Need help with Mastercam to Vericut

DC Gorn · 2009-03-10 16:30:51

I was away for a couple years. I am trying to get my New PC working right. I am using Mastercam X3 and Vericut 6.2.

I downloaded the X3.zip file and put the 3 files in the c-hooks dir and on the Mcam base dir. I installed the visual C++ from Cgtech web page. I got the Bat file out of the Cgtech Dir and modified it with my current mc install path. I get the following error when I try to run the Vericut.dll from mastercams C-hooks.

Any ideas what I am missing?

I used to get help here within 24 hours of a post. What happened? I guess I will call my reseller.

It seems like you did everything right. Contact CGTech Technical Support, and they'll work with you directly.

Did you ever resolve the issue? I am getting the EXACT same thing and would appreciate any help or direction. THANKS

Make sure you have the dll in the C-hook directory, and that you have defined the environment variables as defined in the installation instruction.

What version of Mastercam and VERICUT are you using?

There was a problem with the interface files distributed with 6.2.1. Please refer to the following forum post:

I am on X3MU1 and x4MU1. The x4 works fine, the x3 however when I try to run vericut.dll, mastercam just shuts straight down. No luck. Any more insight? I am on vericut 6.2 I am having some serious trouble setting up a vertical trunion too. When it goes to do a toolchange or any g28 ref. return moves, it goes to machine Z0. I have only been running vericut for like 2 days now though and need some serious help! LOL Serge, you seem like a pretty good resource on the forums and on vericut. Maybe you can help get me up to speed?

If you followed the instructions from the above post on the Mastercam interface and still have some problems, I would recommend that you contact the tech support group, they can get you up-and-running faster than the forum. support@cgtech.com

For your tool change and G28 positions:

Go to Configuration > Machine Settings...
Tables tab
Add/Modify
Table Name = Initial Machine Location
Values = 0 0 20 (enter a value above the table where the machine would retract)
Add
--- This will be the position of the machine when the program starts
Without closing the window
Table Name = Tool Change Location
Add
--- This will add another table for the tool change location with the same value
Without closing the window
Table Name = Machine Reference Location
Add
--- This will define the location for the G28 reference point
close the window
Ok
Configuration > Machine > Save as...
