Has anyone come across any reference info on creating a machine graphic in Code Wizard ( EC 2009 ) ? I have created the machine elements and "assembled" them in the design tree with all axis movements working as expected. When I compile/save and select the new code generator it often comes in with some elements displayed in the wrong positions. The tool is in the correct position even if the spindle graphic isn't, and if I go to the simulator, the tool paths are correct to the model but some machine elements are off dancing in left field while the tool is in contact with the part. I've tried adjusting where the axis origins are defined and also adjusted the origin of any element that isn't displaying correctly but something's still not right. I've tried to determine exactly where a newly defined axis or element is referencing itself to but that seems a bit ambiguous. I guess it's some point on the previously defined elements but doesn't always seem to be that way. I'm hoping there's a quick reference guide available. The machine I'm creating the model for is a DMG DMU50 eco , 5 axis mill. Currently I'm using the Siemens ShopMill for programming but am eager to get an EdgeCAM post working as well. The 4th & 5th are just positional axis, no full 5 axis simultaneous motion on the eco model. If someone has such a post or graphic model they'd be willing to share I'd appreciate that but I also understand if you aren't wanting to give it away. ( lots of time and effort )
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
