how about patches that can be downloaded when things get fixed

use dynamic milling HTH

LOL @ rickster so we maybe could see it working in 6 months

when does MU1 for the survey come out cant pick more than 1

no problem

sounds like you did everything right you just changed the NC destination file that makes no sense to me why it does that now if you want zip2go the MD/CD to me and i will give it a try on my box once and see what happens we are all beta testers i guess

i have never had that happen to me i went in set all my folders paths and it was all good dumb question but you did change the correct machine def i see its asking about valid axis combination (i missed that before)

rickster yes you want to replace it with the new MD so your files will go in the correct location it still is referencing the old one

set it here rickster and it sticks i save after i set each one

i have mine set in the CD under files for the destination on the network and they stick for me rickster if you want a screen shot let me know HTH

the couple of times i have had it crash i get the crash report first for CNC then after i send the crash report the "unhandled exemption" window pops up which i didnt know about till after i sent the crash report so in my crash report they never knew i was getting this error but they still got the crash report on what i was doing and how it happend hopefully it helps

i have mine set for any milling HPCC will be on

im confused why they would have it setup like that...bad gibbs cam post maybe look in the kitamura book it will tell you how G5 Q1 works and when the machine will just shut it off (drilling/tapping/toolchange/etc)i dont know why you would make sure it is off just to turn it on i ran into a similar problem here with edgecam they wanted the code just like so out of MC i told them you got more BS in the program then is needed here is what it should look like they fought it in the beginning but now they are use to it change can be a hard pill to swallow if they are dead set on it hard code it like ron said good luck

this is how i have our kitamura 4XiF setup no i meant in the operation i have all our defaults set to MR1=3 is this what you trying to do AI NANO % O0000 (TKTK) (KITAMURA 4XiF) (MCX FILE - TONY FORGOT TO SAVE) (DATE - SEP-14-2009) (PROGRAMMER - ) (REV LEVEL ) N1G0G17G20G40G80G90 N6G91G28Z0.
