I too have used Paul's gadget and then I took info from it and ran it on my 4 axis rotary. I have plans to make a clamp vise on my work bench utilizing a large diameter screw, just for fun. Was unable to attach my video of me spinning the nut down the thread body. That thread body is 3 inch Pitch Di...

Think I solved it. It turns out that it needed the G94, I had a G93 and with this code a F value is required on each G1 line.

What I'm looking to do is in my posted G-Code I need there to be a feed value on each G1 line. What's happening now is the very first G1 line it puts out a feed value but every other G1 line there is no feed value, so in mach3 when Irun a file once it gets to a G1 line without a feed value mach3 jus...

I have an issue with my post I need my post to put out a feed rate on each line and I cannot figure out how to tell post processor to do this. I'm running Mach 3 I'm not sure if there is a setting in mach3 which will enable this to work or not any help on this would be great thanks.

Have considered that, but that defeats the purpose of the function dont you think? Can you explian why it does not work? If this is what needs to be done then so be it, just seems very odd that you need to manually add vectors to accomplish. In my case on this project it is only 20 or so but it woul...

Quick question regarding Leads in and out foir an open vectors. Is this not possible? I have a number of single open vectors that I'm cutting using a Keyway cutter for undercutting and I'm not able to get the leads to activate. it works as expected on closed vectors but I get nada on open ones. Plea...

Thanks Adrain,

I will have a look at this this weekend and see what I can come up with.

Adrian,

Sorry but I'm not familiar with the toolpath notes feature. Could you explain?

According to Vectric support its not possible to add cutter compenstion (G41/G42) to any of their posts. Really makes little sense to me as its a simple code call up, its just needs to be placed before the profile engagement so it seems as though it could be applied during the lead in and out fuctio...

Does anyone know how to add Cutter Comp to a post? I need to be able to contol the diameter of a internal bore at the machine and I want the post to output G41/G42 for cutter comp. Any help would be great thanks!

Agreed and again thank you for all of the info.

Again thanks for the valuable information. I will just have to let him know he is SOL. Didn't mean to piss anyone off with my questions or comments, was just curious.

Thank you all for the feedback. This seems to be a sensitive issue with some..... I was just curious why we are issued 3 licenses or to able to install on 3 systems, and what you all have used them for. I thought most would install at home and shop systems which appears to be the case. I was asked b...

What do you guys and gals do with the extra licenses that came with Aspire. Do you keep them as backups in case of a system crash, or install on home or shop computers, or give to your brother in-law? Just wondering what the rest of you have used them for.

Thank you Tim that was exactly what I was looking for.
