Hey all, Cant remember where I saw it, but I was fairly certain there is a spot in a LATHE control def that you can switch all mill commands to off? I think it was worded more like 'Post supports Mill' or something... Any ideas where it may have been I saw that? Tks

one_rev : 1 #Limit rotary indexing between 0 and 360? (0 = No, 1 = Yes) Thought I would just throw this in so all can see how, at least for me, the problem was resolved.

I got it all fixed up now Jay, but it was looking at it as if B370 was B10. Sadly the control (although a Fanuc) will not recognize this. And it will confuse the crap outta the operator...which might be kinda funny.

/Ignore. Found it in another thread (as always, right after I post this.../sigh)

Hey all, Been a long time since I have been on here! O_o Downloaded the X4 MPMaster yesterday and started doing some tuning on it. A standard horizontal program we run around 5 or 6 different WCS's (all user created). NEVER before have we had an issue with it posting above 360° but this post does. I have a B360. (= B0), B450. (= B90) and B540 (= B180). Not sure why this is, but wondering if there is a setting where I can limit it to post only up to 359° and then reset back to 0? Tks

In the tool path parameters on the thread page, change eithr the Thread Angle or Included angle to get the proper output that you require. HTH

Had looksee for that, and nothin. Might just have to do it by hand.

Chuck, Mine is set the same way. I was screwing arond with the integers for over an hour this morning before I posted that. Its extremely frusterating that it works in one lathe post and the exact same thing does not in another....

I am getting code: G50 S1000 T202 M41 G97 S380 M03 On tools with one digit. But tools with two digits I get code: G50 S1000 T1212 M42 G96 S500 M04 I want my single digit code to be T0202 (for example) not T202. I realize both work just fine, but my operators are gonna change it anyways so I might as well save them some time... Any ideas why this might be?

Gots me a vertical mill MD and all the trimmings, with NO rotary axis. Have a round part, with a feature on either side identical to one another. Out of sheer lazyness I toolpath one, say Transform, Rotate, Toolplane, Ghost ops, maintain offset. Set my rotate to 1 time, 180 deg. about the TOP plane. What do I get? An A-180.! Wth! No matter what I do, even if I take the transform and say Create New geom, and not keep the transform, it still gives me an A (although now A180, not minus) output. Why would this be happening? I have check to make sure things like rotary/axis sub are not on. Dunno.

Could also be a Misc Integers switch for this.

Ajmer, I am fairly confident This instance is using a seperate tool. Even if I combine this with the roughing tool (use 1 tool) it will output in IPM. Just outta pure giggles I switched it to IPM on that screen and it didnt change the output at all [ 09-16-2010, 04:47 PM: Message edited by: Randy Morton @ StreamFlo Industries ]

My pffr was a little different then that, a couple more switches checking this and that, so I dumbed it down so it was the same as you had above and no change. Its funny cause its only in the canned finish that I have the problem. EVERYWHERE else in post comes out in IPR. Very weird.
