Discovered that this is due to too many plot styles in the list. I went through and culled them back to about 10 and the problem is solved! Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch, first you must create the universe!

Hi All, I am using Autocad 2006 LT on win XP and when I change the pen assignment in the plot dialog box the selection moves down 2 entries in the list from what I pick. Anyone come across this before? Thanks in Advance Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch...

Hey, Just wondering if anyone knows how to create a dashed line that has solid edge on either side? Kinda like the following... --------------------------------- === ==== ==== --------------------------------- I need to use them to indicate pipelines. Thanks in Advance Cheers Steve...

The other thing to check is that the colour you use for the wipeout is set to white and set to plot as colour in the plot style you are using. I found this happened when white was set to black in the plot style table (stylesmanager from commandline). Hope that helps Cheers Steve Griffiths :-)...

Thanks Guys, I ended up doing a test using an xref and changing the layer properties in the child drawing. This gave me different lineweight without modifying the parent file. Viewport layer manager changed the model space details so I couldn't get the 2 different lineweights. Once again...

Does anyone know if it is possible to plot a layer as 2 different lineweights in seperate viewports (eg. Layer A plots lineweight 0.25 in view 1 & plots lineweight 1 in view 2)??? Or do I need to do something else??? Can you use different lineweights for an xref? Thanks in Advance Cheers...

Thanks for the replies, I did reduce the number of profiles in the sketch (and turned off associative in sketch pattern), then patterned features. However I still needed to do about 100 profiles that changed slightly around curves. Which I had to pick individually... Anyone know if there is a...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows, is it possible to get the extrude command to use all profiles in a sketch??? I have about 500 profiles that have been arrayed around a surface that I want to extrude... Or do you need to array the feature instead??? Thanks in Advance Cheers Steve...

Thanks for the thought moudy1, Got me on the right track - was actually due to B & C axis being switch around, B as 5, C as 4 instead of B as 4, C as 5 as it should be. Also had dual head instead of Head table setup, not sure if this affects anything but fixed it too and now I don't get the...

Hi All, Does anyone know why I would be getting a catch warning with WARNING: unable to determine valid rotary position after start of path event? I have some face milling and drill cycles on 4 faces sloped at 60 degrees around a rectangle. The face milling outputs fine even with the error...

Any ideas on how to manage the M140 MB MAX? Thanks in advance Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch, first you must create the universe!

Hi All, I have a post with vnc for a Heidenhain TNC 530 which doesn't simulate the M140 MB command (move back along tool axis). Does anyone know how to add this into the vnc controller. I have done a bit on the post side but nothing with the vnc. Thanks in Advance Cheers Steve Griffiths :-)...

Have a look at the variables mom_csys_origin (LCS coord relative to MCS) see if this is want you are after... Other variables that may be what you want are mom_machine_csys_matrix(9) mom_machine_csys_matrix(10) mom_machine_csys_matrix(11) (MCS coord relative to WCS) Hope that helps Cheers...

Hi Berri2 Which coords do you want, MCS relative to what? MCS relative to LCS, MSC relative to WCS? LCS relative to MCS? Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch, first you must create the universe!

Hi i0wa Try using this code [format "%+.3f" $mom_pos(1)] Change $mom_pos(1) to whatever is needed This should output +0.0 and always put a + or - sign as required The .3f fixes to 3 decimal places Hope that helps Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch, first...

I got it working by putting output into machine control stop command prior to output of stop. Am also going to look at putting it into the rapid move to see if that works. Thanks for your help shags72 Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch, first you must...

What do you mean by protect? Are you talking about preventing changes or backing up to be able to recover? Are you talking about shop docs or post processor? Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch, first you must create the universe!

Hi Shags72 Will have to wait till Tuesday when I am back to work. Cheers Steve Griffiths :-) If you want to make apple pie from scratch, first you must create the universe!

Hi shags72, I have tried outputting in the proc using MOM_output_literal and also tried outputting using a custom address set to the global variable. I have tried running the proc in start of sequence and outputting in end of path but the global variable is undefined. Any idea where the M0...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows where the order of things are set for opstop & stop commmands in the end of tool paths? I have a custom command which is run in the End of Path section of Operation End Sequence - it gets parameters from a UDE and doesn't work in other End of Seq...
