How would like my post to list a G02 and a G03 with each line? This is the code now.

N180 G41 D4 X2.178 Y-.7128 F14.06 (CUTTER COMP)

This is where I think it needs to be changed

I am using Mastercam X5, we had a post that was done but needs some more tweaks. Right now when I program I set the WCS for the B axis centerline and create toolplanes for index and rotated features.
My question is should I ask to have the post and or Machine definition to have the B axis rotation point which is 80mm from the table surface added to the post?
I am not sure what may come up programing wise and would like flexibility if needed. We are not using the G54 thru G59 offsets but may use the G68.2 in the future.
Thank You
I think you are right about the 5 axis machine def. I tried a 4 axis machine def and that did work better. Just was looking for the toolpath to be at the geometry location.
Thanks
I emailed my reseller both post yesterday. I was getting to many errors trying it out on my own. I was hoping to have one less operation to create.
Thank You
I have tried two post that give me what I want. One is the Generic Fanuc 5axis and the other is the download from here called mpsubrepx post.
I am not sure how many places and what needs to be added and what needs to be over written when I copy from the mpsubrepx to the Generic 5axis which I already renmamed so I have a backup.
So far I have located the statement "if numsub" would it be correct that all data that is written in reference to that statement would be my only value I should search and cross reference?
Thank You
I created and saved the template. I can access the from geometry creation. But I do not see how to access it from transform toolpath. Can the template you recommended be accessed from transform toolpath?
Thank You
Sample Mastercam X5 attached. Would like to know if it is possible to create a rotate transform of a toolpath by refering to a rotation pattern of curves? Or is there a clean way to transform the toolpaths to mill features.
Thank You

No, I would like to rotate milled profiles and pockets about a centerline for machining rings that average 10 inches tall 20 inch inside diameter and 36 outside diameter. The rotations are not equal.
Thanks
Hi,
The parts that are programed here, are round with milled profiles and pockets, on the faces and outside diameter. The spacing is not equal and the numbers range from 10 to 98 locations based on the parts centerline. Is there a way to create geometry once and have a selected toolpath reference that geometry? If a chook is already created which one do I ask for?
Thank You
I am using the ActiveReports in Mastercam for doing setup sheets. There are default .rpx files for lathe setup.
Would anybody have a more streamline lathe setup sheet using ActiveReports that can be purchased or shared?
