I am seting up one of these tools, and I am curios how you program for it. Do I program the same as for a vertical tool and modify the code to put it at a 45?
-EDIT-
I am working on a mill/turn
I am having problems with the Axis combo selection working for my mill/turn. I select Right upper for both the tool and toolpath, and it will usually post out incorrect unless I re-click on the Axis combo again (which dirtys the op even though it was already selected) and regen. Anyone else having this happen?
quote:
that you udated your planes in Parameters?
In the toolpath parameters? Yes. Wcs=Top/Tool plane & comp plane=New plane
I use planes on all my parts without issue, but not on the face.
I just tried it in the Right plane and main spindle. I cannot get it to post any different there either.
I put a file on the ftp in the X4 files called C_axis_test.
I am working on a mill/turn and on my sub-spindle I have some holes to mill on the face (left view).
I want to position the C-axis at a different position than the left plane does. ( the geo is on the lower end of the part and I do not have enough travel)
I tried "rotate planes" and rotated the Left plane 180 around Z, but the posted code is the same
Any help?
Thanks
I have an X4 file with many lathe and mill toolpaths, when I copied a level (with geometry for creating planes) and rotated the geometry all the lathe ops needed to regen. Whats up with that??
Edit
When I regenerated the file (using Regenerate all Dirty ops) all the High Speed mill toolpaths that didn't have the red X also regenerated
