... or in any field you can type in "mm" to your data. Ex. I deed to draw a 7.23mm circle. I would type in 7.23mm in the diameter and Mastercam will automatically convert it.

CAMplete isn't a programming system. It's Post Processor, Collision Checking and Simulation software package. I use it almost daily as well. It is a tool that is critical to utilizing and training 5-Axis equipment. .

I ran into this problem. I submitted it to QC and they said they could not replicate it. For me, it was happening when I tabbed between the Name and Description fields when there was existing data with characters in the field.

FANUC DPRNT - Outputting Comments to your I/O Channel
cncappsjames replied to cncappsjames's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Odd that Memory Card wants to go... sort of. On some machines you can't transfer a program from USB to Dataserver, yet you can transfer from Memory Card. Did you put a Memory Card in the slot before testing? Dataserver typically uses FTP. Yours seems like an odd bird. In Section 4.8 of the FANUC Parameter Manual, (covers parameters 901 through 930). -
FANUC DPRNT - Outputting Comments to your I/O Channel
cncappsjames replied to cncappsjames's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Check parameters #20 (should already be 17), #21, #22, and# 23. They should all be 17. -
And...... when all fails on a FANUC controlled machine, set the parameter to arrrive simultaneously because dog leg is dog crap; FANUC 0i, 16i, 18i, 21i, 30i, 31i, and 32i Series controls #1401.1 = 1 - Positioning is performed with linear interpolation so that the tool moves in a straight line.

Edge break at end and beginning without geometry creation

He must not have liked that useful solution. -
I use an MX Master. I've got big hands and 90% of the mice in the market just suck and make my hand cramp after a short time of use.

List of toolpaths not supported by mill turn
cncappsjames replied to AGreen5's topic in Industrial Forum
It's not a g-code simulator like an ICAM, NC Simul CAMplete or Vericut. It doesn't "know" you need this or that to do a tool change. It only knows to do the toolchange and outputs whatever the post says to. -
Yeah, Mill Level 1 has the wire frame toolpaths. Early in my career I (V3.0 days) the wireframe paths saved my bacon because surface tool paths were pretty primitive at the time... and SLOW to process. I still use 2D Swept a fair amount. 2D swept is a great way to cheat top surface corner radii if you don't have a corner rounding end mill.

Post issues ≠ software issues. Get with @Postability and the issues will go away, it really is as simple as that. Especially for a FANUC controlled machine. -

I'd work with Postability. There is no reason those features described should not post out the way you would expect. There's probably some Misc. Int./Reals that need to be set. -
