    Multiple coordinate systems

    How do you set up multiple coordinate systems for two vises?

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings,

    I would set vice one to G54.

    Then, move over and set vice two to G55.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Yes. I don't know how to do this. I'm a Mastercam guy and just starting with Surfcam. In Mastercam I'd just drop a WCS on the 2nd vise.
    I can't find a way to do this is Surfcam. I have yet to find any documentation on it either.

    Thanks for the reply.

    You post the *.inc twice, one in G54 and one in G55. then using the EditNc, open the G54, place the cursor at the end of it, go to "File", "insert" and pick G55; all done.
