Hi,
I am trying to come up with some code. When I verify my file, my drill hole function is showing, when I run it through preditor (I have used two different posts) the drill holes are not showing on model. I have not ran the code on my machine yet. Any help is appreciated.

Not sure that I uploaded the file correctly.

The toolpath generates correctly, but the code is not correct for my machine.

I have found that Predator does not show the correct backplot if any of the work is in a 'negative' quadrant.

Try moving the full design into the top right quadrant where all X and Y (and also make Z) are positive values.

i looked at your file and
you have system tool set for the drill feature
and manual tools for all other features
try putting the drill in manual and see what happens
sometimes manual & system do not work well together
choose one or the other

I would post your nc file and the machine post for people to look at.If its not posting the header, It will not back plot in predator.There could also be problems in the r post the predator uses to back plot.


Does your post add a predator header like this?
%
O7891
(BEGIN PREDATOR NC HEADER)
(MACH_FILE=3AXVMILL.MCH)
( MTOOL T1 S1 D1. H5. A0. C0. DIAM_OFFSET 1 = .5)

(END PREDATOR NC HEADER)

so is the whole supposed to be a through hole or is it meant to be a blind hole?
