First off excellent program . I've searched for a long time for a program that would back plot a macro program.
I've been playing around with this program for a week or so & I have 3 very minor discrepencies.
1. If I specify IPR feed & start the spindle in the main program, when the subprogram specifies movement I get an error "Spindel RPM=0 while FPR is active". I went back & checked the spindle is already active when the subprogram is called.
2. Program flow on G71-G73 Roughing cycles. On a G70 cycle your program will branch to the specified line numbers & then return to execution below the G70 line, just like on the machine. However on the machines (Hardinge T42 with a Fanuc 18T Control), When I run a G71-G73 roughing cycle the the program flow falls out the bottom of the specified line numbers when it finishes, your plot has it returning to execute under the G71.
3. I'm having trouble getting the backplot to display viewport colors when I check color by tool, change at T code.
Like I said at the begining of this post. Excellent product, It will be invaluable for testing out macro programs. When I take my progs out to the machine now I know my math & movements are right.
Thanks for a saweeeet tool
