M2 Technologies currently has a few openings in the Edgecam Code Wizard training September 20-21. Details on this course are at www.m2t.com/event/edgecam-code-wizard-2
If you want to learn "why...
Before throwing out a good software tool for the one you know, have you considered training? If you're in the CT region, I've got space in the Intro to CAM course that is running today and tomorrow....
This capability requires the Advanced Multi-Task Machine Options software module, a specific Code Wizard post processor configuration, and Machine Manager (database entries) to be in place BEFORE you...
Hi KamilK. In addition to training from a knowledgeable pro (such as your Edgecam reseller), have a look at the Code Wizard forum in the Customer Community Forums. This has a great deal of helpful...
This would be helpful, and it sounds exactly like the Tool Kits / Job Kits that are part of the new Surfcam Workflow software.
Hi Doyle,
Edgecam installations include the Code Wizard, which is a great software tool for users that want to handle post processor modifications. If this is what you're question is about, you...
Sounds very strange. I'd try starting a new file, then use either Insert Component or Insert Part (File menu) and see if that gets something going. If not, perhaps it's related to a problem saving...
Edgecam Workflow 2015 R1 makes secondary setups much easier, and maintains the stock recognition across all setups. While the STL export things was how this was done in Edgecam 2014 R2 and previous...
Hi Chad,
The Code Wizard has templates flavored to different controls. The adaptive-integrex.cgt template is designed for the Matrix controls on Mazak's e- and i-series machines, and can also be...
The Roughing cycle is intended to remove material from all walls. Since "slot geometry" has 2 walls, expect the Roughing cycle to construct passes for each wall. As others have noted, the intent...
You need to configure the post processor with the starting and maximum datum values (NC Style Section, Datum Setting tab), and configure the Format Table so that Work Coordinate System values have...
The message "Rotary Feature must wrap around Z axis of current CPL" indicates that the centerline of the rotary face is not coincident with the centerline. My suggestion would be to use the Verify...
This is a very capable machining center with potential for collision, and it requires a fairly advanced post processor. Keep in mind that a post processor from another field application will need...
Don't create 2 databases. The Toolkit Assistant is a component of the ToolStore database that allows job kits to capture the unique information assigned to tools as they are used in "job kits".

Generally speaking, tegardless of the CAM system, a different post processor is required for each unique CNC code format.
It sounds like your friend uses a common code across all the CNC machines, and can therefore use a single post processor.
If you can determine what CNC code will work universally in your CNC...
Hi Matt. You do need a unique tool record in the database. While we recognize that only the insert is changing, the database is looking at the tool as an insert mounted at a specific angle.

The thread is not displayed for turning application in Edgecam.
Edgecam does show full machine simulation, collision checking all components, and provides axis limit checking. Does Mastercam...
Turn on the "Operation Names" check box when you generate code.
Contact your reseller about the option to load ACIS solids. This will enable you to open the SAT solids. If you haven't had solids-focused Edgecam training recently, you should get that too. With...
Edgecam 2011 R2 supports up to and including Autocad 2010 DWG files. FYI - this information is available in the Installation Guide.
The best method is to add your materials & cutting tool grades (insert) to the database, set the relational lookup cutting values, and then link tools to the appropriate "insert".
Refer to the set...

Unfortunately HAAS does not yet provide solid models for simulation to customers. However, it is good that you asked HAAS. They need to hear this from all their customers so that they realize how...
Have you contacted your Edgecam salesperson about training? Training is a great investment, and will really help you get going.
Save the old speed. That is the only way you have to determine if the value is changed.
