Mill_Haas_VF

[Midwest]

Been working with this post......have changed a few things......The next thing I want to change is it is putting a G54 at every tool change, I only want a G54 once in the program at the top.

ooh ooh, I know this, oh nevermind I'm not to reply

There is likely a switcxh in the post near the top to output the WCS at all toolchanges, set it to 0 if you have the switch.

Found this section in the post anything to change here????

[John13]

I have no idea if this will help, but

 

Check farther down in the post for force WCS. If your using the mastercamX editor, use the FIND icon and search for forceWCS and see if there is anything there you can change, it looks to be in the peof$ section.

check the section towards the bottom of this

[John13]

BTW, What post are you using?

[Midwest]

MillX_Haas_VF.zip from the FTP

[John13]

ok, my previous post was from the mpmaster post. I'm not sure how similar they are.

[htm01]

i added it here in v9 at start of file

 

pbld, n, *sgcode, *sgplane, "G40", "G49", "G54", "Z0.", "G80", *sgabsinc,

[Guest]

I don't know why you would hardcode something like that.

 

That would seem to me like you are just asking for something to go bad.

 

It can and should be coded out if that is what you need but hardcoding a workofset in my mind is a bad move.

[P_Scott]

Midwest,

 

What about using the Misc Values? The first one should have a "2" in the Misc Integer field. Then just use the Work Offset value of "0" for all the operations. What version are you using? In Mcam X, select all operations and right-click to select the "Edit Selected Ops./Edit Common Parameters". The following dialog shown will allow you to change the Misc Values and Work Offset value in the Planes button for all the ops selected. HTH

[Midwest]

Peter still no luck...... trying another option......the post "MILLX_HAAS-VF.zip is on the FTP if anyone wants to try.

 

look in the "Text_&_post_files_&_misc" folder

 

 

Thanks to everyone for trying so far

[Allan Brown]

force_wcs : no$

 

should do it, unless your workofs variable is changing based on Mastercam settings. Are you using multiple toolplanes?

[Midwest]

Dave, I'm only using 1 tool plane at a time.

 

I emailed and found who put the post on the FTP.....they said "The only easy edits for this post are listed at the top of the file as options. The feature you are looking for can be changed, but it is not a simple switch."

 

Maybe I'll try working some with the "mpmaster post"

 

If I have to for awhile maybe I'll use the editor to alter all "G54's" to "nothing". Don't like this option very well.

 

My old V9 post didn't translate very well to X. Parts of the nc code are not in the proper places in a sample drilling program I have tried.

 

 

After I get a post to work.........then I'll start on one for a Hurco.

 

 

Oh well back at it tomorrow

 

 

[Bryan Johnson]

Why would you NOT want the fixture offset to be repeated at every toolchange?

 

Is it so that you can edit this at the machine, and only have to change it in 1 place?

 

Daves suggestion of "force_wcs : no$" should work.

[Midwest]
