Hi there, I'm using build 5.36 of SC2007 with a roland mdx-540 milling machine and for the most part the code generated by the postprocessor is perfect. However, I've noticed that the postprocessor seems to just ignore pauses in drilling operations, so they don't get translated into code. For example, if using the drilling with chip break operation the dwell time parameter has no effect on the final code generated, which comes out looking like this;
%
N0001 G17 G98 G80 G40 G21 M9
N0002 G90
(HOLE MACHINING)
N0003 (DRILL L7, D0.5, A120)
N0004 S11459 M3
N0005 G00 G43 X8.15 Y11.9 Z2. H1
N0006 G73 Z-3. Q0.5 F100. P0500
N0007 X10.45
N0008 X12.75
N0009 X15.05
N0010 X17.35
N0011 G80
N0012 M30 M5
I assume the "P" parameter for N006 is supposed to be the pause, but no value from 5 to 500 seems to have an effect. Have I grossly misjudged the scale of the units used, or is somethingt else at play here? Cheers everyone =)
