creating stops

[Guest]

can someone tell me if you can create stops along

 

the wirepath in vx like you could in v9. i can't

 

find where it is at or if it still exists.

ni your tool path parameters page in the op you want a stop in, select canned text in the lower right corner. there is the m00 and m01 stops.

after entering the backplot, there is a bright orange button on the right side of the vcr area. click that and the stop menu comes up.

thanks guys,i couldn't get the canned text to

let me do anything in it when i selected it.i found that i could add stops in the change at point prompt under control flags.that posted out

a moo.does the stop in backplot also let you do

this or is it only for looking closer at a point

along the wirepath.

The 'stops' in Backplot allow you to tell backplot when to stop. It has no relation to the 'M00' stop in your NC program.

 

If you need to add a Program Stop in the NC file at a location other than what the 'Output stop code' option on the Cuts parameter page does for you - you'd do that using the Change at Point function.

Hi guys,

 

I have a similar problem but can't seem to get it to work. I've got three pockets to wire out and I'm using two operations to do it. The first operation roughs all three leaving a tab and then cuts tabs in reverse. The next operation skims all three. The problem is I need to remove the slug before skimming starts. I tried Change at Point and it puts M00 at beginning of rough pass. Hmmmm,any thoughts?
