    Working with tombstone.

    I'm usally working with AlphaCam and are now testing EdgeCam. When working whith parts at a tombstone i usally move the tombstone to the exact position that I have in the machine. When rotating to different planes I get the right offset put out from the postprocessor. So my question is, How to solve this in edgecam?
    I can't find any parameter in the postprocessor to put out the global machine offset. Or are there any other way to solve this problem.

    Regards Per

    I believe what you are talking about is the Machine Datum. To change this when you enter in Manufactoring and pick you Machine there is a check box for machine datum. With this selected, EdgeCAM will ask to digitize your machine Datum and this will set up your rotation.
