I'm having trouble editing my post to give me a work offset call with a G90 A0. at the end of my program. This is where I am trying to put it in my post: peof$ #End of file for non-zero tool pretract comment$ if stagetool = 1 & stagetltype = 2, pbld, n$, *first_tool$, e$ n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, "A0.", e$ <------- the line I have added. n$, "M30", e$ Not sure what I'm doing wrong to get a output of G54, G55, etc. This is what it is posting: G0 Z1.1 M9 G91 G28 Z0. M5 G28 Y0. G0 G90 A0. M30 % And this is what I want: G0 Z1.1 M9 G91 G28 Z0. M5 G28 Y0. G0 G90 G54(or whatever work offset program is using) A0. M30 % Thank you -
The B on A axis offset on my HAAS VF2TR works out to .130 using the procedure described in the HAAS manual. How do I best deal with this offset within Mastercam?

I was told last Thursday we are buying 2 new machines so we can pull in the major outside work. 2 Haas VM-5SS were budgeted.These are loaded including the new scrap conveyers. I was never asked about tthe buy, but was told I was to be involved in the selection. Didnt happen. I program, run and do the light maintaince on out VM-3 asd SL-10. So long story short, we can look at other machines. We need 2 x 50" min in "X" travel. Looked at Mori. I could get one for the price of 2 Haas. OUch ! Looked at Hardige( Bridgeport is what the mill machines are called now) Same price as Haas. Dont know how good they are. Doosan ? I havent called yet. but will in a bit. How good are the mills? I see a OM control. VM6500 is close. Any Idea guys. This is going to happen real fast. (Well ok, its the midwest) I see machines on the floor in January. Machineguy. By the way, I dont know if the Haas VM-5SS can run hard 2 shifts, 5 days a week and stay running. Tolerance is +/- .002. Im concerned about mismatch on the long runs from cold to hot. We are air conditioned here.

I would like the post to always default to no X0 in the G28 line for our Haas mills. Is there a simple way to go into Mastercam X6 and do this? This is what the end of my programs look like. G91 G28 Z0. M9 G28 X0. Y0. M30 This is what I would like the default to be without having to remove the X0 each time we post. G91 G28 Z0. M9 G28 Y0. M30
