Mastercam v 9.1 wire2/17/2023 ![]() if you are in the esprit interface and you right click on any box in the operation windows you can click the "edit properties" and on the top it will tell you the CLfile number for what each box is linking to. ![]() as far as the CLfile stuff goes, you have to view the cutter location file (clfile), extended NC code and all of that for debugging so you can see whether to use nextclfile or currentclfile data and so on and so forth. ![]() the only advice i can really give you is to read the post help and if you go to you can order their instructional videos on post processor creation. Well, I just started working with one of the engineers from DP technology and after he showed me a few things i was off to the races working on my own stuff and modifying posts to my liking. I'll take your advice, and I'll call their home office if I have trouble.Īlso, I got the following piece of advice from that I located in an older post on CNCzone and contacted him asking if he had any advice on learning the post processing format. There's still a lot of work to do however. ![]() If course if I was cutting stuff that thick, I wouldn't be able to remove the slug anyway without jogging the machine over to the side too. The only problem will come when I'm cutting really thick stuff (which won't happen) and the machine Z's up beyond the physical limits of the axis. He simply told us "It's not programmable, and even on more advanced machines, it doesn't work." Needless to say, I managed to figure it out, and it's working well. Then, our local support guy tells us that there's no way for the machine to automatically raise the nozzle after cutting off the slugs so we can remove them, and that we have to manually jog the head up and down. They insist that "everything is fine" and that it's something I'm doing, which is completely BS - Why would the post processor, with all it's big bad if then conditional arguments, be incapable of cutting the wire before rapiding to the next threading point? A day of learning and playing with the post got this problem fixed - but come on! I'm not the only guy that has this problem - can't be!
