    Scaling

    Hello,

    We have a new VF-6.
    I would like to use the scale function in my programming.

    After reading the manual and reviewing some examples , I
    added the scaling coding to an example simple program. The machine alarmed out at the scaling coding
    alarm ( 310 invalid g code).
    Eventually gave up and took an example program listed in the manual

    O0010 ;
    T1 M06 ;
    G54 G90 G00 X0 Y0 ;
    G43 Z0.1 H1 ;
    S500 M03 ;
    G51 X1.5 Y1.5 P2.;
    M97 P10 ;
    G28 G91 Y0 Z0 ;
    M30 ;
    N10 G00 X1. Y1. ;
    G01 Z-0.5 F15. ;
    X2. F20. ;
    Y2. ;
    G03 X1. R0.5 ;
    G01 Y1. ;
    G00 Z0.1 ;
    M99 ;

    Still get the same alarm at the scale code.

    Is there a parameter that needs to be set activating scaling?

    Any advise is welcome.

    thanks

    at the haas site the price is " Coordinate Rotation and Scaling $1,295.00 "

    Thanks for the response doc0302 .

    For some reason I thought that was part of the macro option.
    I guess not.

    Thanks

    You can probably turn it on for your trial. Its in the settings.
