HSM Works 2017 - Turning Handoff Operations

[electromechanica]

I have been starting to mess around with some of the new functionality included in the beta release of HSMWorks 2017, sub-spindle handoff in particular.  

I am not sure if I have found an issue with these operations, or if I just don't understand yet how the developers intended this to operate.  

In the attached file, I have set the Feed plane for the secondary spindle grab at .100" from the face of the part.  

However, when I post out using the dump.cps, cycle.feedPosition is showing a value of .5375"

I would expect this postion to be 1.60", based on my WCS.  I have not yet been able to figure out where this .5375 value is coming from.  

@fonsecr , any suggestions, or have I found a bug?

@AchimN Pretty sure this mean every post out there will need to be changed right?

@Laurens-3DTechDraw for people using the "old" stock transfer operation, more or less yes.

@AchimN @fonsecr In that case a sticky topic in the post and support section might be a good idea.

I'm having the same issue, I'm now on HSM2017 and can't bar pull. (Fagor Gang Lathe)  My bar pull was pretty custom to start with, not sure what to do other than copy and paste old code to the posted code. 

What cycle do we use now? 

Is there a post with bar pull working I can use code from?

@tacticalkeychains, did you get your post corrected?

[tacticalkeychains]

No 😳

Ok. Please send your post to cam.posts@autodesk.com and we can review it. I want to make sure I didn't break backwards compatibility more than required. Depends on which kind of edits you have made to the post.
