Swept

[F800R]

I'm having a problem with using swept in X3 MU1. I'm programming a part on a 4th axis indexer. Every time I use a 2D swept above the world origin (WCS set either at world origin or above)the toolpath wants to start and end at world origin zero. I have been editing the NC code, but it is getting to be a pain . I have used swept for years just not on an indexer. I switched to flowline on a few parts to correct this, but I still like good old swept.

 

Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?

You have a reference point set on I am betting.

If you mean "rapid depth", yes. If you change it higher it will go from world zero to the "rapid depth" to the swept then back to world zero.

John,

 

Thanks, found the "ref point" tab was toggled on. Screen looks good and NC code looks good.

 

Thanks.
