Multiple wcs offsets?

I have a few operations in a setup. I have edited the setup to machine two work offsets G54 and G55. 

Works fine when you select the whole setup, but if I amend one of the operations and select just that operation to post,  it only machines G54 only and not G55. Any suggestions?

There are two ways to output multiple work offsets. The first and simpler method is through the Setup dialog, where you enable "Multiple Work Offsets". As you found, it only produces them when you select the entire operation to Post Process.

 


EDIT: For some reason, I thought there was a second option when using Pattern, Duplication. Perhaps because I've not had my coffee yet, but I'm not seeing that second option.. 

 


EDIT#2: After some digging, it doesn't appear to function with Pattern. I did find THIS THREAD if you want to vote on improvements to this functionality

Yeah, It's quite annoying when you're halfway through machining multiple WCS and want to make a change to an operation and then pick up from that point. You have to basically start from the very beginning. Huge wast of time!!!

Yep I'll vote on that improvement.

Thanks
