I just got mastercam put on my Cincinnati milacron (arrow 1000) and I don't know what machine setting to use for the machine. I tried a couple different ones but the G21 comes up and my machine doesn't recognize it. If anyone knows what to set it to please tell me.
No, its hook through a network. sorry I didn't specify. using the software to run the machine is just a bit diffrent. I have been manually programing for about 5 months on this machine.
to remove the g21 requires a post mod or different post. if the rest of the code is good modifying that post would be the best move. i would be happy to mod this for you if you would like to send it to me.

So, I think what you mean is that you are using MasterCAM software to output G-code for your Cincinnati Milacron Arrow 1000. The G-code that is currently being output has a G21 in it that is causing an error when you attempt to run it on your machine.
What Machine Definition and Control Definition are you using? What post-processor are you using? Have you tried changing the post-processor used to see if you get different results?

Thanks for the help. I went to an old version of mastercam and had to import the control file and pst file for the machine. I got it working with the correct g code . thanks again
I'm sure i will have other troubles working out the bugs.
