I'd probably start with the 'adaptive-moriseiki.cgt' these days, or the inch equivalent, and take it from there.

Open up the help and search for "selecting adjoining entities by chaining". This is in my 2014 help files but should be there for 2012 too. If you have a closed profile you want to select then just...
This is some code from a cgs we use ......

Yeah it's a little tricky. When I'm back at work on Monday I'll dig out the code I used and see if I can explain in clearer terms!
Only other thing I can think of is you don't have a solids licence? Have you ever used feature finder before? If you reset to default profile you'll get the icon on the left as mentioned before, or...
Speak to the UK support guys, although V12.5 probably won't be suported anymore.
Yes you can. How confident are you with Code Wizard? Look in your Code Wizard help (at least from 2012r1) for CGE - Code Generator Extension.
Looking at your toolbars, it seems like you need to reset back to default.
Options - Profiles - Mill/Turn or MillTurn - Default.
Feature-find icon should appear (pair of binoculars) at lower...
Personally I would import your solid model into Edgecam and orientate it around CPL TOP. Then simply select the solid you want to export, and right click and navigate down to 'output model'.
Then in...
Guys,
As promised please find attached a post and a simple ppf. Have done this for 2014r1 but the logic in the post can be copied into older posts - have tested back to 2012r1 using an adaptive...
No problem - forgot to add to earlier post that you'll need to set up some user variables in the format table - #user17 to #user20. Just copy the format from my post.
Also, feel free to drop me a...
I tried to create a new post but can't get it to work. Easier to reply to this ...
Guys,

I'll probably create a new post as I copy the ;code from the original. What version of Edgecam are you running and I'll write it in that, if I've got it. I've got 2012r1, 2013r1, 2013r2 and 2014r1.
Actually, having looked at the post again I might not get this done in my lunch hour.
Give me a day or two and I'll make some good notes. It's not too complicated. Just a couple of variables, an...
I can't let you have the post but I'll try and tell you how it works and give you some ideas. I'll create a new post for it. Basically the post will output two programs.
The first looks like this...
Ask the guys at Edgecam UK - I'm sure they wrote one last year or the year before.
I've done something similar before and what I did was to customise a simple 3 axis post processor.
All they had to do was program as normal but at the start of the program we had a menu where they...
Open the post, go to 'NC Styles, G-Codes and Modality', open up 'NC Debug' and select the 'generate code constructor trace'. Compile and run your code again.
As that snippet of code includes a T...
Hi Daudi,
Zero point of the post should be the spindle nose.
Make sure the A axis and C axis cross and base the primary component location there (maybe allowing for a table height in Z).
Cheers for the reply.
Having done some more work the morning I've changed my mind on how to tackle this.
Now in my main program I set 3 VC variables (VC47 VC48 and VC49 in this example) to zero...
Hi guys,
We're getting 2 new MB8000H machines next month and I'm starting to write the post processor for our CAM system.
Does anyone know if you can pass through X Y and Z data into a sub...
Hi guys,
It could depend on whether your post is set up to index in the correct way. In theory if you create your cpl correctly then a move index should always index there.
See my video to see...
Open up code wizard, create a new post using the adaptive iso template. Compile this post. Create a ppf with some typical work and select your post. Output the code, open the post again and tweak the...
If you've created your own post processor you'll obviously have renamed it to something you recognise. Make sure you have compiled it with code wizard.
Next up, when you go into manufacturing or...
Easy one this.
Simply select each entity (line for example) at the same end you want to join up.
So if you wanted to make a ruled surface from two vertical lines, simply select both lines either...
Dont see why not. Your geometry looks ok and your P and Q values tie up too.
Although we had proven posts for the Mark IV which we used in the UK, I thought the template post for the Adaptive Integrex was pretty close to start with.
If you don't want to spend the cash then...
Hi Itko,
This is indeed the way that Edgecam works with operations. If you edit an operation, it gets broken down and then you get the manual way of programming Edgecam, ie, select tool, pick a...
Hi Dan,
That post must have taken ages to model up, what is the file size on the post and do you have any issues with time spent loading the model into simulator?
Not seen one of these Okumas...
Hi,
Back to your question the other day. Just knocked up this video to show how to create a new cpl with wireframe and then use that in a new machining sequence.
