Rotating the Plane give you what you needed?
By Rotating plane is a secondary solution.
In Generic post C zero is at 12 clock position for Lathe - Looking from front & For VTL C zero at 9 clock position - Looking from Top . But i need this C zero at 3 clock position.
so i made change in MD c-axis but it is not working.For reference, I've attached some of images...….

Take you [top-1] plane and rotate it 90 degrees and regenerate the operation. I got this:

I am afraid you going to have to reach out to your dealer and get a custom post for what you need. I tried switches in the post and nothing seemed to give me what your after. I haven't messed with post in years I leave it to the professionals and focus on other work.
Thank you so much !

Go in the LMD (Lathe Machine Definition) and set the start angle for the C axis 90 or -90 and see if that helps.
it's not working

Are you using a Mastercam Generic Post that is looking to the LMD? If you you have a setting in there to control this.
Yes, I'm using generic VTL post.

Hello Gents,
How to change c axis zero position in VTL?
In default VTL post C axis zero is at 9 clock when looking from top. But I need to change this position to 3 clock. I've attached .Mcam file also
If anyone know kindly assist me to that.

I stand corrected the post has not been modified I apologize for making that assumption.
Okay since you shared your file I will try to help you get it.
We are looking in the Post for psccomp as the output variable.
We first see it called in the ltlchg$ section of the post. This the first block called when changing tools or making a program. We see it in this section.

Now we have created a big mess and don't get good output. We have different options, but none of them are what I would consider acceptable and worth spending anymore time on.

I tested this with about 5 different free lathe posts and they all do the same thing. Only my custom posts do what your asking for.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance, but thank you for showing your a legitimate user of Mastercam.
Thank you for quick response

Okay post a Z2G and then we can see what you're seeing. I have never seen the default Lathe post put the G41 there so that is new and not sure why you're seeing it. Only way to know is to have a copy of everything to then see why.
i've attached post & project . Default output for G41/G42 is in rapid block , But we need in linear block.....

This will require some fairly straight forward post modification.
Will need to know your base post and what you want it to look like.
i'm using Default MPLFAN for MC2021
5 hours ago, crazy^millman said:Looks like someone messed with your post. I have never seen G41 come out like that. Reload the Generic post and see what it does. If that is correct then do a file compare to correct the mistake someone made with the post.
No one has modify the post . Only our requirement is G41/G42 should be come in Linear blocks only .
if possible could you please help me to fix this. -
Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to change cutter compensation position in linear block in lathe. Because we are facing issue when using cutter compensation - control mode.
is there any switch inside the post ?

The following regex will match M1000 - M1099
\bM10[0-9][0-9]\b
Here is a link to it being checked against common M-codes
As far as what language is used; in this case it probably doesn't matter. They all should support what you are trying to do. One difference I'm aware of is the the C++ standard library regex implementation doesn't support lookbehind. I think this goes for javascript also, but google will have a better answer if you care to get into the minutiae.
Hi,
can you give me regex Sync code range from M01- M1000

The above regex has some holes in it.
Here is a better one...
\bM([1-9][0-9][1-9]|[1-9][1-9][0-9]|[2-9][0-9][0-9])\b
...and here is the regex being tested against some common M-codes.
\bM([1-9][0-9][1-9]|[1-9][1-9][0-9]|[2-9][0-9][0-9])\b { Current range is 101-999}
Hi,
How i can increase the range to 1000-1099
Regex Programming Language-
1. Python
2.Java
3. Javascript
4.PHP
5.c/c++
Which Programming Language is used to Creating regex for Mastercam ?

please try this.
1. if you search the start menu for “choose a default app for each type of file” you should see that under system settings as I show in the first image below
2. From there you should be able to set the .mcam file extension to open with McamVersionSelecter executable
Facing the same issue after fixing that before a couple of months .

hello,
Is it possible to manipulate Manual entry output as per requirements. Kindly refer below example.

Thank You Sir,
# Create a variable named 'tool_num'. # Format as "integer" if t$ < 10, tool_num = t$ * 1000 #Convert to 1000's if t$ > 9 & t$ < 100, tool_num = t$ * 100 #Convert to 100's if t$ > 99 & t$ < 1000, tool_num = t$ * 10 #Convert to 10's place if t$ > 999, tool_num = t$ pbld, n$, *tool_num, sm06, e$above script i have already implemented . My intention is there should provision in fs2
For example program number - fs2 7 4 0 4 0l #Integer, force four leading
when i enter program no 1 output is O0001 ( Right - Left ).
Program no. fs2 is completely reverse in my case. ( output should be - O1000 )

Hello,
Is there any way to added trailing zero base on input in fs2
fs2 7 0 4 0 4t #Integer, force four trailingfmt "T" 7 t$
when i gives input to tool no. as below
input - output to be accepted
1 - T1000 ( single digit input )
11- T1100 ( two digit input )
101 - T1010 ( Three digit input )
T1000 - T1000 ( 4 digit input ) as it's.
to meet above requirement. Any suggestion in above fs2

For machine sim? Or for the Machine definition that is not tied back to the Machine sim or even has any effect on any toolpath in Mastercam? Please give some more detail.
Not for Machine Simulation.
when i set xyz limit in Machine Kinematics in .mmd file. it doesn't shows any effect when toolpath creation or Nc code.
