Arc def gpp

[Lc SolidCam]

Hi, i have an problem with turning arc generating output.
This is not working 'K'Zcenter_rel ' ' it outputs K0 don`t you now why?
Heer is my gpp arc def.
@arc

{nb}
if arc_direction eq CCW then
gcode = 3
else ; CW
gcode = 2
endif
if change(gcode) then
{'G'gcode ' '}
else
{' '}
endif
if m_feed_flag eq 1
{'F'feed ' '}
m_feed_flag = 0
else
{['F'feed ' ']}
endif
{['X'xpos ' '] ['Z'zpos ' ']}
if arc_plane eq ZX then
{'I'xcenter_rel ' ', 'K'Zcenter_rel ' '}
endif

endp

If you output the program with "trace" active, what is the value in Zcenter_rel? Look at the other variables for that line then edit your GPP accordingly.

This is a common misunderstanding... Currently the system only uses xcenter_rel and ycenter_rel (xcenter & ycenter) think of them as horizontal and vertical in the turning plane.
{' I' ycenter_rel, ' K' xcenter_rel}
I hope this helps

And big changes to the Tool Libraries too. This last one makes me nervous and i for one will not be upgrading until at least SP2. Mind you, when have SolidCAM ever hit a release date first time (along with nearly every other software company.....)

[KenM@SolidCAMUS]

I am with you... No advertising here just reality... I would hope that SP1 would be pretty good but SP0 is definitely the "Bleeding Edge of Technology" for most softwares... I have worked for a number of software companies and they are all the same... Promote, promote, promote and then pray you can deliver somewhere close to scheduled release... We will see what really happens with 2011 but it does look promising.
