what if the vise is rotated 180 deg and you had 10 cutters and want them to run sequentially

Yes MLS that is what i meant i am transforming toolpath. But in the post it is spitting out an A180. i only want to rotate program x and y 180.

i get alarm at machine(machine does not support A)

i want to rotate the toolpath ONLY not the part not the fixture

I am trying to rotate my toolpath 180 deg. In my post it is putting out an A value. Is all i want is to cut the parts on the otherside of stationary 4 up fixture. What am i doing wrong?? I was using transform-rotate.

Thanks for any help

Thanx for the info, after looking up that switch and it being on (1) i am assuming this machine has the highspeed function. Could it be that my post is not posting that m code i am using a post modified by my reseller for this haas. Does anybody know what the m code would be and i could search the post the manual does not specify an m code for this at least not under "highspeed" or "lookahead"

thanx to all for the help and information

was missing the x+.ft file. works fine now

has there been an upgrade for x+ there set up sheet was the best. but i cannot get it to work with x2 it dogs my computer out almost to standstill.

I had this same problem. My I.T. guy had all my permissions turned off had him give me the permissions now everything sticks

i am cutting acvouple of pockets then contouring them. when i say it grays the tool out i mean in the actual geometry window. not in op manager.
