It's WORKING!! And all I had to do was change the "Flute Length" in the Tool in Edit Process Step from 32000.00 to lets say 1.0
The 32000.00 is a dimension put in by SmartCAM Job_Plan when there is nothing entered for the Tool Length field. Now maybe I'll try and make a mcl file to automatically change all 32000.00 tool lengths to 1.0 Anyway thanks a bunch for all whom took time to reply! -----Original Message----- From: Lauzus, Frederick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 10:54 AM To: Michael Senack; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] Show Cut help There is probably a missing tool dimension in the old Job Plan. Make sure you have a proper tool length, diameter, corner radius (if applicable), side angle (if applicable) and tip angle (if applicable). Does anything similar happen when you do a Show Path? ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Michael Senack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 8:21 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Show Cut help When I read in a milling .sh2 file in from SmartCAM V4.5 into Production Mill V11.5 and do a show cut I get the following error... Error: 2854 : Bad tool information. Simulation halted. When I click the OK button Dr. Watson appears and Production Mill closes down. I've tried the following... I edit each tool, and put in a .sh3 file for the cutter graphic. I save the file as a .pm4 and load it in and try show cut The Show Path works fine. Any ideas as to how to fix this?
