I am using Mill X6 MU2 and 2D High Speed(2D Dynamic Area Mill) for a pocket.

Problem - the helix entry is posting out in linear x y z movements. How can I get the post to output in IJK's

I have my parameter set to post in R values because my machine will not work too well with IJK's, but in my past posts it would post helix entries in IJK's which is no problem If I am just using it for helix entries.

Thanks

On the entry motion page of Pocket parameters, make sure "Output arc moves" is checked

if that  doesn't fix it, go the arc page of the Control Def and be sure

"No helix allowed" is unchecked
