TRANSLATE BY WCS

[Stebedeff]

Hello,

I'am trying to translate some operations for the first time. Now I can't see any WCS checkbox or anything. It's a 4 times translation using G54, G55 , G56 , G57. Is it possible the way I want it. I got thru with the transform rotate and understand it, as well as translate and mirrow. But just not by using a WCS.
I want to make 4 parts, each on there own clamp.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks....

Steb,
on the type and methods page in tranlate toolpath, select method tool plane work offset numbering select new 0=54 1=55 etc..
also use create operations and geometry too this will be helpful if you want to chage each offset manually.

NICE!!!

I got thru with it with a little playing around. Set it indeed to Translate, Tool plane, Operation type, Work offset numbering: Assign new: start -1 increment 1, So I get a G54 to start with cause -1 (start) +1(increment) = 0 and that's still G54. On Translate parameter page set the Polar to 4 for G54,G55,G56,G57. Would this be the exact correct way to do it. Just having some doubts about the polar. But nc looks just how I want it so......Thanks for the Help!!!
