Thanks for like to the thread James
Ideally I'd like to call sub programs from an actual server, as these subs vary and serialized. I'm thinking operator would enter a serial number into #850, main program would call sub program corresponding to the serial in #850 on the ( ex: server, dnc... where some one can update sub programs remotely)
My company is trying to call sub program off the server would this work
M198 P#850
#850=xxxx (program on the server)
Machines are:
Fanuc Robodrill Fanuc @-D21MiB5 (Series 31i model - B5) and Fanuc @-T14 iB (series 16im)
Anybody has experience in this please give some guidance
Thank you very much in advance
That is nice! What i really want is let say my level 1 "geometries" i would have my geometries drawn on and set it to green color and on my level 2 "dimension" i have it set to yellow color. I might be going back and forth between the two levels, having the levels color, line type, line width properties set beforehand would save some clicking.
Is it possible to preset level properties in mastercam?
For example:
Level #1 Line type: solid, thickness 2 , color purple
Level #2 Line type: dotted, color green
Here it is #Rekd, I think i might got it. But let me know if there is a better way to approach it. Thanks

Hello everybody
I got a question about 4-axis hope somebody could shed some lights. At my work our 4-axis works are programed off a face plate, our programmers been doing this for years and they work great. The face plate is permanently bolted to rotary, it has a flat at A0, XY0 is the bore of that hole for Work offsets (G54-G57) for 4 sided parts, Z0 all tool lengths are 1" Gage block off that flat. I've tried doing 4-axis this way and it didn't turned right, A0 side seemed OK, but other sides tool kinda look buried into the work.
