You can try checking the tool orientation (cut direction) in the threading section of the template file using jos data tag "ornttn". The values for ornttn are as follows:
0=down and left 1=up and left 2=down and right 3=up and right 4=down 5=up 6=left 7=right You could use logic similar to this: #IF(jos(ornttn)=6)< G32>#ELSE< G76> ============================================= Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.highsteel.com <http://www.highsteel.com/> ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 11:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mfg-smartcam] scroll threading Hello, i am trying to get Smartcam to produce a scroll thread using G32, thats what the machine calls for. now I have it set that treads are done with a G76 which is great in most casses but I can't figure out how to get smartcam to use to G32 code, The only way I can get it to work is if I change the smf file, I want to be able to do it with out having to change anything, please help Kevin Brown Brck University Canada _____ ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
