I'm trying to set up a DX32 Bridgeport mill post...using the V9 DX32 converted to X2MR2

and here's what I get when I post a drill cycle

It looks to me like the tool change is on the wrong end of the cycle

I would also like it to not go to x10 and y 10 at the beginning of the file I changed the home position to x0y0 in the control def. already

What do I need to change?

thanks in advance,

Tom

Tom,

 

Check this variable

 

code:

---

rpd_typ_v7 : 0  # Use Version 7 style contour flags?

---

Make sure it is set to 0

[TomHemphill]

You're the man John ...That fixed the tool change thing ...any ideas on the x and y still going to 10"at the beginning of the file It was doing that in milling cycles also but I changed the home position to x0y0 in the control def. and it took care of that part of the problem

 

Thanks for the quick reply

Tom

[TomHemphill]

I unchecked the"use post

[TomHemphill]

oops...I unchecked the "use post settings" box in misc. intergers and it fixed the home position setting Will I have to do this every time or is there a way to make that setting permanent?

[Guest]

you can do one of two things, set a default value in your post or go into your control definition and set there how you want to handle the default settings

[TomHemphill]

Got it ..thanks I checked from default operation

seems to be working

If I could bug you for one more thing...I'm not getting any G54 statement at the beginning of the file I see the choice listed under mi1 at the beginning of the post file and I also see a listing in the control def Where should I set this up at ?

Thanks again

Tom

[Guest]

Without seeing your post but knowing the "standard" if you set mi1 to a value of 2, that "should" get you a G54 output

[TomHemphill]

Ok I'll see if I can get it working

everything else seems to be working

thanks
