    Multiple Work Offsets X3

    i am trying to setup 2 work offsets,i clicked on the planes tab and checked the box for work offset and inserted 0 in the field.

    i was under the impression that would automatically add the g55 along with the g54 when i posted.

    seems this tab only specifies the work offset.

    how do i use the transform function to machine 2 parts at a time with 1 tool change?



    in the past when i experimented with transform toolpath function,i didnt like the way it changed tools completed 1 part then went to the other part.

    must be something small i am overlooking.

    thanks

    Try using the WCS button. copy your top wcs then add 0 for g54 and 1 for g55.

    I hope that helps.

    Timmy you are good this way, but as Donwayne stated one op needs "0" for g54 and the other needs "1" for G54
