post help or machine control help

[Ballnose Bill]

Haas UMC here; I wish to post G54 through G56 for each piece. I'm pretty certain that I am being blocked by either the machine post or the machine/control definition. I would also like each operation to run on each piece before moving to the next operation; like face top G54 G55 G56 then face front and so forth. I can do all of these things utilizing a 3-axis post but when it comes to my five axis post its a no go, we utilize G254 (dynamic work offset) and wish to continue doing. I think this is where the problem lies but I know we can just cancel out the G254 before going to the next work offset then enabling G254 once again. Take a look at this and see what you all think. looking to run the 3-piece riser on my UMC in the most efficient manner utilizing G254 as well as three independent work offsets. I'm not the man or the guy, just a cog in the machine trying to make things happen I'll pass it along for post work if necessary no problem, just want to get it narrowed down before handing it off.  Any help is much appreciated.

Post has probably been defaulted to use only one WCS. Look for a switch in the post to make the change.

That sounds accurate, thank you. How about the operations running the entire part through instead of each operation for each part? Could that be linked to the post default as well? 

 

thanks for the help millman.

If you are running an the generic 5X post look for this switch

use_frst_wcs : no$  #Use only the first WCS read and ignore all others in NCI

If it's set to yes, it will post the first work offset it encounters.

If it's set to no it will post every work offset it encounters and you must be sure you have them all set correctly

Make sure each plane in Mastercam has a the correct offset in the planes manager. Don't use the automatic crash your machine offset process.
