The check box exists because some folks choose not to associate numbers to specific tools. Instead they may choose associate the tool number to the operation. Eg, op1 = tool1, op2 = tool2 and so on.
Be sure to double click one of the inside hole surfaces, and not the top edge.
Yes, you should be probing in X. Although having said that I have no experience on a HMC. I run a VF2 and the program that I posted was mainly as an example of syntax. My rotary is mounted with the...
Yes, I am using a P9818 to correct for an A axis located along X, so my probe travels in Y.
You need to do something with the values that your P9817 macro records. Hence in my example: ...
The example is showing the rotary as a B axis. Just change it to A and input your desired angle as the number value.
Here is what I use to reset 54 A0 position when using a pneumatic 5c closer on...
Take a look at this pdf section 9-2:

I think it is what you are looking for.
This is a known error message. It does not effect your code. Email/call Tormach and they will fix it for you.
Try setting 23
As Pops alluded to, there are quite a few variables and things to look at. If you can post your project file I would be glad to help.
If you have previously run an operation that has removed material from the outside of the part, you can try increasing the value in the box of the attached picture. This may help you from re-cutting...
Line segments seem to work better than faces for job/restrict zone choices. If you still have trouble, go to model tab, select your whole part and try 'sew faces' this sometimes helps. It's been a...
When I notice the update systray icon for Sprut pop up, rather than just applying the update patch, I go to the SprutCam website, login and download the entire new build (offline installer). It...
I've been from 7 to 8 and now 9. You should be able to just copy your tool library file into the SprutCam 9 directory. I would suggest downloading the 30 day trial from the Sprutcam website and give...
You should not have to draw any additional geometry. Just simply turn on edge selection, and double click one of the edges at the top of your pocket. If double clicking doesn't select the whole upper...
Emails sent to both of you.
PM me and I will send you the machine definition and post that I use for my VF2.
This reminds me to suggest trying the 'sew faces' command under the model tab. It will usually alleviate gap and selection issues with problem faces.
If the orientation of all the brackets is the same, just import a single bracket and use the transformations section in each operations parameters to create an array.
SS machines have faster tool changes than standard machines equipped with SMTCs.
The probe system is far more valuable than lighting or a jog pendant. Seldom do I ever use an indicator with my VF2....
No problem. Anytime. Nice looking handguards.
In the upper left pane click your machine and select workpiece from the lower pane. Then click primitive and choose either tube or turn envelope.274166
I run Solidworks for CAD and use the SprutCam addin to export .iges, no issues to report. I have also programmed and machined parts for customers that were .iges and .step files that originated from...
Don't forget the 'Sew Faces' and 'Join Curves' functions they can sometimes help fix import errors.
Changing the tool length always seems to work okay for me. But I do wish there was an easier way to set the LOC vs the stickout from the holder.
One of my favorite/necessary tools is an extended...
I have been staying current with all the version 9 updates and have not had any issues. I run a Haas though, so I don't know if that could be any issues with the Tormach.
Yes. It has been sold.
I owned two licenses of SC8 allpost. I have since upgraded one to SC9 leaving me with one fully licensed SC8 allpost. If it is allowed I would most likely be willing to transfer you my remaining SC8...
This is where it gets interesting and complicated. HSM can take on many meanings. In this case I am speaking to the overall material removal rate possibly increasing do to a more predictable...
