post question

I have a post that is pretty much dialed to what I need but I have one problem. I need to use a 4rth axis and all of my operations are on the same work offset regardless of view, I am not getting the lock and unlock codes for the 4rth axis before it has to move. If I allow mastercam to put all my different views on different work offsets all is good with the world. I hope you guys have run across this in the past, thanks for any help

See if this is turned on in your post

lock_codes : 0 #Use rotary axis unlock/lock M-Codes? (0 = No, 1 = Yes)

Yes that line and many others that look like it, there seems to be quite a bit of logic in there but I am still not quite getting this right.

If you change that line to a 1 it doesn't change your output?

Yes it does, but it only seems to throw out a lot more M10 codes. I need it to put out an M11 before the A axis move, and then an M10 to lock it back up after the A move. I will try to play around with it a little more. Thanks for your help

It sounds like your logic at those points in the post got changed around.

 

I started with the MPmaster and it worked like a champ right off of the download.

 

Good Luck

you werent lying, I tried out the mpmaster and it was good right after I changed the line you mentioned earlier. I am not sure why, but the people I am working with seem to stay away from the mpmaster types of posts, I don't know why. Thanks alot for all your help.
