The easiest method to avoid indexes is to set your WCS to whatever plane you want to work on and have your T/C planes = Top, that shoudl prevent an index.

You may need to check your parameters. If the post thinks you're posting for a horizontal then it wants Front to be A0 so by having your T/C planes set to top it's putting out a rotation to get there.

 

Easy check would be to set WCS to Top and T/C planes to Front and try that out.

 

If that fixes it then you need to find that parameter and switch it for vertical.

The post is set to vertical and in the toolpath parameters page planes(wcs) is set to "wcs=top" "tool plane=front" "comp/construction plane=front"

 

Now I just checked something before I sent this reply and it worked I'm so used to setting my wcs for indexing that I didn't realize for simple vise work using the wcs works but in the parameters page it needs to be set to wcs=front so it knows its not indexing.

 

Thanks for all the help guys I just need to not over think stuff cheers.gif
