To all,
I am using my v25 pp with changes gleaned from what is now offered by BC for the Fanuc. (nothing added seems to have anything to do with simulation)
Sadly, I could not isolate the release...

Burr,
When I simulate a tapping op it goes extremely slow just for the tap.
I screwed the pooch on my question...I specify IPM for the tap feed rate.
I have tried many iterations of code output...

Long time no post.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but how do you correct the tapping time error in the Moduleworks simulator?
I output IPR and I suspect the simulator is using...

Having a problem with my old Kitamura VMC DC spindle motor and/or drive.

Machine:

1981 Kitamura Mycenter-2
Fanuc 6MB control
Approx 7 hp DC spindle motor w/ Fanuc 3 spindle drive
Running on...

Thanks. v25

Here's how I did it.
Material started as 4.00” x 4.75” x 7.25” aluminum
Ruf looking surface is +.030" to be finished when installed in main mold.

Looks to me like your rougher isn't even engaging the part.

It works....you just have to give the tool some elbow room.
Put your roughing tool down to 1mm and recompute.

mmoe...your post #89 covers much of what I thought of when hearing about equidistant w/arc fit.
Thanks for doing the legwork.

Have you inspected your code output to make sure there is not a third...

mmoe, Try the arc fit path again but with the Machining and/or Arc tolerance set very fine, like around .000005"

Not saying this will help, but it has helped me when using arc fit in v25.

Al..can you expand on the "Template" feature?
Is this to have a predefined order of features that can be called up in any file?

Multiple part files used to be the SOP for me....but with the new multiple machine setup feature, everything's in one file now.
Just be sure to keep an eye on the Machining Order selection and how...

Al, patterns are completely different animals than injection molded parts... but if I were working with a customer that wanted an injection mold built, on the cheap, it would look like this:...

Giving you a like, but wouldn't split this where you did....

Scripting defaults to metric.
Need to add multipliers, the easiest is as shown.

You can go further with coding and add a step that will detect "mm" in the input and skip the multipliers.

Good to know on the intersecting lines.

Spock,
Assuming you're creating a SW drawing from a solid, what R-level are you saving the dxf to?
I save back to R12 and haven't seen this issue.
Although...I almost exclusively export solids and...

Nice....Didn't know I could push it to 100%

Yes, here ^^^^

Keep tightening up on the Tolerance setting.
I remember using .0001" or even .00005" to address this very problem.
It's going to bloat the code....

No need to mess with Min. Line Length.

Something funky going on with the .4750 rad. locations.

I deleted them and redefined using the Arc > Fillet command with trim selected.

Reselect geometry and recompute and your numbers come out...

Al.....correct me if I'm wrong:

There is no way to see any G-code while simulating.

And thus, the step forward command in simulate doesn't represent "Single Block" but rather just arbitrary...

G99 keeps the tool at the R level while moving from hole to hole.
Usually safer to default to G98 which takes the tool back to initial Z level before moving to next hole. (in your sample code it...

Here are some observations on your code:

Are you saying that the values in the dialog boxes are being changed???

Locktech....focusing on the problem area...your snippet of code tells many things.

First, there is indeed an error with the G3 lines...they will not plot correctly.
N100 seems to be the culprit,...

Nice...but what happened to the resolution on the "chin" ?
