Angle Output Issues

I just noticed that when I post out only a partial of a program to look at something.

 

The angle output is A0. and not A270. like it should be but if I post the entire file when it gets to the tool in question the A270. is correct.

 

Not good if I were to partial post for a cut and paste. It would start at the wrong location.

 

Anyone out there in Rotary land have any ideas on how I could correct this.

 

Thanks

Could it be a view issue? I have to have my geometry or solid in Top WCS and Front view with the T/C plane set to the surface I want to machine to get it to post right. (Horizontal machining center)

It seems that the post is not checking to see where the rotary is suppose to be.

it assumes it is where it should be and posts

M11

A0.

M10

 

If I knew how to tell the post to check rotary location and code out

M11

G0 G90 A (CORRECT ANGLE)

M10

 

That would do it.

I think.

I am using "X" and this is the first time they ever needed a rotary post.

 

If someone has a older 4 axis rotary post that is standard Fanuc / Yasnac code that posts out

G54 (or whichever WCS is used) with every tool change and the rotary posts out good (even if you grab a operation in the middle of the file and post a single operation)

that it will know the correct A location to post.

 

That would be very helpful.
