I've been working on modifying the Southbend Magnaturn post BOBCAD supplies because it's nowhere near correct. I've got it a lot better, but I'm stuck at the OD threading cycle. Magnaturn doesn't use any canned cycles, so everything is line by line, which I'm able to do so far, although I haven't gotten to drilling or tapping yet. Anyhow, I want it to rapid between G33 threading lines. I changed 1092. G32 line move. to: n,rapid_move,thread_g33_xmove,thread_g33_zmove, which works on the first part because it's already in G0, but after the G33 line it doesn't output another G0. I can add a G0 to each line, but I'd rather not have to if there's another way I'm not seeing.
The real problem is in the G33 line itself though. I need to be able to have both X and Z moves on it, but it only outputs the Z move. AND the feed code for the G33 line is a K, not F. It pulls the character from line 1707. Symbol for IPM feedrate? "F" which many other lines use so I can't change it just for threading.
I've attached a sample magnaturn gcode I found. I'm not sure why there aren't any closed brackets, so I'm ignoring that for now. Also, is the gcode my V.34 outputs after my edits, and one from before.
Thanks,
Mike
