Forced Tool change

[Guest]

I have several contours all being done with the same tool. I am trying to force a tool change between each contour and I am getting nothing in my post as far as send ing the tool home it just continues onto the next contour and ignore the force tool change switch.

 

It's an option I only used a handful of times in V9 and I don't recall having to do anything biseds tick off the box to get it to work.

 

Anyone have any idea what I might be missing?

Do you have "Force Tool Change" checked in the Tool Parameters page ?

[Guest]

yes

I just tried and it worked for me. All I did was check the Force Tool Change box.

 

BTW I'm using the MPMaster post.

 

 

You shouldn't need to do anything else.

Between this and that little effin' red arrow that keeps moving my operation order.

Thanks for the attempted humor Paul

 

I'm in from the ledge now, though jumping almost became a reality.
