pickoff cutoff - sub spindle plane

[Brian Pallas]

So in X7 when the stock would transfer from the main to the sub spindle, had it generate the pickoff view, then you would select that as your tool plane, do your toolpath and pick a tool for the sub spindle, and then Mastercam would automatically make another plane for the right side that had the same origin as the pickoff spindle view that was created with the POCO operation.

I don't know what changed in 2017, or why it isn't working for me but now I select the planes as before, and mcam always wants to use the left spindle plane.  It will say the axis combination is Right/Upper, but the "spindle origin" will still be "lathe upper left'.  So I have to go in and manually make a new plane, then go to the toolpath, then reselect the planes in the "axis combination/spindle origin" area.

Also noticed that for lathe you can no longer change the coordinate system for a group of operations by using the "edit common parameters"?  Or did they just move that somewhere else and I'm not seeing it? Used to go "edit common parameters --> "coordinates"

 

 I've never really got why if I use the plane manager and select the plane, that it decides to use a different plane when I create the toolpath, instead of just using the pickoff view that it already generated?  

 

What is the right/easy way to get the planes made for the sub side?
