i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

You're very welcome!

Thank you!

We will be posting that video soon and will add the link once the video is posted.

Yes, the post that does DWO (G254) also supports TCPC (G234). We will have a video coming soon where we cover TCPC in combination with our Deburr toolpath. Stay tuned!

Hi PipeLeisure we will need some more information to assist you. If you are not a maintenance customer you will not have access to these files. You can work with your local Reseller on it or contact our support team at Support@mastercam.com

Hi Ruben! Your local Reseller would be happy to help you with this. You can get in touch with them directly by filling out this form: www.mastercam.com/find-a-reseller/

The G codes are different for a Fanuc or other controls but the functionality and principle is exactly the same.

For Fanuc is a paid option. In the post it'll be G54.2. Online you can find macros that will do it for you onboard the machine, without dynamic offsets. Good thing using macros, is that you can shift the work if needed. And usually it needs to. You will also have real values on Z axis. Same for any control, not only Fanuc

We have a future one coming on Arc filter and tolerance. Stay Tune!

Hi Mark! DWO allows you to create planes on any feature that needs to be cut at any vector without regard for where the center of rotation of the rotaries are. That has already been figured out and stored by the tech that set up your machine. Keep in mind that this is typically a purchased option for most machine tools, so make sure that you have it enabled on your machine. Its a far simpler method than the old way of having to model your part in Mastercam so that the offset in Mastercam and the Machine matched the physical center of rotation of the machine. Now just pick up your part however you see fit with the corresponding offset, G57 will work if that is what you prefer but since you will only need one offset I tend to just stick to G54. In this case we grabbed the top center of the Lang fixture plate. The machine internally does a calculation from its center of rotation (stored in the system variables) to find the proper angle and XYZ coordinates needed to cut the feature at a new Mastercam plane shown by that side feature, remember the XYZ origin of this new plane is unimportant. The only thing the post processor needs is the Z vector of this index. As the video shows, this also allows you to run the same program at any location on the machines table. As long as the Machine offset is set at the new location the machine will automatically comp and calculate the new angles and XYZ positions with the exact same G code, no changes to the XYZ or BC in the program. It's a very powerful, flexible option and much simpler than doing this the old way with Center of rotation programming.

@@mastercam wow you're super nice to feedback like this thank you. But I am just about to jump in 5th axis seeing many your clips wishing too much to become a such programer like this but don't know where and what books to learn. Please help me. Thanks

We recommend checking out our courses on Mastercam University. We have free and paid courses that you can access 24/7 and we recently launched a multiaxis course. You can login or create an account to check out the course here: university.mastercam.com/course/view.php?id=87

@@mastercam does the G68.2 and G53.1 together not do exactly the same job ? What is the difference ? I can’t understand. G68.2 with G53.1 does the same as when G54 is in different place it calculates a new position of G68.2 in relation to machine rotation centre so when the fixture moves as it’s mounted in different place you set a new G54 and job done. Is this right?

We'll share this with our applications team!

why should they be "not real"? The machine knows the center of rotation point and the work zero. It can accurately calculate the shifted work zero.

@@ipadize I think what he is saying is that the machine is never perfectly exact to what it was when the tech guy originally installed the machine or what it's designed to be. The temperature of the machine and room the machine is in affects it. If it's been bumped or crashed it will effect it and you'll be off location in some planes and it's almost impossible to know exactly why. If it's off enough for a super critical part you could spend hours, days, or even weeks pulling your hair out trying to comp for the error. In the real world he's saying you will just end up creating a new plane and a new offset for the troubled plane. In other words it's the old way that is what will save your ass. Except now you have wasted a bunch of time trying something new. The moral of this story is don't crash your machines, make perfect fixtures that are square and perpendicular to the spindle and table. Oh and you gotta spend millions of dollars to keep your shop at 68 degrees plus or minus half a degree too. There are so many variables affecting it that in most cases if you're holding tight true positions everything better be perfect. Or just make offset for each plane. Done!
