Mplmaster and compensation in control


Recommended Posts

Hello, is there a problem with mplmaster since it doesn't seem to activate compensation in control in a canned cycle? Has anyone else noticed this?
 
Take a simple canned roughing cycle (this is metric cam, probably doesn't matter). The current mplmaster post produces this:
 
G54
N1 T0101
G18 G99
M24
G97 S920 M03
G0 X86.5 Z3.25
X84. Z2.
G50 S3000
G96 S250
G71 U2. R.2
G71 P3 Q5 U.4 W.2 F.25
N3 G0 X30. S250 W0. (<---- G42 is missing in here)
G1 Z-25.
G2 X34. Z-27. R2.
G1 X43.
Z-31.
X51. Z-35.
X80.
Z-43.
N5 G40 X84. (<--- compensation off does appear, but it was not activated)
 

Here's what the default lathe post produces:

 

G0 T0101
G18
G97 S947 M03
G0 G54 X84. Z2.
G50 S3000
G96 S250
G71 U2. R.2
G71 P100 Q102 U.4 W.2 F.25
N100 G0 G42 X30. S250  (<--- compensation in control appears)
G1 Z-25.
G2 X34. Z-27. I2.
G1 X43.
Z-31.
X51. Z-35.
X80.
Z-43.
N102 G40 X84. (<--- and is turned off like it should)
G0 Z2.
 
For me, this is not really a problem - I can fix my mplmaster post and I already did so. But I'd like to see the "official" fix if this is indeed a bug.
