2020 not using wcs


Recommended Posts

If I remember correctly, when doing 4th axis indexing parts. I use to setup my part with the center or rotation at A0. This is in the top plane. Then any angled cuts, i just create a new view with whatever geometry I need. Then its just chain and make sure to set the wcs to TOP, the T&C plane to whatever angle and it will make everything work out. For some reason I now have to move this plane to X0. Y0. Z0. for it to post out correctly now. And this post is also forcing me to use different wcs numbers. I changed them all to -1 but when I post it keeps forcing G54 for the first toolpath and g55 for the 2nd toolpath.

Moving to the origin for any multi-axis work has ALWAYS been the best method....

Offsets, if you're using MPMaster, there is a MI$ variable for setting it to the first offset #...if not, just set all your used planes to be 0

I forgot about the renumber work offsets screen. Is there a way to default that to 0.

You could do a Template file with basic planes created and set to 0...additional planes would still have to be set...no way to give planes a default work offset
