[mfg-smartcam] 4th axis indexing confusion.

[Jon Baker]

In the pursuit of 100% perfect code, I have nailed it now on 3 axis machining, however, when I add the 4th axis, I still have a little editing.  OK, this is a little anoyance, however, lets see what the smartest smartcam minds can do to help out.   Here is my tool change section of my TMP file   //  TOOL CHANGES @TOOLCHG < #FXD> M9 M5  #MOV G28 G91 Z0  T#TOOL M6 (  #TDESC #TLCMT )   M1 #EVAL(#V9=#SPEED+.2) #EVAL(#CYCLE=jos(cycle)) #IF(#CYCLE=3,#AND#TLTYPE=4)<G0 G17 G40 G80 G90 E1 S#V9 M90 M5>#ELSE<G0 G17 G40 G80 G90 E1> #IF(#CYCLE=3,#AND#TLTYPE=4)< G84.2> #IF(#CYCLE<>3)< #SPNDL S#SPEED>  #MOV #IF(#WKSCHG<>1) X#XPOS Y#YPOS A#INDXA #IF(#INDXA<>)< M60 (CLAMP A-AXIS)>  G43 H#LOFF D#DOFF #IF(#WKSCHG<>1)< Z#ZPOS>#ELSE< Z#ZHOME> #COOLNT @   Here is my A-axis indexing section // A-AXIS INDEXING @TPINDX  ( INDEX TO A#INDXA DEGREES)  #MOV #ABSI #FXD  Z#ZHOME(CLEARANCE POINT)   A#INDXA   M60 (A-AXIS BRAKE ON)   Here is the code it is putting out   N112 T3 M6 (  1.234 DIA.

This only happens when I do a tool change AND index to a new A-axis position.  I thought the #IF line in the tool change would catch it, but nope.  What am I missing. Thanks in advance for your input. Jon
