    Work Offsets in Multiple Fixture

    When I use the MF option to setup two different parts it will not put the G54, G55, G56, etc in the txt file. The simulation in FC switches between each fixture and you can see the Fixture ID change in the Operations List in FC, however it never shows the G55 in the txt file. I end up going through and manually entering this and it will play just fine on the mill (Hurco Winmax). Is this something that will need to be changed in the post processor or am I doing something else wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Tim

    Hi Tim - I had same problem. You need to mod your post to use multi fix (if not already). I found this works best with work offsets starting at G505, G506, G507 etc. Mark
