in ver X It will assign tool numbers sequentially if under op manager>files>tools you check number tools sequentially.

The only problem I have with this is I can not get it to be checked when I open mcam, I have to check it on every new job.

Anybody know where to change this in control definition? I can not find it.

Thanks Rich

if you don't have snap points assigned to rmb you can find it in fastpoint bar

glad to hear it works

I mentioned the tabbing because if you wanted to just change X position you have to tab or enter through Y and Z (I think)

you had to be there he is redirected now without even a sunburn

much better start to thread now.

welcome to the forum

I have 2 hurcos and I use seperate posts because 1 of them is only ultimax 1 or 2 and the other is an ultimax 4.

You could probably use the same post for yours if they both have the same software options rigid tap,enhanced nc,macros,etc. otherwise I would use seperate posts to allow you to tweak them for the options of the machine.

then read this post

good place to start

glad to help

if you want to move to an absolute position use from/to pick point on screen and without moving mouse enter axis letter and type in position tab though till xform dialog box reappears then apply. If mouse moves then fastpoint box reads mouse position and will move in all directions.when xform dialog box reappears check delta move values to make sure only the axis you want to move has a value.

Rich

pick point icon in ribbon bar or push "p"

seems to work for me

+ 1

gcode

under op manager>files>tools

assign tool #'s sequentially

will number them starting at 1

Rich

were you using mphur.pst ?that is the one I had problem with.

did you run in debug to make sure it is happening in z-retract?

I have only posted a few programs,they were ok.Thanks for the heads up I will watch closer now.

Rich

I had the same or a similar problem with a hurco post after updating.I added brackets to the if statement that was causing it.It seemed like ver X needs better syntax for post.

Here is the section I changed

ptlchg0$ # Null tool change 1000

if comment$ = 1,

[ #added brackets to stop line number at end of last line rb

n$, popcode,e$

pr

pcan

n$, sgplane, ss$,e$

if prv_z$ <> zr$ & op_id$ <> prv_op_id$, n$, psg00, zr$,e$

if prv_c$ <> c$, protary

pstorfr

!op_id$

]

I don't exactly remember if mine had a "Z" move with it or just the line number.

I also had 2 lines near end that had just seq #'s so I changed this to get rid of those

peof$ # End of file for non-zero tool 1003

'n$', sgplane,e$ #added single quotes to stop blank line rb

if prv_coolant$ <> 0,n$, pcooloff,e$ #added if statement to stop blank lines rb

n$, "M5",e$

n$, "G0 M25",e$

#n, "G0", xh, yh

n$, "M2",e$

"E",e$

MillingMan,

in internet explorer under tools>internet options>advanced I had to uncheck "use passive ftp" as well

Thanks Chuck

I will have to do some checking now.

Must be me.

Hi Chuck

Welcome to the forum.

are you running win XP?

did you have to change anything for X?

alt o will hide toolpath manager when you don't want it taking up space

I am in the process of learning X it is going ok, but I keep finding the program really doesn't do anything more it just has a "windows" interface.The reduction in clicks everyone was talking about I haven't seen yet either it just seems like you click in more different spots than before.

I wonder why ver X won't open more than 1 file in a session so you can window back and forth like other windows programs

I have used transform toolpath in op manager and had good results with it.

Has anyone else trried to use winline drivers with X ?

Hi,

I tried plotting today from mcam X and got a fatal error that shut windows down with a big blue screen.

"PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA winlinedrv.dll"

I am using a calcomp designmate 3036 plotter with winline driver to serial port.dell dimension 4600 3 ghz with 512 mb ram running win XP.The plotter works fine with mcam 9,and all windows programs.

could this be a serial port conflict? I couldn't find any plotter setup in X.

Thanks in advance

Rich

Harry,

I have a calcomp designmate 3036.I set it up with winline and it worked fine on xp for all programs.

I tried it with X today and it fatally crashed my computer.Have not found problem yet.After I rebooted I opened the file in mcam 9 and it plotted fine.
