subprograms

[mikhael gutman]

Hello!

I have a simple grid pattern of holes to spot, drill & tap,using the v9, okuma post.

I checked on the subprogram options for all three operations parameters. But after posting ,I get 3 seperate subprograms numbers for the same grid pattern. I use same steps that i used for ver 8

In ver 8 everything working fine.

If somebody has same problem?

Check in the operations manager if the program number field is consistant throughout. I had distinct vales in these locations for that specific purpose. Hope this is the sol'n.

Look in the Operation Manager.

On the 1st oper. that drills your pattern, the Geometry entry shows "Geometry - (3) points". Now on the subsequent operations on the same points, what does the Geometry entry show for those opers?

"Geometry - (3) points" OR "(1) drill operations" ? If you have the first, you have selected the Subprogram switch in the operation on the Drill Parameters screen (just below Depth). You've asked MC to create a sub on those points for each operation (read: multiple subs). To get all the tools to call the same sub, do this...

Program the 1st drill operation (do NOT need to check subs here!). Now when you program the 2nd drilling operation, specify the points using Subpgm Ops off the (drill) point selection menu.

You then select the 1st drill operation, and select Incremental on this dialog. Then do the same for any following opers. that use the same points as the original operation. If I do that and post out from the MPOKUMA.PST using v9 SP1, my three drill opers. all call the same subprogram.

Thanks Roger

 

This has been a constant source of pain for me as well, and I think I FINALLY UNDERSTAND IT!!!

Hi!

It does subprograms only in incrimental mode(g91}

What about absolute?
