I played around a bit and couldn't get my desired results.

(Y REFERENCE POINT RETURN) N360 M30 % Another problem is that if the Ref Point Z retract is the same as the clearance height it is not posted. (eg. If the clearance height is 7.5" and the ref point Z retract is 7.5" code is not posted. If I put ref point Z retract as 7.1" then it is posted as above in the first example, but in the wrong spot. I need it to be posted no matter what the value is.) Thanks,

Thanks Guys. I'll play around and see what I can make of it.

Can someone point out where in the post the Ref Point button function is dealt with? The button is functional but the code that is produced is not correct. I'd like to go in and modify the post. Thanks,

First let me say that the X+ set-up sheet c-hook is a great product. The only question I have with it is, can the screen shot image be adjusted so that it outputs a bigger sized image to the .html set-up sheet? Thanks,

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back here guys. I've been extremely busy in the shop getting things set-up. Thanks for the help. I'll be working with this in the hopefully near future.

We just got our new VF-6 in the shop and a VF-11 on the way. When trying to integrate the probe into Mastercam, do I use the VQC cycles or the WIPS cycles? I'm starting with a post from In-House. What is everyone else using? Did you write your own post or are you using one purchased from someone that integrated the cycles for you? Thanks for the any and all help.

Having double sided chamfer tools and being able to cut on either side of the tool woud be sweet. Being able to just pick a chamfer and have Mcam figure out how many cuts and where they have to be would be great instead of having to create extra geometry would be really handy.

I'll give that a try.

I think I've tried that before with no luck. But I'll give it a shot again. Thanks,

Mcam X2-MR2 Level 1 We get our drawings as solids. Since we don't have the solids option I manipulate the gview, save the gview and reset that WCS origin to that view. That works great. I even do this now with straight wireframes. The problem I have is when I want to merge another file (a vise) into the file I'm working on. The file I'm merging will on merge in with the gview it was created with, not the current gview I had set to manipulte the solid. Is there any way of merging the file so that it merges with the current gview? Thanks for the help, [ 01-29-2008, 01:16 PM: Message edited by: Moparmatty ]

I am having the same problem with all of our posts. We've changed the switches in the post and in the definitions but arcs are still output in quadrants and helix bores are output in small linear moves. Any ideas?

I would also like to know if the saved location for setup sheets can be changed.
