I've used the prm to set work offsets.
Depending on the control it looks different. Some there is a space between each letter
<80>(WORK OFFSET MACRO)
(P=OFFSET NUMBER)
#1=PRM[19700]
#2=PRM[19701]
#3=PRM[19702]
#4=PRM[19705]
G90G10L2P1X[#1/25.4]Y[#2/25.4]Z[[#3+#4]/25.4]
M30
JP actually helped.me save the z retract height on mine but I cant find it thru search.
It's something like this
Initht=z_retract
Found it
I think I had a reverse the order though I don't remember it was a long time ago
I set a probe flag.
In prapid out I told it if probe flag equals 1 and tool number = 60 and drill cycle greater than 7 use protected position cycle.
It outputs like this. So ever move is protected except for the initial. I can change that as well except we haven't really needed to yet.
A lot of times I'll make a new geometry group with a bigger stay away. For things like fixtures Even when avoidance geometry is available I think some toolpaths don't like it or take longer to process with it
I see. We had a job sort of like that except the customer made an actual nesting blueprint based on the CTE of the test coupons that were taken from it.
