    ----- Hole Patterns in Slope Mode -----

    Multus U4000 OSP300-SA

    Hello Men, I've been on this machine 3+ years but unfortunately it's been mostly repetitive turning work with a limited amount of milling other than basic hole processes and junk and stuff. I did manage to finally figure out how to apply cutter comp on endmills successfully all on my own! Anywho I have a part to machine with 390 holes in it, all on 45 Degrees. 39 holes in a line along Z axis, then rotate C axis 36 Degrees and repeat. 1" OD 3/4 ID tube. I'm looking for the most efficient method to program all these damn holes. I've done little to none on the slope stuff, mainly just tinkering in spare time and what not. I'm capable of looping a repetitive operation with simple statements. I do most of my code longhand bc it's generally faster than Featurecam as I do not stay sharp on the CAM software... I have the model loaded and when I run the AFR I'm getting some crazy code that I can tell just no way in hell it will run. So, will definitely get the post worked on soon. I've been doing this over 20 years and I wanna be able to do it without relying on a POS offline computer. Dont have IGF on the Multus but we have a Captain LM370MW with IGF as well as a couple LB15's. The code below is the first hole location all the way around radially that featurecam gave me. Would appreciate any solid and accurate information so I can wrap my head around slope machining and one day hopefully do this crap blindfolded!

    Here is the hot mess i get when i run AFR (automatic feature recognition)

    Re: ----- Hole Patterns in Slope Mode -----

    hy corey i can't check your code, since i don't know multus

    if your code works, then i guess is ok; maybe try to ask for a code sample from your okuma dealer ?

    if you wish, i can deliver you a simple application, built to handle your operation the way you want it; if you can make the machine run, i can help you shorten the programing duration for such operation, or whatever other custom kind; starting from your code, as a template / kindly

    Re: ----- Hole Patterns in Slope Mode -----

    hy corey if you wish/still need, i may try to help, as meanwhile i got into simulations and slope helix, thus aspects related to all those holes of yours

    I 1st dealed with fast restart programs for a part with hundreds of holes, a few years ago, as to shorten cycle time and restore fast from interuption

    Things can be done / kindly
