Hi Guys, I guess I didn't make clear what I wanted to do in my last reply.
I understand the the different configurations - they set parameters for NC/Plot
so it can understand the way certain codes are used for a particular machine.
What I need in this case is a way for NC/Plot to translate a G79 which is the code for feed in the Cintimatic to a G01 which is the code used by NC/Plot and almost everything else, without having to use the editor to change every instance of the code to the other and then back again in the final program so I can run the machine.
For the Cintimatic a G79 = feed, G80 = rapid, a G78 = Rapid to position then bring the spindle down (if it is not already down) then wait. I have a configuration for this machine but don't know how to include the above in it. It is no big deal as we don't use these machines much but if there is a way I would like to find it.
Thanks,
Gary |
