Switching from Lathe WCS to mill WCS - analyze retains D

[Smit]

I've been trying to do my lathe and mill operations in the same mastercam file lately but I'm running into problems.

Specifically, when I program a lathe operation and then a mill operation the analyze box will display D Y Z instead of changing to an X Y Z display.

If there is a way to force it the display into X Y Z mode please share. This is kinda frustrating.

Thanks!

Hey Larry, it depends on which plane you have active.  Be sure to click on whichever plane you want to see analyze info relative to.

I've had this happen to me lately and found that sometimes I need to go into the Planes manager and right mouse click on the active plane and then select  Coordinate display and then Lathe D

 

It doesn't  necessarily "stick", but it does allow me to see my diameter values.

Move your insert arrow down to the bottom of the mill op your checking. You have to get it out of the lathe ops.

This fixed it, by clicking on, coordinate display mill

Thanks Gents, those are all good tips and they did fix my problem.
