x7, verify, mill tools, wrong orientation

[JohnBoy13]

Hello,

I'm working in X7 and I'm facing, turning, and drilling small parts. My problem is when I back plot the tool paths everything looks good, but when I go to verify the lathe ops. are fine and the mill tools are in the wrong orientation. The mill tools are vertical when I need them to be horizontal.

Thanks.

How have you defined the operations? Are you using C axis toolpaths or are you using Mill toolpaths? Can you post up the file or some screenshots so we can help see what the exact issues you are seeing might be?

I have have them defined

as lathe tools. They are stationary in a slant bed turret. I have done this several times before in x6. It is only in the verify that I see this problem. I'll try to get a screen shot up.

This is the best I could do. It took me forever to get these up! You can see the drill in verify is oriented wrong. What am I doing wrong? Hope you can help. Thanks. :-)

Tip #1 www.photobucket.com is a great site to keep screen shots on to link to here.

 

I honestly do not know what could be creating the issue you are seeing. If it back plots good and makes good code then use to get machine running and be careful when running on the machine. I cannot duplicate what you are seeing if you can share the file that would help.

 

Check out the sample file.

 

Here is the setup:
