Is it just me,or are there others having the same annoying problem.

It doesn't do this all the time,and it has happened with both Mill and Lathe.

But right now I am about ready to destroy something.

Here it is:.....

When I click on "Post" in the Operation Manager,it brings up the usual window asking me to save,overwrite the .nc file etc...

I'll click ok,then it asks me to save the file,still ok,BUT here is the problem:It will post only 1 or 2 ops into Cimco,THEN post the other 2 ops.

It will make 2 different programs from the same .mc9 file.

WHY IS THIS????

Can anyone help?

It does this because you have two (or more) NCI names that are being posted. Make sure all your ops that you want posted together share the same NCI name.

Check the nci file path of your operation. They need to be the same if you want only one nc file.

Well, beating James to the punch didn't last long.

Thats is because your nci files in operation manager points to the different names.

Select all your operations right click ->options->

change NCI destination -> save them with a common name and your problem will be solved.

This is also a simple way to split your operations to the couple of separate programs !

I think your toolpaths have different NCI files. select all toolpaths then right click and go to options and change NCI desitation. then post it and it should post all toolpaths.

Look at it this way, we're all in agreement so that just keeps us all in check eh??

Hey, here's an idea nobody has thought of. Look at your NCI file and make sure they are all named the same.

You can config your nci so that it always

names your file to the current active operation group also.

James read that a half an hour before you. He has a T3 line, back here in Indiana, we've got all of 56k. You'll never beat him....Who said there was more than corn in Indiana?

Screen, Configure, NC Settings, NCI Path, Initialize Path To...

 

I only have T1.

Well that explains it.

Such a simple thing to fix,but VERY VERY annoying!

I was this close to going out on the floor smashing something with a sledgehammer to take out my frustrations!

Whew!

I also ran into that problem. I think it [the NCI file name destinations] got mixed up because the original MC file was created in v9.0, and I toolpathed in v9.1. (Please correct me if I'm wrong- I'm only a stupid man) Thus, missing geometry on my controller screen! Once I updated so all NCI file destinations were 'in sync' the problem was solved. I wish I could say I resolved this problem on my own accord, but lack of experience forced me to contact our Mastercam dealer. I guess I gotta learn as I go along.

Heres to opposite question.I often use multiple nci names in my 4 axis progs.If I save the ops with geometry and import them the NCI names are over writen with the name of the mc8. Can I make it keep the old NCI name.
