I have recently considered purchasing mastercam 13. I converted the post processor from mastercam 9 in order to try it out. I am using an older hurco hawk m5 cnc mill. I am constantly getting an error when I try downloading cnc code. An example of the problem is here: N51200 X2.0002 Y.1467 N51200 Z-.1 The line number is written twice when the tool is finished one cut and starts another. I have looked for a possible setting that might change this but unfortunately I am not too famliliar with mastercam post processing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  |

| What's is Mastercam 13? Do you mean X3? Looks like someone forgot to put an end of line code in. Probably your V9 just ignored the mistake, but X3 is outputting it "as instructed" in the post. I've seen that problem before in hurco posts. It's probably based on the original MPHurco.pst. Find the section that outputs that line. Is it only at the start of file. Is it only at the toolchange. Is it only before a drilling cycle. That will narrow down the section to look for. In that section it will be missing a " , $e " that's the end of line code. Mike Mattera

| Thanks for the help Matt, I will try the solution you mentioned but I was wondering if you know where I could find a newer version of the hurco post processor? |

| If you can't find the missing e$, post your post ...and one of us will fix it for you. As far as a a newer Hurco post..you will have to contact your Mastercam reseller. Powered by:  |

Since Mike Mattera questioned the name "Mastercam 13", and I can't help myself...  Let's see... Before McamX there was V9, V8, V7, V6, ad nauseam... And the letter "X" is the roman numeral for 10... It is conceiveable that someone could interpret X3 as Mastercam 13. Makes sense to me! Sorry Mike, Just had too.

| The way I see it X3 is version 12.......X is v10......X2 is v11......that makes X3 v12. BTW ... GURU is my aim, not my claim Powered by: |
