Have you contacted your dealer yet?? You can also try the EMastercam Forum.

This is in the post processor configuration settings. These I believe have to be edited in the Mastercam Editor (not notepad as I have been informed by a friend).

I have no clue on how to edit a post which is why I suggest that you ask your dealer. They should be able to assist you by either editing it for you (I have heard some charge for this) or walk you through it.

Of coarse cadcam will probably be along soon to help because I am still pretty useless, LOL.

Try the Emastercam forum and just give them your SIM # (in your signature). They will be glad to help in anyway they can. There is an excellent group over there as well as here. LOL, all the Guru's that are normally here aren't here tonight as it would seem.

I hope this at least helps a little

Uncheck the "ref pt." on the "tool parameters" screen. or change the x10, y10 z10 to x0,y0,z0 in the "ref pt". It is probably set to the 10" dim.

Uh... That's not a good idea. Everybody is welcomed over there unless they go start aggravating other members. Only then is the aggravating party challenged with a request to prove they are a licensed user.

Try this:

Start a new file, Settings, Machine Def Manager.

At the top of the Mach Def Manager window there is an icon for "edit axis combinations", select this.

Then in the "machine axis combinations" window, press the "home position" button. I imagine if you make the change here and save the machine definition you should hopefully get the code you want.

Hope this helps.

Did you try clicking the 'Home Position" button on the toolpath parameters page and changing the value????

[cadcam]

Matt is right please do not post you sim # at any time on the net.

Cob , so your machine only supports using G92 config. have you checked if it will support G54 offsets?

COb , it is picture time again. please review.
