>From page 106 of the SmartCAM Customization Guide: GROUP ARCS
ARC_GRP[AR=##, FA=##, NR=##, XR=##] AR= Add/Remove Value: 0 = Add, 1 = Remove Default: None FA= Full arc Value: 0 = All arcs, 1 = Full arcs only, 2 = Partial arcs only Default: 0 NR= Minimum radius Default: All arcs less than XR XR= Maximum radius Default: all arcs greater than NR Also check questions 91 and 99 in your SMF file. 91. Maximum deviation from true arc Explanation: When interpolating an arc with line commands, enter the maximum allowable amount of deviation the line segments can be from the actual arc. The smaller the increment, the longer the program and the smoother the arc. Related Settings: This applies if question 90 is set to <0> or if question 99 applies. 99. Maximum programmable arc radius Explanation: Enter the maximum size of arc radius your machine accepts. A setting of 0 indicates that any arc-radius size is permissible. A setting of 50.0 indicates that all arc radii less than 50.0 use the arc command. Any larger radii are interpolated into line segments. Related Settings: See question 91. ================================================== Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.highsteel.com <http://www.highsteel.com/> ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: Steve Buck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 10:14 AM To: SmartCam user Group Subject: [mfg-smartcam] arc size variable search Is there a way to search for an arc size larger than xx? We have 2 machines that have 2 different arc size limitations. Once in a while we get files with arcs to large for the machine. It would be great to have a macro to search for arcs {greater than}.
