Hi @tcmachineA8BU8 

Thanks for posting.

The turret numbers for each tool used in a turning operation must be properly defined. This is done in the "Post Process" tab when setting up the tool in the tool library.​ 

The number entries are as follows:

• Main Spindle = 0
• QCTP -X = 101
• QCTP +X = 102
• Gang Tooling -X = 103
• Gang Tooling +X = 104

The NC Codes generated by using the centroid post are attached. 

Regards,

Pramod
