X5 Transform by Toolplane Bugged

[MrFish]

Has any one else had a problem with X5 not creating the toolpathes in the right position when using Transform by Toolplane toolpathes with a new origin shift ?

No one ? just wanted to check before I send to QC.

If you you are referring to work offsets when you say "positions" there was a change as to how its done in X5. In previous versions you used offset 0 for start, and then increment by 1. In X5 you have to say start 1 and increment 1. Assuming you source ops are using offset 0, the next location will use offset 1(start offset), and the next location will increment by 1 and use offset 2, etc. There was a tech bulletin on this somewhere.

[MrFish]

no not refering to work offsets, refering to the operation not being in the right place at all.

The toolpath in the picture is a transform by toolplane toolpath that has had the datum point selected as the centre of the hole on face 1 and the toolplane is a custom wcs that aligns with face 1. As you can see it backplots in completely the wrong place.

Just a heads up that this is a bug and has been listed as defect CNC00101254. This toolpath works fine in X4 MU3.

BTW: this thread is 3 months old

 

He stated that he is using X5.....

 

Yes, I have had problems with this myself. I Can Not get toolpath rotate to work right when using Axis Sub (4th axis vertical mill).

 

Anyone else having this problem? Most likely its just the method I'm using?
