I was using 5 axis drill to hit 3 sides of a part but when it goes to the back side it uses the feeds from the tool definition instead of the ones i defined in paramaters. This is weird because the first two sides of part it does use my defined feed from paramaters. I just changed the tool definitions feed to match for my tap but why is this happening? my tool settings under machine group always has feed calculation "from tool" checked but it only reads what i have defined in paramaters. Please shed some light on this I suddenly feel like a newbie T4 M6 S3800 M3 G0 G54 G90 X.9005 Y-5.0125 B180. A-90. T5 G43 H4 Z8.911 /M8 G81 G98 Z2.096 R2.311 F8.

Okay I have a part with 530 holes that needs to be 5 Axis Drilled. I made my Hole Axis for all holes using the Versurf Auto HoleAxis in minutes on separate levels. I then used 5 Axis drill with points and lines again got a toolpath in minutes.I used Safety Zone which works great. Then I post code and get about 6000 extra lines of posted code. Anyone know of a way to filter the Safety Zone moves? Short of Toolpath Editor I don't know of a way. NCI is 79.5 K with just the points and lines as the toolpath. With Safety Zone it goes to 3498.7K. Sorry that is just insane. Short of making 530 different operation for each hole and then 530 linking moves I am not sure what else I can do to eliminate all the extra code. NX makes very nice code on these parts and I may have to give this huge project back to the customer, unless I can find a way to reduce the excess code I will have to eat my words and tell the customer sorry I cannot do the work. ITAR controlled part, but I have attached a sample file. Op 3 is more like the randomness of the real part. Edit: File Removed

Has anyone else seen this? It appears to be a bug going back to at least X5 and still present in X7. We are running 4-axis horizontal Makino A61's. All paths are set with WCS to TOP and any Tool/Const Planes set as needed. i.e. Front, Left Side, Custom, etc. In the 5-Axis Drill operation parameters under the Tool Axis Control there is a Rotary Axis setting for X, Y, or Z. Mastercam Help says this setting is based on WCS so since our B-axis (rotary) is about the Z-axis that is what is selected and Mastercam says it's valid. However, the code is wrong and back plot reflects it. In order to get the correct code this must be set to Y-axis. However, when you reopen the file it goes dirty because Mastercam says the path is not valid with the Machine Definition. Is no one using 5-Axis Drill? Or are we doing something wrong? I have tested this on the supplied Mastercam MD/CD's as well as the custom ones we use. No change. We have tried all logical WCS, TP, CP combinations with incorrect code results. Thanks, -Pat
