Hello I'm looking for some post modification help. The machine is a fagor 8055 lathe we have mounted a second turret on the table. The new turret always cuts on the negative side of the X axis. I'm using the generic MPFAN post that came with mastercam 2022. I have changed the line below.
dia_mult : -2 #Multiplier for output on X axis (Neg. switches sign of X)
So it is now posting out with negative X moves. My problem is its posting out positive numbers for the I and K moves for the G2 & G3 arcs. Can anyone tell me what to change in the post to reverse the I & K values to negatives?
Example its posting out
G02 X-11.1242 Z-.0259 I.0172 K.0261
Needs to be
G02 X-11.1242 Z-.0259 I-.0172 K-.0261
Thanks for any help I'm pretty stuck
Thanks for the input I have part of the comments working. I have another bigger issue at the moment. The machine is a fagor 8055 lathe we have mounted a second turret on the table. The new turret always cuts on the negative side of the X axis. I'm using the generic MPFAN post that came with mastercam 2022. I have changed the line
dia_mult : -2 #Multiplier for output on X axis (Neg. switches sign of X)
So it is now posting out with negative X moves. I also had to switch the G2 & G3 directions. My problem is its posting out positive numbers for the I and K moves for the G2 & G3 arcs. Can anyone tell me what to change in the post to reverse the I & K values to negatives?
Example its posting G02 X-11.1242 Z-.0259 I.0172 K.0261
Needs to be
