We have a job that we are quoting that would require me to machine the part on an indexer in 90 degree increments. This shouldn't be a problem but I've never used Mastercam to program a part using the indexer. How involved is this and what are some things I should look out for? This would run on a Hurco VMX42 (3 axis post) Not sure if that makes a difference. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having trouble editing my post to give me a work offset call with a G90 A0. at the end of my program. This is where I am trying to put it in my post: peof$ #End of file for non-zero tool pretract comment$ if stagetool = 1 & stagetltype = 2, pbld, n$, *first_tool$, e$ n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, "A0.", e$ <------- the line I have added. n$, "M30", e$ Not sure what I'm doing wrong to get a output of G54, G55, etc. This is what it is posting: G0 Z1.1 M9 G91 G28 Z0. M5 G28 Y0. G0 G90 A0. M30 % And this is what I want: G0 Z1.1 M9 G91 G28 Z0. M5 G28 Y0. G0 G90 G54(or whatever work offset program is using) A0. M30 % Thank you
