this the same in V10? I am trying to edit the post in v10 for a horizontal machining center. The MD for a Mill 4-Axis HMC shows B-axis rotate about Z+. It works but outputs C as the rotary axis. I need B as the rotary axis. This was defined in the post in v9, is it not defined in the MD now in v10? I thought i understood the MD setup but I am not sure.
-
The way I have been doing it is File:Edit/open external Then look up the post you want to edit.
-
Sorry I was confused on the "Write NC operaiton information". This has corrected the D value but I am still not getting a G80, end of cycle?
-
Jim: I changed all the parameters in the list I can find in the post and it is still the same. No depth of cut and no G80 end of cycle. I am thinking that I checked the "Write NC operaiton information" but maybe not. If not couls that cause this problem?
