C axis enable main

[westerfieldc]

Alright I found another problem with my Mplmaster post. It posts M45 caxis enable main for the first caxis tool path bot not for the resulting paths, whic would be horible except the post outputs a M46 caxis disable everytime it does a G28 home position. I'm thinking that I need to force pcaxis_m_on but I'm not sure how. Thanks in advance.

Might need to run the debug and see where it being called from. It is probably somewhere in the retract part of the post. Might need to add logic to store the call. Turning off and on C axis code is something the post handles well. Might need to add a trigger or something that look to the tool_op$ to see what is being called and if it is a caxis toolpath then do not cancel the code. As I type this I am thinking you will probably need to add logic to the tool change and retract part to know it is called and not call it again in the tool change an in the retract. I am not back to V & M till Thursday and will see if I can look at it then if no one chimes in before then.

westerfieldc,

 

Is the M46 hard coded in the post? What I mean is on the prefreturn line does it have a "M46" coded in it? The reason I ask is the post may not have a parameter to turn it off.

It's tied with the G28 line. I could remove it from that but I acutally want it to be there.
