Remember, all X4 or X4 MU1 third-party add-ons or CHooks need to be rebuilt with the Mastercam X4 MU2 SDK. This must be installed on top of Mastercam X4 or X4 MU1. All of the translators have also been updated to the 2010 versions. I imagine your post for that machine "knows" it can't control Z so it is "asking / telling" you to say ok (by pressing cycle start) you know where Z is. Mastercam X4 MU2 is a cumulative installation that contains all of the bug fixes in X4 MU1 and more. Could you explain further, please?Well now that is something useful for us. This machine doesn't have a programmable Z-axis. I want it to rapid to the next one without asking for a Z move or a Z check. I think what I'm asking for is a way to change the post so that it doesn't add Z moves after contours. I understand that ordinarily, this would be risky, but if the geometry is standing in space, that's fine. I want it to stay at Z depth, but rapid to the next chained contour. Thing is, it does that after chained contours also. That's what our current post does: it pauses at Z moves and says "Check Z" (retract out of the hole/pocket), then Cycle Start, then "Set Z" (drill the hole/set depth/etc).

We use MasterCam 8 and yes you can get the times by running the Backplot but the times are very erratic. I wrote a post for my 2axis Prototrak (SMX)where it would pause at a Z move and the control would pause and promt saying "set Z-2" (or whatever) and then pause and say "check Z" for the retract. and many more programs are available for instant and free download.

Does that make sense? Is there a parameter or checkbox I'm missing? Download mastercam x5 64 bit zip for free. I select all 8 chains, but I need to hit Cycle Start after each chain. I've got 8 standing bosses that I need to go around. Is there a way to program rapid moves from one chain to another in Mastercam? Say I've got the quill at a certain depth, and I know I won't hit anything. I have Mastercam X5 and a Sharp mill with Prototrak MX2 retrofit here at work.
