MP Master horizontal force B output in program without indexing


Recommended Posts

Using MP Master with 5/30/19 last revision note. 

When I post a toolpath, or group of toolpaths that are all on B0. and do not have any other index positions, I do not get a B0. output.

I have found some older forum posts recommending:

#sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used <--------uncomment this line

 

but I cannot find anything like this line in the post?

Did you look in the 'prwtt$' Post Block?

It's  been in MPMaster for a while, probably the last 10 years or so...

           if tool_table = 3, pmetatool
           if t$ >= zero, tcnt = tcnt + one
