Hi,

I just started working with a MultiCam 5000 table.

At work thay only use it for 2D jobb's. So they only have the Enroute 2D software.

In my private shop, I use RhinoCAM 1, and Rhino 4, When I post a 3d(3 axis) relief to a .cnc file and open it in the MultiCAM controller,
I see only a small dot/pixel on the hand controller display.

When I open the CNC file in the "Jobb editor" nothing is displayed, I even tried to cut and paste the initial g-codes from G90 etc. from a 2d .cnc file that was produced by Enroute.
Stil it would not display annything in the jobb editor.

In RhinoCam I use the MultiCam post. RhinoCam support says, there is nothing wrong with the MulitCam post, only that I may have to change to positive tooldown. (tool down = +1)

I did not dare to test it yet.

Does anybody know anything about what could be causing the empty display?


Thanx for the help!

Have you tried to set surface in the air and do a dry run.

I havent yet.
I really wanted that job, so i dont want to take any chanses yet. With my own 3 axis table, I have experienced the tool going right through the table ones.

I am in a dialog with RhinoCAM support, and when I changed the MultiCam-post in RhinoCAM to to Metric, i magaged to get visual resoults in MultiCam's "Job Editor" software.
I might dare to trie a test run with that file.

In order to make the RhinoCAM's MultiCam-post to work properly i then got these instructions from RhinoCAM support:

"Thanks for the update. You can edit the post processor & make the following changes to your Multicam post.

General tab : Change Metric code from G71 to G70

Start/end tab make the following changes.
Add G75 by inserting a line above M12

Program End code

Insert G98 P147 D1 after M22.

Save the post processor & post the code."

I am not shure If "G98 P147 D1" should be wrtitten separate lines, or on the same line.
In separate lines I suppose, Il trie to do that, and/or ask them how spesificaly to do it..
