I'm pretty sure the 15XT and 15 have different size tables, the XT is a 30X16 and the 15 is a 20X16 travel. I have a model of the 15 table at home in .sldprt format if you want it. Feel free to E-mail me if you do.

Holy cow why is that? This is a brand new machine I have, actin goofy. Nothing but IJK alarms last night over and over can not figure out what the problem is here. Tech is coming today to fix the program coolant nozzle I'll run it by him.

This was posted with computer comp, there is no G41 there. The error occurs at the second to the last line.

On a Haas VMC, I get an alarm, illegal IJK move at the second to the lats line. I'm using helix entry standard pocket seems like I've done this before with no problems. Anyone know what the issue is?

Change planes to front or right, draw the upright angles in that plane spaced how you want them. Transform copy that the length of your part and connect the end points to form the slot. You can use a wireframe tool path to cut it.

Alright, I got it now. Thanks to both of you for the help. Dave

OK, I changed that last night, did not make any difference. How did you change it? I just opened up the control def and changed it, saved it, no change in the code. I must be doing something wrong there. edit I just looked again, mine says arcs supported in all planes? OK. I got it. I needed to access the control def from the machine def page. I missed that pop up window last time. Thanks for getting that sorted . me>
-
OK it's under MCx2 files "Baja a arm roughing" zip 2 go file. Thanks been a tough day sorry bout that.
-
Edit Dah...wrong file. Hang on...
-
OK I made the zip to go, logged onto the FTP and when I try and drag the file onto the FTP my windows tries to open the file instead of dumping it in there.
-
How strange. I have all of that set as you posted. BTW thank you for the pics and explaination. I get a clear helix entry (tiny XYZ line moves) in 4 places in this pocket. It's based off of a line drawing / boundry and everything is at Z0. Would one of you look over the file for me if I can post it on the FTP this evening?
-
Yea I got that one checked too, gcode. This is a standard pocket tool path BTW. Still getting tiny line moves. Using the stock Haas 4x post. Still can't find linerize anywhere.
-
John's suggestions are done, where is linerize? Looked all over for it in the control def, is it hiding somewhere else?
-
Currently when I have a helix entry to a pocket I get small single line moves as output when I post. I'd like to get arcs as I get a little herky jerky on entry moving at 180 ipm. I checked "output arcs" in the tool path dialog, also checked arcs supported in the control def. I still get line moves. Anyone know what I need to change to get arcs?
-
Tonightwas the first time this has happened. I generated some drill ops, the backplot showed up fine but the toolpath was not in the list. Same went for a pocket path I did right after. I selected "delete all empty" from the RMB in the toolpath manager box and the drill and pocket paths showed up. Actually happened three more times, same fix brought them back. Anyone ever have this happen? Something I am doing wrong?

Yes boot camp was the software I was thinking of. Thanks. Lot of talk in that thread, good stuff but does not look like anyone has actually tried it yet.
-
Anyone doing it? Running under that MS XP emulation software (forget the name)? I'd like to get a mac next computer (wife got one and I've really taken a liking to it) but if it won't run my CAD/CAM stuff it's a no go. How about Solidworks? Anyone try that one on a Mac?
-
Appreciate the help John and Gcode. Dave
-
gcode. I just went through all of the help .pdfs and none of them have over about 400 pgs. Which file should I look at? edit I found it, pg 215 ref guide. Don't understand it but I found it.
-
Thanks for the help. Dave
-
I made a copy of my Haas post (mcam/mill/posts)and made some changes. It's not showing up when I go and try to select a machine. What do I need to do? I did a search for the subject of post not showing up but nothing turned up. If this has been covered before sorry, can you point me to the thread. Thanks Dave
-
Once again, thank you. Think I got it now. Let me ask what language is the post written in (so I can go get a book on it)? Maybe learn me a thing or two. Dave
-
Got one more. When I put the above code into the pwrtt$ section do I delete the following or leave it in there? if tool_info > 1 & t$ > 0 & gcode$ <> 1003, ptooltable Dave

Thanks for the help John. Dave
