need help editing post
we have alot of old mastercam version 7 parts that we need posted for one of our new machines. It is a five axis with a c axis that rotates in the xy plane and a A axis that rotates in the xz plane.
we have severel old post for version 7 but am unable to figure out how to change the way the machine figures the angles.
i thing this line is what is needing changed, but not sure to what
pgetab # Get A and B axis angles
b=90-atan2(vtoolz,vtoolx)
a=atan(-vtooly/(sqrt(vtoolx^2+vtoolz^2)))

A couple questions...
1) Are you still using Version 7 to create programs?
2) What exactly is wrong with the output that you need to change the way the angles are calculated?
-
No longer using version 7, just have bunch of old programs we would still like to make use of. The post i posted is for a machine with a A and B axis with limits set to 25 degrees and are about the x and y plane. I need one to calculate it with the c axis about the z.
