When using the NC-2d contouring, be sure to enter the offset amount in the Contour box where you choose the side to compensate. This is best observed in a 3D view such as default.

In both cases after installing the file, and starting a new Vector session, the deskmill selection will appear on the insert machine dialog.ĭepending on how you use the offset when you create the toolpath, clicking on the process on the Jobs list will normally turn the corresponding toolpath a light orange color. cfg file and copy it to the \VECXI\cfg\ folder. cfg file with a licensed copy of Vector, unzip the. cfg file and copy to the Vectdemo folder for the Vector Demo. You will probably want an M30 instead of M02 in the end block, but that can be easily changed. It should be very close to what you need for Mach3. The attached file is the current deskcnc mill post that I have been using. Text files and other commonly available types can be zipped and posted that way. eprt is not a valid file type to post on this forum. I suggest that you start a new thread and be very specific about what version of Vector you are using and what exactly you are trying to accomplish. Mike Reuter, I am really at a loss as to what you are asking. I have a mandrel to grind and I need the centerline to od every 10 degrees. I need to reference the center of a part to program the grinding wheel movements. I have a Glebar CamSX grinder that is used for grinding profiles in wires. When a cnc process is activated ( 2dmil) should the offset tool path show in the view panel or just the original edge at the various Z levels? What post processor are you using?Ĭontact our office by e-mail for all software licensing questions.Īlso. As a further note I see that you have closed the forum for DeskCNC, I can't find my original documentation, is there a particular file in DeskCNC that would show I have a ligitmate license copy? I have been using DeskCNC since 2003 so I know that Mach3 is working on that Gcode OK. Also G40 is showing up where I think it is unecessary but I can't find where to inhibit generation of G40 or G41's. Managed to generate a Gcode set from a simple 2d DXF.The G codes Xnn Ynn Znn Fnn came out as expected but the G series was occasionally corrupted ie instead of Gnn I am getting occasional Gn.nn or G or G.n, these are not interpreted by my target machine (Mach3CNC).

Warning! Rank newbie here! Dumb question to follow. IMService Discussion Forum: Vectorcad Gcode generation
