Everytime I go to post my programs to my cnc the last line, and my M30 is missing. I cant find out what is going on. I use to send my programs to Predator 2009 and than to my CNC's from there and it worked fine. I just ugraded ti Gibbscam 2011.

Upgrades can do that. Report it to your vendor.

So it might not me anything that I'm doing wrong than?

[skeeter21]

also is there anything I can try and look at so I can get up and running until morning? I've also tried putting an M00 in and it still wont send that. Thanks for the help!!

Yeah. Uninstall the update. Go back to the older version. Then get your money back. Why did you update anyway? Did the newer version have some actual improvement or feature you needed?

I needed 2 more seats so I went from gibbs 2009 to gibbs 2011

Ok. And right now what is your money getting you? Frustration? Production delays? Wonder if your vendor will reimburse you for that?

there are a number of improvements from Gibbs 2009 to Gibbs 2011 that make the upgrade worth it. Especially if you use Gibbs a lot.

I've been using 2009 on the old computer to get by for now It will load programs that use the live tooling just fine so I'm thinking its something I'm doing

Interesting.

Is the last line and the M30 missing from the NCF file, or does it not make it to your machine controller?

[skeeter21]

It's in the programs on the computer and when I process the file I check and everything is there but when I post the program its just not making it into the machine controler. It's doing it on all 4 machines

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I read in your post you don't have posting issues in GibbsCAM, instead you have communication problems with Predator.

It sounds more to me like Predator is stripping the last line or two when you upload to the controller, or it stops there and doesn't finish. You need to check your communication settings in Predator, at the controller, or both.

Also check your programs to make sure you aren't changing anything when you open them in Predator.

Don't uninstall and go back to your earlier version of Gibbs.

Do you have the trailing % after m30?
