I'm guessing you want the actual file output to display the block numbers this way, not just NC Editor? If that's the case, then you need to modify your post processor in CAMWorks to display the...
This is probably the best place to start.
Digging into the UPG...
Again, this is not a simple task. Modifying the post involves several interconnected files to be modified carefully. Doing...
Are the operations actually combined in CAMWorks (one operation in the tree) or are they simply lined up one after another? If they are truly combined, then you have two options. The easiest is to go...
Ahh, I see the problem. You're inserting operations, not features. CAMWorks (Solidworks CAM) has three different tabs within Solidworks that you can work within. The feature tree, the operation tree...
Hmm, you should always have engrave as an option under any 2.5 axis feature insertion. I use CAMBAM stick fonts quite often for this type of application. They have a decent number of fonts and they...
If its the "5536" text, I would use an engrave feature and that sketch should show up, unless there is something wrong with it like an overlapping line or something. Let me know if it doesn't work...
Its pretty quick if you do it right.
When adding the boss feature, just select the top of every letter segment at the same time and create them all at once.
After generating all of the...
If it were me, I would program each letter segment as a boss with a fine or finish strategy. Generate all of those features once you have them all added, get the first one the way you want it (feeds,...
What kind of operation are you using to do the final cleanup? Any chance you can attach the file in question, or at least a screenshot including the CAMWorks operation tree? You can PM me if its too...
I am quoting Brian from the CAMWorks forums at camworks.com, so all credit here goes to him. He has helped many people to get post issues straightened out over there.

CAMWorks will not allow you to create a matching coordinate system to what your machine uses. The CAMWorks coordinate system is actually more of a reference for you, the user, than it is for the...
Go into your CAMWorks settings and go to the "Simulation" tab. There are options for "Tool Mode" and "Comparison". Move the slider to the right to improve both the display while running the...
That is a fairly complicated machine and a difficult post processor to build. Even if someone here had one, it is unlikely that they would part with it for free. Your best bet, if no one here chimes...
You should start a new topic rather than reviving an old solved one. People will not know to look here for this solution...
Read these posts for a better understanding of inverse time feed. It is...
Hmm, can you post the code that CAMWorks spit out? I'm guessing this has something to do with your cutter compensation offsets in CAMWorks, but that will usually result in concentric circles. If you...
I'm still not sure that I've captured what you're looking for. I have SolidWorks CAM standard so I can't see your assembly toolpaths. I've attached a quick example of some things you might try to get...
Its a little tough to see what you're trying to do. More than likely, you'll want to try playing with the stepover value and also the air segment offset on the "feature options" tab. This is all...
Never worked on a post for a multi-turret lathe before. I'm thinking this must be handled in the machine settings more so than the post itself, although the post must support it. If I get a few...
Any post that contains variables or sections that are not recognized by UPG will not open in it. In cases when this happens, simply use ECEdit to make the changes you want and use UPG to compile the...
You're probably well beyond this point by now. Sorry for the underwhelming response here. CAMWorks seems to be more and more of a niche product despite it being adopted by Solidworks themselves. I'm...
Contact your machine seller and explain that you never got them. They should be able to supply you with the proper disks for your machine. Even if they charge a fee for it, it is going to be better...
We are having some trouble with our OKUMA Cadet Mate with OSP700M control.
For a long time the tool changer has been making a considerable clunking noise when the carousel advances. We're not...
I always have to run from the middle of the program. We are a job shop that makes short to medium run parts so we are constantly making changes, changing tools mid-run, etc. I like that idea, but I...
We have 9 FANUC based machines including Robodrills and Feeler mills. The Robodrills are all 18i or 31i controllers and the Feelers are all 0i-M controllers except ONE of them, which is an 18i-MB....
That makes sense when I am actively machining and WANT the tool to be slightly longer or shorter, but the wear offset doesn't reflect the physical length of the tool from gage-line. It represents the...
Hey everyone,
We have a number of machines in our shop that use the Renishaw OTS touch setter probe for setting tool length offsets. Up until I started, they were never used for in-cycle broken...
ok, I might be confusing myself a bit. It has been awhile since I worked on this machine. I think I need a better description of the y-axis zero offsets. There are two columns (YI , YS) and two rows...
I completely understand what you're saying, and I have used this technique to align turret angles in VDI machines (to some extent). When I set the y-axis turning position, I first ensure that the...
I typically use a coaxial indicator to quickly align tool holders in the lathe. If I need to be more precise I'll use a .00005" indicator on a swivel shank. I like to indicate the tool holders, since...
I'm working on an OKUMA LB3000EX-MY. We had a tech come up a couple months ago because our turret had sustained enough small impacts over the last 5 years that the y-axis casting actually moved out...
