Thanks guys, followed advice as suggested, not using the internal line to thread conversion, instead using the thread draw option - which got me to where I needed to be. Cheers, Graeme

Hi Keith,
As a fellow user of Quickturn 2d could you kindly look as my post concerning internal thread cutting - i'd love to hear your views.
Regards, Graeme

Hi Martin, Just spent more time trying various configurations of tooling and drawing - feeling a little exasperated; could you kindly confirm that you have successfully created in internal thread using Quickturn 2d yourself eg with the 'line to thread conversion' option. If this is the case could yo...

Hi, Went back to drawing program and tried changing to left hand internal thread tool but the icon option still does not appear highlighted for selection. Grateful for any further thoughts!

Thanks, Graeme

Re: QuickTurn 2D Design Hi and Help, Struggling to create an internal thread (external no problem) - the thread creation icon options disappear when selecting internal lines to 'convert to thread' or draw thread. Is this a known program bug/limitation or could you kindly point me in the right direct...

Hi, I'm having a problem with my machine which had been getting steadily worse over the last month or so; it now stops after the first G00 instruction, everytime, which means that the machine can't be used in audio mode. However, it works fine in manual mode. Hope you can help! Thanks, Graeme.

Hi, I've been through the process of reinstalling software but I'm still having a problem with my 270pro stopping mid cycle; sometimes at the start of an instruction occasionally mid instruction eg z or x axis movement. It also doesn't always locate tool one when changing tools on the turret; this a...

Hi, Ok; got there - in the end! The problem was solved by checking the installation program was run as administrator, as you advised. Thanks for your time, Graeme.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I'll have another look tomorrow.

Hi, Could someone assist with installing vr turning from denford download on to a windows 8 computer? Steps taken so far * Changed 'disabled USB' setting(defualt) to 'enbabled' * Downloaded latest zip file vrturningv1_33 to the default folder 'Downloads' on my computer hard drive ( windows 8.) * Hig...

Sorry for delayed response, change of priorities. Coming back to this problem, I've decided to start from the download procedure; I created a new post yesterday with the detailed steps I've taken

Have downloaded on windows 7 with no problems before; when using windows 8, installation looks for some files which are in the correct locations but says it can't find them. Anyone any thoughts?

Thanks

Has anyone a solution to turning off the vacum pad? When the programme has finished I press the green lit button to deactivate the pad but there is no response; instead, the two methods that turn the pad off involve having to rehome all axis or use the emergancy off button; methods that i'm not comf...

Great, problem solved then!

Many thanks, Graeme

Thanks Martin, Steve and Admin, Well, the correct machine was selected but by changing the Tool Post, Auto changer option from 1 to 6, as suggested, the turret responded to manual and programme commands. Can I just check that the, tool changer, machanism is performing correctly as the following occu...

Hi Bradders,
I opened the machine settings option using `denny` and it showed the 270pro option auto expanded then 'tool change' showed 1,8,8. Although i uninstalled previous version of vr turn before reinstslling i dont recall specifically selecting the pro.

Cheers, graeme

Hi, Sorry for what is probably a basic question, but could you kindly bullet point the stages required to transfer the code from a planned and saved bitmap image within quickcampro to vr milling program? I'm either expecting the imposible or missing the obviouse.

Many thanks, Graeme

Hi Bradders, Just had my 270 upgraded to 270Pro and am experiemncing similar problem as before eg tool changer not responding when requested. This time i have checked as you previously suggested, that the tool changer is set to 1,8,8. Perhaps if you could kindly suggest anything else, i'd be greatfu...

Wow! Spot on advice, it worked like a dream. Thanks, Graeme
