canned cycles not working

[Zoffen]

I've gotten the Generic Fanuc 4ax lathe post to output canned cycles but for the life of me i havn't been able to figure out how to make a stock Fanuc 2ax lathe post to output Lathe canned cycles. It outputs all longhanded code. I have the canned cycles checked in the machine def and i have the longhand code option unchecked in the toolpath.

 

any help this is driving me CRAZY!

 

thanks a bunch!

I highly suggest using the MPLMaster post for lathe.

Canned cycles for that post are easily changed.

figured it out.

 

i'm a retard!

 

you need to have subprograms active for canned cycles to work.

 

gotta love spending a few hours scouring your post only to find out it was just a checkbox lol!

Yes, but now you know, and knowing is half the battle! (Thanks G.I. Joe!)
