lathe canned cycle

[SBA]

I have a lathe part using a canned cycle facing cycle. It posts correctly and outputs the correct start point x,z and end z and correwct depth of cut. In backplot it is not showing the correct depth of cut passes. Any ideas on what would cause this post or parameters? I have a similar part same post and setup that works and displays correctly.

Do you mean that the machine will make, for example, 4 passes to machine the part, but the backplot shows 5? If the posted data is right, I wouldn't think it'd be a post-processor problem; would it?

Actually it is a file transfered from v8 to v9 and it is a rough canned cycle on the face. In v8 when back plotted it shows the cuts, in this case .06 depth of cut. When the file is pulled up in v9 in shows the passes, when it is regened in v9 it no longer shows the passes. The nc file is the same in both cases.

Didn't realize you were in V9; we haven't used ours yet (just got it in).

 

Sorry
