    Surfcam rotary out put to haas mill?

    Hello fellow programmers, im trying to get surfcam 2004 to post the same rotary moves that it makes in
    the predator software. the axis moves seem to have the right numbers its just missing the the - sign.
    would like to use the mpost.

    This should give you a general idea where.

    Attachment 298866

    Make sure your A address is formatted like

    Click image for larger version.  Name: mpost 2.jpg  Views: 0  Size: 1.1 KB  ID: 298868

    It may need to be A ->5.>3

    The numbers just control how many digits can come before and after the decimal.

    Search your C: drive for "MPost Getting Started.doc" and "MPost Format Reference Manual.doc" if you want to know more about it.

    I'd give you the path to them but I'm not sure what it is for a version that old.
