view/world coordinate system need answer

[hpmor]

Hi,
I uploaded a solidworks file in surfcam.
Create a new view and set the operation and stock on the new view.
which means the origin also changes.
But when I post the program, it is not right.
For some reason it went back to default view and instead from origin (corner from new view) it starts from the center (might be default world may be).
What should be the reason????

Change the machine datum to the new view but didn't work.

not sure exactly what your saying. But when creating a new view make sure you toggle from world to view. Then go about creating a new view. Make all tooltpaths in that view as well. hope this helps

if i forgot to toggle then will it be wrong?

When I post the program the program is wrong. it takes the origin as the default uploaded model instead of the new view origin (inside the program)

What if I delete the view create new view again and regenerate?
I did that but did not work.

The cview that you created to use as your machine 0,0,0 coordinate system must be active when you select the geometry that will control your nc operations.

A way to double check which cview was active when the nc operation was created, it to go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, NC DEFAULTS, OPERATION MANAGER, put a check mark in front of SHOW CVIEW DESCRIPTION WITH OPERATION NAME. Now when you display the operation manager, the cview name that was active will be displayed at the end of each nc operation description. After this option is set it will only work for any new nc operations created or any you regenerate toolpath and reselect geometry.

With the part your currently having trouble with, you will have to make the 0,0,0 cview that you created the active cview, right mouse click and regenerate toolpath and reselect geometry for each nc operation that you have.

Hope this helps,

The cview that you created to use as your machine 0,0,0 coordinate system must be active when you select the geometry that will control your nc operations.

And... make sure CView machining is active! You need to click the "Coord" button so it says "View", not "World". Otherwise, you think you are changing the active machining coordinate sysyem, but it actually just stays as the original global XYZ.

Unfortunately, if you have created your ops in another CView, you're going to have to regenerate them all one by one, reselecting the geometry each time... Neanderthal...

Another way to work around this would be to take your whole setup and transform it with the ops manager using the "translate", rotate" or "indexed array"... or a combination of all three. It is rather inconvenient this way as well...

To always use construction view coordinates

Go to TOOL; OPTIONS; SYSTEM; STARTUP; put a check mark in front of START IN CONTRUCTION VIEW COORDINATES

Thank you guys. It will help.
