It has to be a number between 1 to 999999999, no decimals because it's a motor pulse count.

You can use the Spiral Plugin driven by the Geometry. You need to define the Profile in the X-Y Plane using the line and arc as if you were going to create a revolved surface or solid, then select...

Glad I can help. As far as I can tell NCPlot updates and improvements are not being made, It's too bad because It's a great programming tool.

I have found that checking "G00, G02, G03 are non modal" in the control settings will show all the tool path without inserting a G0

Post your code, there may be something there, or calibration may have to be redone. If the tools are off the same amount calibration is needed otherwise it's most likely in the code.

If you insert a G0 before the Z0.25 it will work

Is this what you're trying to do?

G20
G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90

G43 H6 Z.25
G99 G81 Z-.045 R.25 F1.

Sorry I missed the x-y plane test. The numbers for the Z positions look correct, but it looks like if you use K-261.404 that would work which would seem that in G18 mode the arc center K is added to...

It seems to me the arc centers are absolute. Try specifying I,J,K's in relation to the work offset.

Try putting a G18 after the first G03

It's GeoEdit Project in your Geometry Plug-Ins

without a print or geometry It's hard to help. from what I see the math is wrong.
try this code and see if it works for you.

Check to see if Solidcam will output arcs when calculating tool path, otherwise you'll have to convert them yourself.
this tool path was easy to convert. This is the first slot:

Your first program you say doesn't rotate the spindle and there is no tool change. It doesn't make sense since M3 S6000 works in MDI
If M6 T_ is the problem then the program should stop on that...

The difference between /M3 S6000 and M3 S6000 is that a slash in the beginning of a line will be ignored when Block Delete is on. (a button or switch on the control)

no cutter comp

is the control in metric?

The one your looking for is GeoEdt-Split using equally spaced with a value of 2
If you don't see that maybe you need to activate the geoedit.dll in plugin manager.
you'll need to restart Gibbs to...

Good catch, overlooked that, thanks

If your setting the tool radius in the tool offset page then I would modify the program like this

O01230
(X-0 Y-0 MACHINE SIDE LEFT CORNER)
(MACHINE RUNNING IN ABSOLUTE INCH COORDINATES)
N005...

add this line after #104 is defined:
#104=RND[#104*10000]/10000
that will round to 4 decimal places

In your program the line:
IF[#104EQ9.525THEN#142=7.5
is missing close bracket before then

Only one type can be used as far as I know.

That is correct

The H value should be X cutting rad. from spindle center (H65. or H65000) assuming your X Radius programming.

The programming dept. should want to modify the tool change macro because it will eliminate the workaround in the post and also work when you call up a tool in MDI. If they won't you try this in your...

you could modify your tool change macro like this:

9026 (M6 CALL SERVO-ATC)
(PRM6086=6)
#3003=1
G90 G53 Z0
G90 G53 A0 Y0
IF[#994 EQ #149]GOTO1
M6
N1

It sounds like your helical plunge feeds & helical angle on the plunge moves need to be adjusted. I would also let your sales rep let you try different tools until you find something that works.
