[J S Machine]

I have a situation I'm trying to resolve. I have an old Hitachi wire EDM machine which has a fanuc control and it has been programmed with 8.1 for years. I have recently learned and use X2, and I am going to have to start programming from X2 to this particular machine.

I can do everything in X2 that I can do in 8, same sequence, same everything, but when I post the code it comes out totally different between the two versions.

This is a simple 1" x 1" part with a .5" hole in it.

Version 8.1 code:

O100
N100 G90 G95
N102 G92 X0. Y0.
N104 G00 X3.99235 Y1.72491
N106 / M00 (THREAD WIRE)
N108 G92 X3.99235 Y1.72491
N110 G01 G41 X4.24235
N112 G03 X4.23989 Y1.68991 I-.25 J-0.
N114 M00
N116 G50 X4.24235 Y1.72491 I-.24754 J.035
N118 G01 G40 X3.99235
N120 / M00 (CUT WIRE)
N122 M30

Version X2 code:

O1 N100 G90 G95 N100 G92 X0. Y0. N100 G00 X0. Y0.
N110 M82
N120 M81
N130 M60
N140 G92 X0. Y0. N140 G01 G41 X.25
N150 G03 X.24754 Y-.035 I-.25 J0.
N160 M00
N170 G50 X.25 Y0. I-.24754 J.035
N180 G01 G40 X0.
N190 M50
N200 M21
N210 M42
N220 M41
N230 M30

I updated the post through X2 and I am in that post when I draw my geometry.

Any help would be appreciated.

The X series of mastercam has control definitions and machine definitions that you can adjust to alter the way you post code. I would bet it has something to do with a control definition. I see from your line numbers, you used to have even number N numbers, you can set that in your control definition to be whatever you want, starting number, increment number max etc...

Does the current code work on your machine?
