Transform Acting DUMB!

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Gots me a vertical mill MD and all the trimmings, with NO rotary axis.

 

Have a round part, with a feature on either side identical to one another. Out of sheer lazyness I toolpath one, say Transform, Rotate, Toolplane, Ghost ops, maintain offset. Set my rotate to 1 time, 180 deg. about the TOP plane.

 

What do I get? An A-180.! Wth! No matter what I do, even if I take the transform and say Create New geom, and not keep the transform, it still gives me an A (although now A180, not minus) output.

 

Why would this be happening? I have check to make sure things like rotary/axis sub are not on.

 

Dunno.

If your going to ghost the original, and you want 2 ops (1 @ 0deg & 1 @180 deg), I think you need to set your rotate to 2 and 180.

if you dont want any rotations you need to check by coordinate not toolplane.
