Work offsets?

Post by Davek0974 »

Is there a place or way that sheet-cam can take a work offset - G55, G56 ,G57 etc and add it to the start of the code?

I have one job so far the uses a fixture and my G55 offset, i used G55 as Mach3 defaults to G54 so i leave that one blank and use it for the general work.

Ideally I would like all jobs to default to G54 and only this one to be able to set G55 etc.

Adding it manually is easy but if i forget when re-posting the job code it makes a mess and risks breaking a tool etc.

Use the 'Insert code' operation. That allows you to put anything you want into the generated code.
