I'm trying to get my boring bar to retract before going straight up (home).
I have 3 lathes with left chucks and 1 with a right chuck.
Have tried defining stock and setting ref points and that works MOST!! of the time.
Is there any way to get the right chuck lathe to load a different operation default file automatically?
Then I could have the ref point box checked and have approach and retract set to Z.1. every time I open a lathe opp. Then it wouldn't matter if i forgot to define the material or X7 decides it doesn't feel like it want's to retract .
Thanks
Pete
