Peck drill in backplot

[Programinator]

Did they change something in Backplot for peck drill operations.  It used to show the pecking but not anymore.  I see they did change something for time calculation (R-13804)

Is there an option to turn it back on to show pecking again?

Go into your config, see if this is unchecked/checked

 

I haven't installed Update 2 as yet, so I'm not sure with the issue if it has been disabled for now though

It was checked.  Thanks.  The update must auto check that because i know i didn't have it checked before!

Forgive my ignorance, how were you able to see the list of things they updated in update 2 (Initial screen shot)? I would like to take a peek for myself.

I'm going to jump in on this.  My problem is this, I have the drill pecking but the backplot does not show the drill rapiding back in the hole to the .02 clearance. Therefore it throws the time off in the backplot.  The program posts out good, with the rapid back in to the peck clearance.  So the post isn't the problem.  I just like to use the time on the backplot to give my boss a ball park time.  Any ideas?

This is a known problem in 2020 where we're feeding back in from the retract for each peck, so deep holes or holes with shallow pecks have backplot cycle times that are farther and farther off. 2021 addresses this to correctly account for the rapid down to clearance in the cycle time. A workaround in 2020 right now would be to swap to a chip break cycle in that operation temporarily to backplot it and see a more accurate cycle time if your boss needs a ballpark time.

Gotcha, thanks for your reply.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

No sir, not missing anything. Sorry I can't be of more help.
