BobCAD/CAM V21 and Mach3 Postprocessor

[southernexplore]

I am trying to drill holes with the drill cycles and it will not generate a program. Is anyone else having this problem? It shows the tool path but it does not put the program up. I tried it with another PP and it worked fine.

Help!

Where you are using version 21 (as I see now) you can use the pick and match this will select all radius that are the same

Thanks Lakeside for the help.


I am running V21 and it does not work. Are you using the mach3 PP and I wonder if it is the same as the PP I am using?
I just tried with the points selected nd it still does not writethe code.

I have it working now after downloading the new post. Are you canceling cutter comp and others yourself beforehand and then doing the drill cycle or is Bobcam generating the cancelations?
