Guys. I need to work out how to get x5 to output a stop when it changes from say a g54 to a g55 wcs. Bad to worry about if before but I now have a job that requires a chamfer on both side of the stock so I need the mill to stop so I can flip the stock. I am using that same cutter for both ops.
At the moment it outputs the g55 but nothing to stop the spindle and wait for me to reposition the job in the vice.
Any ideas guys
force a toolchange between ops or program a manual entry M0 ( flip part ) set to output as code
If you add a manual entry ( Toolpaths>>>Manual Entry ) to force an M00 stop as mentioned by cnc-king you actually need to put a check mark next to "Force tool change" on the "Tool" page of the toolpath parameters of the toolpath following the manual entry. Otherwise the spindle will not turn back on.
Thanks guys. The 'force tool change' did the trick. Worked a bloody treat. Cheers
