Hello all. I'm a little new to some of the CNC world. I've been learning some of the basic G code language by brute force as i'm used to getting code via mastercam, camworks, etc. Anyway, here is my situation:
I'm running Mach 3 on a retro fitted Boss. I have Mastercam X and Mach 3 post. I've been messing with things and trouble shooting a while and i have my offset issue narrowed down for the most part, as in whats not happening. The code is not adding a G43 H# (# = tool number). As i understand it and after a bunch of digging around, this will setup the tool offset after a tool change. I added the G43 H# line after each tool change and it appears to be working with that.
The Question: How can i get this to happen via mastercam and not have to add it to any program i post??
There is also an issue where the post doesn't seem to be putting a carriage return after some of note lines at the beginning of the code (details for tool and some of the extents). Can this be updated to function as well?
I think i have the other options pretty well figured out.... Thanks!
