Changing G68.2 (Fanuc Tilted work Plane) format to "A" moves

Anonymous — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 16:23:18 GMT

I'm working on a modifying a 4-Axis post which is currently outputting in G68.2 format for tilting the work plane.

What is the modification to have "A" format rotary axis moves posted, instead of G68.2? (for an OpenCNC controller)

Thank you....

There should be a setting into your post called "useMultiAxisFeatures":

var useMultiAxisFeatures = true;

please set it to this:

var useMultiAxisFeatures = false;

...whoops.... now the backplot is showing no rotation...

I need the multiaxis moves, but output as "A" commands, not the G68.2

I have the "A" moves in the posted output, but the backplot is not showing the tilt.

Is there a way to backplot this accurately?

You have to setup the machine into the backplot now.

Can you recommend backplot settings for a standard 3 axis mill,

with a 4th axis mounted on the left side of the table, rotating around the X ?
