Xform rotate issue with lathe

[bd41612]

Hi guys,

      I have a problem reading parameter #15436 in lathe.  My control definition is checked "Transform and source parameters", under transform operation options.  I have no problem reading any other 15000 parameters (15042,15103,15108,15145,15240,15346,15351,15387).  Even when doing a parameter dump, 15436 doesn't even show up.  Can anyone enlighten me?

 

Thanks

You might want to just lay out what it is you are trying to accomplish, it might be easier to start there than chasing a parameter number

Error proofing.  Had a part that we were using stock flip and transform rotate on for face pocketing using G112.  When posting, it put 4 pockets in the same place.  I found a fix, to change the setting "method" in the transform operation parameters to coordinate from geometry.  But that caused an error that attempts to unselect the transform operations.  Clicking on "no" was the work around.  Upon further examination of the file, I found the programmer had the rotation type set to c-axis, I switched it to no rotation, and now we get good code, without the error.  So what I want to do is build an error check to see if the operations are configured properly.  Specifically looking at the transform method (15436), and the rotation type (15351) of the transformed operations.
