    Work Offset Coordinate System G59 Pxxx

    I've got a SprutCam question that I have been wasting way way too much time on.

    I would like to use fixture offsets other than G54 - G59, for example G59 P10. I'm using my Tormach 1100 as a VLathe and have multiple turning tools set up gang style and want to use the extended coordinate system for this project.

    I haven't figured out how to do that with SC7 other than going back and editing the post.

    I wouldn't think SC7 would just support 6 offsets so I'm assuming there is an easy step I'm missing.


    Thanks, Mark...

    Just click the Machining tab, and in the box at the lower left, where it says Global CS, click, and you get a pull down menu, and another button with 3 dots. Hit the 3 dot button, and when the dialog pops up, enter the desired number in the LCS box (i.e. 59.100). See attached screenshot.
