strange WCS behavior

[tmachine]

I reviewed the forum history on this, but did not see this discussed...

With a user created WCS enabled that has its own origen, I am finding that it keeps changing views on its own. While doing a pocket toolpath, I click on Top of Stock to select the top of stock for this operation, when MC leaves the toolpath operation, pocketing parameters to go to the graphics screen to select, the view had changed as well as the WCS origen. I typed in the correct value for top of stock and continued with the toolpath.

 

I clicked on TOP cplane and tplane, but the new (incorrect) view would not go back. I closed MC and reopened it, clicked on TOP cplane and then the view was correct. (the incorrect view was rotated 90 degrees and had a different origen)

 

I have had the view change 3 times, but I don't remember what I was doing the first two times that changed it. I cannot make MC repeat this, but I did notice that it is inserting G55 for no reason in my code.

 

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I too have experienced this phenomenon. Its seems random and has no pattern. As for the offset thing, even our local MC sales rep. wouldn't have beleived us had he not witnessed it with his own eyes.

I want to say that alot of this is fixed in the 9.1.

I have been using for a while. I do remeber that happening at least once.

I do not see this occernce in a while.

But I have cut every thing in the last months with 9.1.
