A quick fix is to set all your tool radii to 0. A longer fix that could be written into a macro:
1. Group the centerline toolpath. 2. Wall offset the grouped toolpath left or right (depending on the desired tool offset) by the radius of the tool using the Group Wall option. 3. Delete the active group using Group Delete. 4. Group the offset toolpath using Add Named Group (GET_GRP) function. 5. Property change the grouped geometry to the desired tool and offset direction. ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 12:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mfg-smartcam] ADV Turn, rough turning... Just thought I'd ask a question for those in the know: #1. Why does ADV Turn code tool radius center? This is quite a pain when we need to change tool radii on programs - must re-program. #2. Is there a macro "out there" that can alleviate this? (BTW, my "to do" list includes writing that macro, unfortunately it's priority number eight hundred and fifty-seven!)
