Auto Cad. I admit, I have not worked auto cad since version 11 but have been in enough others that I know he is trying to bull**** me into dropping this.

Gerry, I know AND if the font size is really too small for the chosen scale,,,,,,, you can change it?? !! ??? I'm ready to shoot myself.

I asked my designer to scale up a print so that I could read it without straining my eyes. I got a whole line of bull why he can't do this. But specifically: I have to produce a drawing to ANSI...

I just checked the two I had out and they are both at 3.7 volts.

I am new on a job operating one of their oldest machines. Hitachi Seiki 23SIII Seicos-L Multi. Went to load a new program and controller froze. Multiple restarts later have realized that machine...

I have the batteries out on the left side, not sure how to look at others with machine running due to the breaker interlock. But looking for a voltmeter now.

No batteries loaded in position C and D.

I have tried to enter from the MEMORY screen, MAINTENCE mode and BACKGROUND EDIT MODE. As soon as I hit PROGRAM CALL the machine freezes. Willing to try anything. I have all of the manuals if you...

LOL, I think It worked.

I can go back and forth between program call and back to edit and MDI, move the machine and back to call. I am going to go get the computer and hook it up. Try to load...

John, I just loaded three programs and getting ready to do the set-up. Ya know tomorrow they are going to say Lee got the Hitachi going and I will say, John and I got it going. Thanks, ya know, it...

I do not see a G53 on my "ACTIVE WORK OFF-SETS" controller screen . Perhaps this Gcode is not used in this way.

When I worked at Cardinal Glass we used something to get the table to a "parts...

All other programs post with:

G91 G28 Z0.
G28 X0. Y0.

I then change it to:

G91 G28 Z0.
G90 G54 X0. Y6. (depending on where my Y ZERO is)

Really, everyone, I am up an running again.

It was the use of G92.

I came in this morning and did a normal start-up. The program worked great. I got the job done and before starting the next...

Suddenly my machine does not read work offsets.

Looking at machine position: all displays read the same:
< Operator > < G54 > < Machine > never change.

<Distance to go> always reads ZERO...

HI,

Just pulled a piece of stock labeled 6061-T651 NFR.

I just wanted to learn the classification and the different sizes.
