Transform/Rotate toolpath help

Recommended Posts

I am taking a part from our verticals and putting it in a horizontal. On the vertical we had 6 different fixtures and on the horizontal it will be 2, so I am going to also double the parts count per run.

 

The part has about 150 operations, so I was hoping to use some transforming so I didn't have to redo them for the other positions. On our other parts, I use transform/translate to post for different offsets of the same operation. On this part, I need to rotate the tool path. Due to the tolerances, I need to have the same side of the casting face the fixed jaw. I need the tool paths that are already programmed for the bottom jaw area rotated to the top area. For some reason I can't figure out the settings to get it to post correctly. It keeps throwing a B180 in the positioning block when it should be a B0.

 

Does anyone have any insight as to what I could be doing wrong?

 

Thanks

David
