Master Cam x6 . need help

Hello,

I am having problem with the programs which are made in master cam x6 for wire machine. I was wondering if is possible to make programs on two decimals instead of four. If is possible, what I need to change. I am asking because I could not find it in the program. I could find but it is only related to drawing.

Could someone tell me how to do it, please it is urgent. I am using wire machine - default settings.

I suppose I need to change some values in MPWFANUC.pst part of code where word decimal is mentioned

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Format statements - n=nonmodal, l=leading, t=trailing, i=inc, d=delta
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Format statements
fs2 1 0.7 0.6 #Decimal, absolute, 7 place, default for initialize (:)
fs2 2 0.5 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 5/4 place
fs2 3 0.5 0.4d #Decimal, delta, 5/4 place
#Common format statements
fs2 4 1 0 1 0 #Integer, not leading
fs2 5 2 0 2 0l #Integer, force two leading
fs2 6 3 0 3 0l #Integer, force three leading
fs2 7 4 0 4 0l #Integer, force four leading
fs2 9 0.1 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 1 place
fs2 10 0.2 0.2 #Decimal, absolute, 2 place
fs2 11 0.3 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 3 place
fs2 12 0.4 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 4 place
fs2 13 0.5 0.5 #Decimal, absolute, 5 place
fs2 14 0.3 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 3 place
fs2 15 0.2 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place
fs2 16 1 0 1 0n #Integer, forced output
# These formats used for 'Date' & 'Time'
fs2 18 2.2 2.2lt #Decimal, force two leading & two trailing (time2)
fs2 19 2 0 2 0t #Integer, force trailing (hour)
fs2 20 0 2 0 2lt #Integer, force leading & trailing (min)

I have done this before but can not remember exactly how for sure. It might be best to post your question on emastercam.com.

You should find a fmt x and a number. That number then relates to the fs2 data...
Should be as simple as changing the values behind x y and z fmt.

Right area.....NC output Variable Formats

Not that simple,
- you have only mentioned the absolute axes,
- what about the incremental ones, arc centres, radius
- does changing the number of decimals affect the arcs centers in regard to tangency of joining geometry ?

It may be easier to alter the fs2 statements that are linked to the "NC output Variable Formats"

old
fs2 2 0.5 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 5/4 place
fs2 3 0.5 0.4d #Decimal, delta, 5/4 place

new
fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place
fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place
.....now 4 decimal inch, 3 decimal metric for anything that calls up #2 or #3 formatting



What is your problem with the machine ?
- did it run OK using a X5 post ?
