    Default how do i display block (line) numbers in memory on my HAAS VMC?

    sorry to ask such a rookie question but I'm a rookie..I have spent some time looking for the answer and can't find it. I sure didn't want to ask this one but..

    How do I display the block line numbers on my HAAS?
    the NC code has the block numbers but it doesn't show up in Memory during a program run. I had an interrupted run the other day and had to restart quite a bit earlier in the op than I wanted.

    Are you sending programs to your control via RS232? If so, the DNC software may be stripping the block numbers.

    Do the block numbers on your code start with N?

    N0001 G00... etc.

    I am using a jump drive after Mastercam spits it out. The line numbers are there in the .nc code, they just don't show up in the controller. I think it's a setting but I can't find it.

    sigh...

    I figured this out.
    Mastercam does not export with block numbers - at least that I can find in the config settings.
    The MC .nc editor Code Expert shows line numbers but does not export them to the .nc file unless you manually insert them by hitting the "insert block numbers".

    Every day is another adventure in finding out something that sure would have been nice to know earlier.
