    Re: NC Editor - block numbers and columns

    I'm guessing you want the actual file output to display the block numbers this way, not just NC Editor? If that's the case, then you need to modify your post processor in CAMWorks to display the...

    Re: CamWorks post process

    Are the operations actually combined in CAMWorks (one operation in the tree) or are they simply lined up one after another? If they are truly combined, then you have two options. The easiest is to go...
  4. Re: contain area will not work in solidworks CAM. disables the associated operation

    Ahh, I see the problem. You're inserting operations, not features. CAMWorks (Solidworks CAM) has three different tabs within Solidworks that you can work within. The feature tree, the operation tree...
  5. Re: contain area will not work in solidworks CAM. disables the associated operation

    Hmm, you should always have engrave as an option under any 2.5 axis feature insertion. I use CAMBAM stick fonts quite often for this type of application. They have a decent number of fonts and they...
  6. Re: contain area will not work in solidworks CAM. disables the associated operation

    If its the "5536" text, I would use an engrave feature and that sketch should show up, unless there is something wrong with it like an overlapping line or something. Let me know if it doesn't work...
  7. Re: contain area will not work in solidworks CAM. disables the associated operation

    Its pretty quick if you do it right.

    When adding the boss feature, just select the top of every letter segment at the same time and create them all at once.
    After generating all of the...
  8. Re: contain area will not work in solidworks CAM. disables the associated operation

    If it were me, I would program each letter segment as a boss with a fine or finish strategy. Generate all of those features once you have them all added, get the first one the way you want it (feeds,...
  9. Re: contain area will not work in solidworks CAM. disables the associated operation

    What kind of operation are you using to do the final cleanup? Any chance you can attach the file in question, or at least a screenshot including the CAMWorks operation tree? You can PM me if its too...

  11. Re: Work coordinate system or post processor modification

    CAMWorks will not allow you to create a matching coordinate system to what your machine uses. The CAMWorks coordinate system is actually more of a reference for you, the user, than it is for the...

    Re: Mazak Integrex 200ST

    That is a fairly complicated machine and a difficult post processor to build. Even if someone here had one, it is unlikely that they would part with it for free. Your best bet, if no one here chimes...

    Re: CamWorks to Gcode anomaly?

    Hmm, can you post the code that CAMWorks spit out? I'm guessing this has something to do with your cutter compensation offsets in CAMWorks, but that will usually result in concentric circles. If you...

    Re: Remove extra pass

    I'm still not sure that I've captured what you're looking for. I have SolidWorks CAM standard so I can't see your assembly toolpaths. I've attached a quick example of some things you might try to get...

    Re: Remove extra pass

    Its a little tough to see what you're trying to do. More than likely, you'll want to try playing with the stepover value and also the air segment offset on the "feature options" tab. This is all...

    Never worked on a post for a multi-turret lathe before. I'm thinking this must be handled in the machine settings more so than the post itself, although the post must support it. If I get a few...

    We have 9 FANUC based machines including Robodrills and Feeler mills. The Robodrills are all 18i or 31i controllers and the Feelers are all 0i-M controllers except ONE of them, which is an 18i-MB....

    That makes sense when I am actively machining and WANT the tool to be slightly longer or shorter, but the wear offset doesn't reflect the physical length of the tool from gage-line. It represents the...

    Renishaw OTS Broken Tool Detection

    Hey everyone,

    We have a number of machines in our shop that use the Renishaw OTS touch setter probe for setting tool length offsets. Up until I started, they were never used for in-cycle broken...
