Plane

[snguyen6]

 I have question about the plane ,I am using MC 2017 when I write the program for 4 operation parts  each operation I created a different plane call op# 1 ,op # 2 , op # 3 , op# 4 .

on the plane  parametter all my 3 planes (  working coordinate system / Tool plane and construction plane ) the all automatic change every time I switch the the plane that I want to work on . But on my coworker system it does not , only the first box which" work coordinate system" is showed the new plane name and the other 2 box grey out which causing problem when he post out the NC. I try to fixed for him but we both unable to find out the problem. I am missing some thing on the setting ? 

Thank you so much

Not sure I completely understand the issue.....picture? file?

Just wondering if it might not be related to needing to have this set

My stab at it:

If you  create a plane ( even a duplicate )

It is now a custom plane and no matter what when you change your view i.e. FRONT etc. the T anc C will no longer snap to FRONT like toldvit to do in the setting dialogue .

Duplicate planes with the same wcs values, it always seems to revert to the first plane when you change the view. In x9 at least

Still the same issue in 2018. I will change something by .00000001 and then it will quit happening.

Looks like Update 2 that is in Beta address this issue.

That's cool, some of our parts get rough heat treat and semi finish heat treat and often have the same origin.  This will make is cleaner.

Yes I follow the same process for parts that get about the same thing. Datums are the WCS and then I just give them different ways to pick them up between each operation taking extra stock, fixtures and such into account. Much easier then some random corner and then try to track it all back to what goes where and when.
