Breaking up X and Z moves----HARDINGE GT LATHE

[ChrisD]

Hello All.

 

I am currently working on a post for a HARDINGE GT LATHE. There used to be a switch in the older posts to " omit breakup of X Y and Z moves" . I notice with the newer posts supplied with X5 that the switch is no longer there. I can ensure that I breakup the moves in my operations by using Reference "approach" and "retract". But can anyone tell me if the post option is still there? I am using the GENERIC 2 AXIS LATHE post BTW. Should I be using the MPLMASTER?

 

Thanks

I thought I saw something in the Control definition or somewhere a while back.....can't seem to find it now???

This is in the MPLmaster post

 

nobrk$       : yes$   #CD_VAR Omit breakup of x, y & z rapid moves

 

But the "CD_VAR tells me there IS somewhere in the control def to set this....

 

I will look around a bit more when I get some time.

It's on the "Linear" page of the Control Def

Hey Guys.

 

Thanks I put the nobrk$ in to the post and it seemed to work.

Thanks Gcode,

I saw it, but only on the "Mill" branch of the linear page.... didn't make sense to me.

Glad you got it Chris.
