Transform ops and work offsets?

[cobra95kev]

I am using XMR2 on XP and mpmaster horizontal machine def and post.

On horizontal with tombstone I use top WCS and front TCplane for B0 and rotate the tool planes for B axcis output.

I had a group of operations that worked like I wanted and output G55 for all of the ops like I wanted but I used Transform translate using coordinate moving the part X 3.125 and Y -1.725 and it comes out just like I wanted rotations and everything it just is using G54.1 P8 instead of just using G55 like before I translated them.

Is this Mastercam doing this or the post? Is there any way I can get it to use the same offsets I used before translating?

It is likely the way you have the transforms set up.

 

Can you pop your file up on the FTP?

[Bryan Johnson]

check that the offset value for the original operations is not set as "-1".

 

Leaving this as "-1", can cause the offsets to icrement during transforms.

I will try to get it on the FTP right away.

Thanks

Ok,

It is on CADCAM FTP site under the foder named

MCX_MR2_or earlier_files

 

filename= TRANSFORMOFFSET.MCX

 

Thanks alot John,

 

Thanks to you too Bryan, But I checked that and the original ops are set to 1 because I wanted G55 and that is what I got before I transformed the ops.

BTW,

The ops in question are under machine group 2.

 

Thanks

Just so I am clear, you want these to repeat once at the numbers given but both parts maintain the G55 correct?

[cobra95kev]

Yes,

I don't want to run the original locations.

Just the transformed ops. I was just going to post the transformed ops.

Hopefully with a g55.

 

Thanks

take a look at jmp_transform ops.zip that it?

[cobra95kev]

Yes exactly what I wanted.

Now I am going to copy it an undo it and see If I can duplicate it.

 

Thanks alot,
