I dont know if it is possible to do simultaneous rotary work with roughing waterline,dont think so.
the toolpaths should not look like that when you mill with the A-axis.
Try using engraving...

Sprutcam 7 came with many postprocessors,not very good ones but lots of them:)
Maybe you can find one that is close to what you need.
I would do it in separate 2D contouring operations then you will have more control off the toolpaths.
You can use 2D contour on a 3D model.
Select the edges as job assignment.

I use notepad to sort the tool library out simply by using cut and paste.
The milling tool library is not so bad to use in Sprutcam but the Lathe tool library is a total nightmare.
It can drive...
Try make the stock a little smaller.
That will probably make sprutcam not mill the outside of the part.
Format 2 is Fanuc compatible so a Fanuc postprocessor should work ok.
I use Sprutcam on a hardinge lathe with Fanuc control.
But i write the threading G76 code manual since i never got the post to work for G76 threading.
Hi i tried your DXF file in Sprutcam 7 and it worked fine.
Maybe some visibility icon are turned off.
I tried lots of different postprocessors but they all make the same small g01 moves when radius is 400 or bigger.

Hi Thanks for all the answers.
I changed the setup in Sprutcam to inch and then i got the same good g-code with g02 as MichaelHenry got.
But then i drawed a circle 400 inch in radius and made a...
Yes "smooth by arcs" does work but only in a way that it makes more g01 moves or less g01 moves.
It still does not make g02,g03 moves if the radius is bigger than 400 mm.
Sure the programs works...
I have changed all the parameters so it should put out g02,g03
I have also tried different settings for arcs in the postprocessor.
Nothing works and since it makes fine g02,g03 arcs when the...
I draw it in sprutcam but i tried import as dxf or iges and its been the same problem.
If you could make a simulation and output g-code it works.
So how did the code look, was it lots of small g01...
Hi
Can anyone help me understand why Sprutcam7 makes small g01 moves when machining a circle with a radius bigger then 400 mm
and use g02,g03 when the radius is smaller then 400 mm?
Maybe im...
It should work with a waterline operation if you pick the 45 degree face as the job assignement.
Did you leave any stock in your roughing operation?
I got the Sprutcam 7 express version to work now.
Before there was a express version to download but now you got to download the full version.
Then click cancel or wait for the trial period to run...
Hi does anybody know if the free express version is still available?
I can not find it anywere so i guess its gone.
One thing that could work is to extrude the curves on the part and use that as the workpiece.
I often use this method when i work with parts that are watercut to profile and not starting from a...

Hi
Do you mean that both the model and toolpaths are messed up when you reopen a project?
My current version works great so i dont have the problem you have.
tommy
I tried to download it a couple of times but it did not work i got the same "time has expired" as you did.
But after reading your reply i tried again and today it worked:)
So it looks like it...
Hi! how does it work with Sprutcam Express,is it free forever or just for a limited time?
I have Sprutcam Master at work but it was nice to have Express at home for looking at models and some simple...
How old is the machine and what control does it have Fanuc?
i run a Hartford HV60 1995 Fanuc OM control at work.
The most parts to the machine are still possible to get from Hartford in Tawain....
I got it to work now:)
I tried to find a postprocessor that used mist M07 and change that to M50
as Brian suggested,but i did not find one.
So it was just luck and trial and error that got it to...
hi Brian thanks for your answer.
If i change Mc = 8 to Mc = 50 the postprocessor is putting in M50 in the program.
Thats good :)but i want to be able to choose between flood=M8 and Mist=M50.
If...
Hi im trying to make some small changes in a postprocessor for a Fanuc OM system.
If i click on mist in the feeds window in sprutcam i want the postprocessor to generate the M-code M50=airblast on...
