    Best to get a hold of your Mastercam dealer since in my opinion this is a very specific request. Possible yes, but would need a sample file in a Z2G with the post with about 20-30 different operation to give conditions used to make sure the post is doing it in a way that is not going to give problems else where. Even then it would be a use at your own risk.

    Ref Points in Operation might do exactly what you are asking for. Have you tried using them?

    yes exactly ref points is an effective way to correct that problem.. I really hadn't tried it.. you're a genius thanks!

  2. I have a question. Is there a method to separate the rapid movement of Z that is next to the X and Y coordinates on the same line? this occurs when using the same tool but different retracts on two toolpaths.
    example


    G2 X50. Y-20.5 I-10.5 J0.
    G1 X-50.
    G2 X-60.5 Y-10. I0. J10.5
    G1 Y10.
    G2 X-50. Y20.5 I10.5 J0.
    G1 X0.
    G3 X3. Y23.5 I0. J3.
    G1 Y27.5
    G0 Z100. <====== end of first operation
    X-63.65 Y3.698 Z20. <====== start of second operation
    Z10.
    G1 Z1. F5000.
    X63.65 F1458.
    G0 Z10.
    X-63.65 Y-3.698

    I would like to separate the Z20. and place it on an independent line so that the movement is not the 3 simultaneous axes.. like this:

    G2 X50. Y-20.5 I-10.5 J0.
    G1 X-50.
    G2 X-60.5 Y-10. I0. J10.5
    G1 Y10.
    G2 X-50. Y20.5 I10.5 J0.
    G1 X0.
    G3 X3. Y23.5 I0. J3.
    G1 Y27.5
    G0 Z100. <====== end of first operation
    X-63.65 Y3.698 <====== start of second operation
    Z20. <====== second operation retraction
    Z10.
    G1 Z1. F5000.
    X63.65 F1458.
    G0 Z10.
    X-63.65 Y-3.698

    Thanks in advance

     

    I hope it's clear
