John, and any other lathe programmers,
In case you were not aware of this, the initial installation of version 11
turning has the default speed mode set to RPM and the feed mode set to IPM
for all turning operations. This is not what most lathe programmers need and
requires constantly changing the selector switches in the planner.
I don't believe this particular issue was ever addressed with a technote.
These default settings can be changed by editing the JOS default files for
turning. If you have a standard "out of the box" installation, these are the
2 files you need to edit.
c:\sm9\Turn\Josdef\t_inch.def
c:\sm9\Turn\Josdef\t_metric.def
There is one file for inch settings and another file for metric settings. I
strongly suggest you make a backup of each before making any edits. You can
then open the files in Edit Plus, Notepad or any other text editor.
In these files you need to locate the section labeled "step = -5020201". In
that section you need to find the 2 entries "fdmode" and "spmode". Change
their default values from a 1 to a 2, then save the file.
step = -5020201
[
descrip = ""
doff = "JOS(tl_num)"
fdmode = "2"
loff = "JOS(tl_num)"
notes = ""
op = ""
refdia = "1.0"
section = "5020201"
spmode = "2"
tool_assignment = ""
user_name = ""
]
�
You will need to restart the turning application before the change is
effective. This change will not alter existing job files or existing steps,
only steps created after the edit. After the edit all new turning steps will
default to surface feet/meters per minute for the speed mode and
inches/millimeters per revolution for the feed mode.

I hate it when the answer so easy you can't see it.
Thanks for your help.

There is a selector switch in the edit step page of the planner.

How do I get IPR to be output for feed rate. Looked in SMF, should I use JOS
field?
Thanks
