Derrick,
I'm not familiar with B rotation and I'm not 100% sure of your problem but double check what work plain is active for
the different operations. To change the CS to your user defined CS, group all
the work on one tombstone face then edit-property change-workplane.

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Toolplane Coding
Hello all.
First I would like to thank you all for the help I have received with this
forum thus far. The information found here is most benificial.
On to my question: I am new to the 3D World of FFM. I am programming a
Horizontal mill with a tombstone. i was originally creating separate programs
for each face on the tombstone and merging the code together to form one
program. The parts I am machining have origin located in different locations
on each face of the tombstone. I created new work/tool planes approximately
in the WCS where they would correspond in space inside the machine. I have
geometry on all faces but I can't get the code to output with the XYZ
coordinates relative to the new planes I created. The code generates values
from the WCS. I have the B rotation working in code, the G codes for my work
offsets and the positions have the correct xyz relative to their plane
orientation.
What am I missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Derrick
