Initial Work Offset Posting Twice (Multiple WCS)

[Anonymous]

Hello there,

When I post multiple WCS over more than one setup at the same time, it will run through all the WCS in the setup in sequence in whatever way I specify (preserve order, order by op.....) and then it will run the first WCS in that setup again, in full preserved order, before moving to the next setup, where it does exactly the same thing.

For example,

Setup1 runs at G54 and G55 (in preserve order to keep it simple).

Setup2 runs at G56 and G57 (again in preserve order).

If I select both setups at the same time and post it out, it runs as follows: G54, G55, G54, G56, G57, G56. I think I had the same issue with the reorder to minimise tool changes box checked too. 

If I post the setups individually they post out as expected. The issue exists using the Mazak post I've modified and a test done with the generic Haas too.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Dave

Yes Keith, I tried every conceivable way of posting the code before I even started this thread. None of them worked!

Hi Dave,

I will leave this to ADSK then as I don't think there is much I can do to help in this case.

Hello Dave,

Sorry if this is a redundant question, but before adding this scenario to the existing ticket I need to know if you have tried both right clicking a setup (after selecting both setups) and selecting "Post Process All ..." and the second method of pressing the "Post Process" button on the CAM menu?

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

It is I who needs to apologise. Ctrl+left clicking and selecting the setups I need, then right clicking to post, is my usual workflow and it did not work correctly with my old build (I did write the version number down, but it seems to have disappeared. It was a few updates old though).

It seems that with the latest version of HSM installed, the workflow described above does indeed produce the correct, expected output! I could have sworn I tested this method too after I updated, but clearly I was mistaken!

Anyway, thank you both very much for your assistance.

Dave
