Problem with work offsets and Acromatic control

Hi Guy's
I have been making prototypes and low volume parts for the last year or so with Camworks. Now I have a higher volume job where I need to use work offsets / cordinates. I'm having problems, and I'm not certain if I'm not telling Camworks should correctly or if it is the post or what.
If anyone one has any I deas I'd love to hear them. Also if you have a good post processor for a acromtic 2100 cincinatti let me know!!
Thanks

What sort of problems are you having with the offsets?

What have you been using for your posts with your prototypes? What problems are you having with the current post you have for the Acromatic? I can probably help with the post if you have some sample code and can give me a decent description of what you need changed.

acro 2100

I was programming to a Fanuc exclusively and we paid for a post for that machine. I have just started to use this older Cincinatti Acromatic 2100 machine and I'm using the supplied post processor.

So for beginners I'm just learning the Acro 2100, And I'm just barely up to speed with it. All I can do is use g92 for x y zero and adjust with the pallet offsets.
The code produced from Camworks using the generic 2100 post produces code with a "H1" value for a work offset but I need it to post multiple like h1 h2 h3 h4.
At the machine when I try to MDI a move like:
g0 x1 y1 h1 (or h2) it will only move to the g92 x y coordinates.
Any Ideas here!

Here is an example:
: T2 M6
(MSG,Assem12)
N1(MSG,3/8 2 FLUTE HSS EM)
N2 G0 X.3825 Y-.2175 S3600 M3 H2
N3 Z.1 M8
N4 G1 Z-.288 F11.25
N5 X1.8175 F90.
N6 Y-.255
N7 X.3825
N8 Y-.2925
N9 X1.8175
N10 Y-.33
N11 X.3825
N12 Y-.3675
N13 X1.8175
N14 Y-.405
N54 G0 Z.1
N55 Z1.
N56 Z5.
N57 X.3075 Y-.2425 S200
N58 Z1.
N59 G1 Z-.188 F1.25
N60 X1.6925 F10.
N61 Y-.305
N62 X.3075
N63 Y-.3675
N64 X1.6925
N65 Y-.43
N66 X.3075
N67 Y-.4925

I really appreciate the help.
Thanks

First, I do not know anything about the Cincinatti machine or its functions.

As far as the posting of the fixtures (H's), it looks as if the post is working. Have you changed the FO's in the CAMWorks, part setup parameters, offset, and work offset settings for each fixtures? CAMWorks defaults to fixture 1. You need to click on the work offset to activate it and change the values accordingly.
