    Post builder Heidenhain code

    The retract_motion_y is your block template title. This forces all words that are in the template. MOM_force_block once retract_motion_y

    Post builder Heidenhain code

    Areyou using MOM_force_block? Try that. Looks like a full circle back to start of x and y.

    Small C segments are being posted out in Millturn Post

    Try the lock axis ude. It did work for things like that but that is an old ude.

    Generic Motion Question

    Can you link the videos? Haven't seen them. I had the post output the Heule cycles with cycle text and feed options and depth of hole. Before that was get one correct in gen mot and instance transform around the part. If you develop the post it makes point selection way easier. This is in drill...

    Middle Mouse Button Functionality

    In my logitech setpoint (don't know if you have that or a logitech mouse but) I can set it to auto scroll or something, can't remember exactly and it won't be used as the rotate. I like it so if i set mine as a generic button i think it will do the rotate. I hated the spaceball too when I got...

    3dconnexion spacenavigator not working on siemens NX

    Button Mapping Editor" and "Device Settings" are grayed out in NX The 3DConnexion Plug-in for NX requires the following System Environment Variables to be set correctly: Rename the global system environment variable from "UGII_3DCONNEXION_LIBRARY" to "UGII_3DCONNEXION_LIBRARY_BAK" Open the...

    3dconnexion spacenavigator not working on siemens NX

    Had that set up but didn't think that started it as admin. Usually have to actually start things by right click and run as admin. At least that is what I thought. Correct me if I am wrong. I could have misunderstood the OP's statement but I thought he meant that he started the driver as admin...

    3dconnexion spacenavigator not working on siemens NX

    This didn't work for me. Stopped the driver and restarted, run as admin and started up TC and NX and neither of the buttons will do any nx command.

    post link issue

    The Main post provides the Start of Program and I believe End of Program as it has to start to actually get the code to the other posts.

    post link issue

    What is the operation type for the operation that you are getting the error on? This will give you an indication on which post the error is in. Also can you get the logfile from nx and post it?

    post link issue

    Okay, well tell me what you have. What is the main post? Where is the ccmd at? Main or linked post and in what event area. What kind of operation is being processed when it fails. Does it fail imediately or does it get to a certain op and then die?mom_sys_add_cutting_time I haven't heard of so I...

    post link issue

    My guess is that your variable is not initialized in the post or not used (set) in that particular operation. Where is mom sys add cutting time a variable you created or one from NX? Linking post is kind of wierd as it jumps back and forth between the main and the linked posts. Can't remember...

    Using through coolant in NX to post into program

    Both of those examples are the same. I would think that the variable would either be 0(false) or 1(true) coming out of NX and that you would have to do something like the following though I wouldn't use that var to drive the code. Use the var that is actually in the coolant M block.. I thought...

    UDE in postbuilder

    I am sorry but was on vacation. In NX 6 and newer you can add ude's inside of postbuilder in the machine control area. That is why I was asking if you were using this feature as it is handled differently than when you do not use that feature. Here is an example of 2 ways to do a ude that I have...

    UDE in postbuilder

    How are you creating your ude's? Using postbuilder interface or editing the cdl? If you are editing the cdl, are you upleveling and globaling the variables to make them available throughout the program? Like John said it is hard to blindly shoot at a problem without seeing some code and know...

    UDE in postbuilder

    Well I will try to answer this. I need to have a "safe tool change" position in my program. This position is different for every program(fixture dependant, tool length dependant, etc..) What I want to do is this; Create a user defined event where I can input an X and Y coord.(one time...

    How would you do this in a server installed TC?

    DMG millturn post-processor

    I believe you need to use the escape character in tcl which is \, so \[ whatever \]

    Probably written in an older version of PB. Open the pui file in a text editor and look at the original version of it.
