Does anyone else miss having G68 ??? And yes I know it can be done with G10 L2 but G68 is teh industry standard Gcode for that. AND yes I know I can remap teh code (;-)

Just a thought , (;-) TP

Yeah, you're right! I hadn't even noticed, always rotating in Fusion :-(

That's what I was thinking!
I do everything in cam software and a for the most part at the mercy of the hopefully standard post processor to generate usable code for part after part, year after year. I understand and edit code, but only at a minimum. Mostly enjoy the modeling process and making stuff. Not to say I dont also like to follow along on how other people go about coding, making parts , building machines, adapting machines or whatever. Always can learn some tid bit

Does it help if I point out that Mach3 does G68 dead easy?
Thought not. Sorry.

HI Roger long time, Well PathPilot does a coord rotation but it its G10 L2 Rxx instead of G68 Rxx. Path Pilot has proven to be very smooth and fast and very easy on the operator. I can create very dependable user Gcode and Mcodes as needed. AND it does conditional Gcode. What more could you ask for ?? Here it runs 18 hrs days and lights out overnight cutting mold patterens with out even a hiccup. It also has a CALL home feature to call us if it does ever hiccupp. Did I mention the planner actual works and G64 actually will tune teh toolpath. HUM DID I mention that ? don't think so. (;-)

How have you been ? Good to hear from you.

Hi TP

The conditional code bit is nice. I can produce conditional code in Mach3, but it requires some dexterity.
Rotations - both G10 and G68 seem to have the potential to leave one totally confused! I use G68 as the simpler of the two, and I cut air once or twice first. Made some graduated dials that way, with numbers. Very nice.
My machine runs fine. I added water cooling to the spindle: large spindle bearings.

Cheers
Roger
