    Re: Rhinocam long hand

    I think he means converting the canned cycle (G83) into a series of G0's and G1's for the drilling operation. I remember using this option in Mastercam years ago, but I don't recall if RhinoCam's...

    I am thinking it might be registry related, but I'm not positive on this.

    I had this same issue about a year ago. The problem was attached to a user on our domain. The domain user could go to any machine and get the same error, while no one else had any problems. I...

    [SEQ_PRECHAR] puts the N in the line.
    [SEQNUM] puts the actual line number after the N.
    [DELIMITER] adds a space in this instance, but can be changed to other characters if needed. (The space...

    Re: Rhinocam mach3 query

    If you just want to rapid to your Zero position, this is happening in your first program here:

    N850G00X0.000Y0.000

    You can alter your post in RhinoCam to add this in the end of the program, or...
  8. Re: "RUN FROM HERE" Z- Axis goes to Limit switch???????

    I don't think that has to do with RhinoCam. Sounds to me like you need to do something different in the control. What machine and control are you running?

    Re: New User with RhinoCeros and RhinoCam

    I run a small machine shop with 12 seats of Rhinoceros and 8 seats of Rhinocam. It's a very good bang for the buck IMHO. I have never used the older version you have so I can't comment on that.

    In my last suggestion I was referring to rotating your machine coordinate system around the X axis in the LinuxCNC control. If you were able to do that, the control would handle the trig for you. ...

    Re: Trying to drill holes in an angle

    Do you have a 4 or 5 axis seat of RhinoCam? This may be more than a 3 axis seat can handle without manually editing the code. I am only familiar with the 3 Axis advanced seats.

    Some machines use a G2.1 or G3.1 to perform "True" spiral milling by use of an added variable to control the "pitch" of the spiral. It looks to me like this is what Rhinocam is set up for.

    I believe they are talking about mach 3. I have thread-milled with mach 3 in the past. It should be able to handle that. PM sent.
