Post processor fails when trying to use Pattern option in Cam with a tombstone

gwshaffer01 — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 20:54:50 GMT

Im using the Tormach post processor to run 1100 series 3 with a tombstone attached to the 4th axis. I can pattern all 4 parts fine (1 on each side) in cam but the Tormach post immediately errors out.

Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks!

I disabled the tool orientation you had in the op because it is not needed in this case. I think the issue was with your work offset. I changed the origin to be model origin and picked the X axis by choosing the Y axis under the origin in the component browser. It posts after that. see attached.
