    bobcad V26 not giving z moves in with contour ramping

    Hi all I have a problem with Bobcad V26 not producing Z helical moves in code when contour ramping but shows it doing so in simulation. I suspect the Post Processor attached.
    Any Help would be appreciated
    The more I learn, the more I find there is to learn
    Regards Nick

    Your machine does not support helical ramping.

    Go to your feature, and under posting select line moves. It defaults to arc moves.

    Look in paragraph 64 mine reads

    64. Arc move xy.
    n, g_arc_plane, g_arc_move,x_f,y_f, z_f, arc_center, feed_rate

    Bet you dont have z_f
    should work

    add x_f to paragraph 65 and y_f to 66 incase you use slice plainer with odd lace angles with arc moves.
