"Multiaxis post can not interpolate between 2 moves with opposite orientations."
This pops up when I try to verify an operation that has a translate/rotary operation. Why?
You may have a switch to turn on and off commentint types. Look for this:
tool_info : 3 #Output tooltable information?
#0 = Off - Do not output any tool comments or tooltable
#1 = Tool comments only
#2 = Tooltable in header - no tool comments at T/C
#3 = Tooltable in header - with tool comments at T/C
I can understand his frustration. Something is not working, no matter what you try. Then people say it's easy but do not show you how it can be easy to fix. Sometimes it would be better if they said nothing, rather than rub salt into the wound. We've all been there.
No, I do not lock feeds. The problems I am seeing seem to be occurring when my work coordinate system and my construction planes do not match. It happened twice this morning under the same circumstances. I was chamfering at an incremental depth of 0. After copying for a new process and only selecting a new solid edge to chamfer, the tool plunged to absolute Z0. I went back and checked both the original op and the copy, and the incremental definitely changed to absolute.
I notice that when I copy a process the linking parameters change. Specifically, the cut depth changes from incremental to absolute. There seems to be a few problems with linking parameters. The worst being that when using incremental or Associative when clicking entities for depths it does not fill in the correct depth value.
For some reason MC sometime gives me grief while trying to change names of my custom WCS names after they have already been renamed.
Would that be because they were duplicated from the "top" WCS?
Trying out the generic 5 axis post.
I have everything figured out, except 1 thing. The rotary axis commands on the Fadal require a Signed direction. For example:
If you cut at B0, then want B90 your axis command would be B90.
However, if you are cutting at B90 and then want to cut at B45, you must enter B-45.
That would keep the rotary from hitting the table. Simply putting in B45 would send this machine 315 degrees around.
I got this to work, except after drill cycles it is not outputting the negative B0 to return like it does in all other paths. Does anyone know where to find this in the post?
