I presume this only works IF you keep your .PM4 graphic and job files updated to any manual edits that occur to the coded file in the machine control.

Make a few job files (tool lists) and save them in a directory. Once you get them made, all you have to do is load the HMC.jof into the VMC model. Save the part under a new name and then process code. This should take care of all of your problems. I have 30 different job files that I use, and if each machines template file is set up properly you can just change the job files, save the part, then process code. Works in 90% of our applications. We run both HMC's and VMC's. I hope this helps. At 07:00 PM 11/17/01 -0600, DRFrye wrote: >I'm looking for a program to rotate an existing g-code program.
