Tool Offsets Don't Match Tool Number


Scrump

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to have tool's H and D offsets match the Tool number automatically. Right now, when I select a tool for a toolpath, The tool number is called out sequentially but the H and D offset fields are 0. Another computer at work seems to be populating those fields fine but mine seems to be having trouble with that. Any ideas?

You will need to check the tool offset register setting in your control definition. Go to the settings drop down, select machine def manager, tell Mcam "yes" you want to change the disk copy of the file, tell Mcam "no" you do not want to save the part file. Open the control def from the machine def (it's the icon with the red/green button on it). In the control def go to the topic for "tool", make certain that the tool offset register is set to "add to tool" & the length/diameter are set to zero. Use the green checks in the lower right to exit and save the changes.
