How to get transform rotate to post out the indexes when using sub routines

[CookerJohn]

I am trying to rotate a tool path around the x axis for a rotary program in MCAM 2023.  Currently it posts the code correctly but does not post out the indexes, so I have to manually A0, A-120, and A-240 for each position that runs the sub routine. 

I have attached a screen shot of both parameter pages and sample code of what I get and comments on the desired output.

I am using the MP Master post processer. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Is the machine definition set up for an A-Axis?

I believe so, if I don’t use transform rotate it will post the indexes correctly.

Does it do the same if you use NCI instead of Geometry as the source?

I get the same result with NCI

The issue is most likely over on the "work offset numbering."  You will want it to "maintain source operations."   Right now, in the background, it's rotating the toolpath but then it's assigning a new plane and work offset number, like setting a toolpath to New/New/New.   What you really want is the equivalent of you creating a new toolpath on the Top/Front/Front plane, so it knows that the WCS is still "top," but it needs to rotate the output to "front." 

Here's a really elaborate example:

(notes: there's generally  not a need to include Origin/WCS/Save Planes when doing this.   NCI keeps you from having to duplicate the geometry for your transforms, which I usually don't want to do.   It doesn't really affect the output as much as the processing time for the input).

That is what I am looking for, just need the p1, p2, and p3 for the offsets

I think you put me the right direction to finding a solution, will update when I get the result I am looking for.

 

Thank you guys!
