Make sure your translation method is Toolplane rather than Coordinate.

 

Check out MPSUBREP_NEWMETHOD.zip on cadcam's FTP:

If you want to use the mpmaster.pst, you go to the tool parameters page and set the 1st misc. integer to "1".

Then go to the transform parameters and at the bottom right there is work offset numbering box. click on "assign new" set what work offset you want to start at and the increment.

click on the translate tab at the top.

Then in the translate box set the X and Y spacing to zero. and in the x steps enter the number of vices that you have.

Hope this helps
