Edgecam does not have plans on going to a subscription plan. They do offer it on the essential licenses, turning and milling but nothing else. As far as I have heard, there are no plans to move away...

I imagine that it is the K value. Inside Code Wizard, NC Style, G-Code and Modality > Circular Interpolation > and check Suppress Pitch in Helical Moves. Rerun the post and it should take care of...

Currently this isn't supported in the threading cycle. Please submit this enhancement request through your reseller.

You will need the 4-axis simultaneous cycle to do what you are needing. This part cannot be programmed using the standard cycle (roughing, profiling, parallel lace) because the tool will always stay...

First off, I would never do an upgrade installation. I know that it recommends to do an upgrade but do a new installation instead and make a version directory, ex: Edgecam 2010 R1, Edgecam 2010 R2......

All you need to do is open the (illustrated above) Code Constructor | Rapid After Toolchange and right click the First Rotary Token and select Force Output Now and this supersedes the modality of the...

they weren't trying to "upsell" you. in edgecam you cannot machine a solid model or a surface with the 4 axis sim. milling. you can machine wireframe geometry in rotary, If oyu have a model to...

As of Edgecam 2009 R1 docking from sub spindle to main is NOT supported. Give your reseller a call and have him put it in as a enhancement request.

wow, that was quite an answer...can you elaborate?

Edgecam, who is now owned by Planit, operates in exactly the same manner as when Pathtrace owned them. They are set-up for all support to go through the reseller. if the reseller is unable to solve...

If you go to Start / Programs / Edgecam / Utilities inside there there is an option for Network Location. You browse to your location and that users are using the code generators, PDI's and...

so who taught you how to drive?

i have used the cycle extensively and it is extremely complex, if you don't want to do training then you will waste countless hours experimenting....it doesn't...

Yes, use the face feature to select what you want to machine. When it asks for the drive geometry this determines what you machine and the tilt of the tool.

For your check surfaces, you can either...

All you have to do is put a value in the retract filed and it will output a G98. If it's left blank then you get a G99

if you have a 4-axis post and you are trying to simulate the machining you have to specify the rotaional axis of the stock. To do this go into manufacturing, go to your "Features" window, right click...

contact your local reseller, there are at least 3 different manuals for posts

Allan-
I don't have a Mazak Variaxis post... sorry. Did the Integrex post work for you?

Is this a DynaPath mill? I have a couple working ones that use their conversational language. However, they are for the VMC840 and VMC1260.

Do you want them?

Also, a shareware that has this PCI and many other very useful items cam be downloaded from the Yahoo EdgeCAM group. The files needed are utils.exe and Shareware 8.0.exe. It will install it to your...

EdgeCAM works perfectly with Solidworks. EC loads in the native file and can machine the solid itself or features that comes from the model.

From what I have heard and seen in other shops, EC is...

What are the machine specs of the mori and daewoo? 2 axis with CYB? Or is there going to be 2 turrets and sub-spindle? I have some Mori's that are partially proved out.... no 5 axis simultaneous but...

I'm not sure what you are referring to but if you upload a file or email it to me I can take a look at it. You should be able to contain toolpath even though a feature isn't found

None of those file types are solids. The closest that comes to it is IGES and it is simply surfaces and therefore contains no intelligence like hole/pocket/face features.

However, depending on...

Do you have the new 4 axis rotary cyle? If so, what do you think about it? I like it, but find that there is quite a learning curve with it. This is the one area that I always start off with the...

In your Feature window on your stock feature, Right click the Stock and select which axis to rotate around. This should do the trick.

All of those PDF's are on the EdgeCAM cd, in a folder called "User Guide PDFs"

it could be a good option, like something set in the preferences section. even better would be something that operations did as a default, since operations are about ease of use.most of the...

EdgeCAM can program that machine with no trouble, I have made posts for similiar Sub-spindle mazaks, I think the model was a Integrex 400 ST. It had sub spindle and upper and lower turrets. Only live...

i haven/t tried it yet but there is a renumbering pdi on the edgecam website. looks fairly simple and it seems to do what you were asking for. i will upload it here to save you some time

I did a little bit of tweaking to the post that I sent the other day and it's there except for a couple of M codes. They can easily be added wherever they are needed. Once again, Code Wizard can you...
