Spiral wrapping

Post by mezalick »

I'm trying to work with the spiral wrap option in Aspire.
The post processor I use is the Camaster x-a
This is what I get.
SEE LINE 21


N1 [3D Roughing for 2 color column]
( Diameter = 6.000 in. )
( Wrap X Values around Y axis )
( X Values are output as A )
N5 G90
N6
N7 M5
N8 G53 Z0
N9
N10 [End Mill (0.5 inch)]
N11 T1 [ GET TOOL NUMBER 1 ]
N12
N13 S12000 [ SET SPINDLE SPEED RPM ]
N14 M3 [SPINDLE ON]
N15 G4 X4
N16
N17 G53 Z0
N18
N19 G00 A0.000 Y0.000
N20 G00 Z3.750
N21 G00A-3963.487Y0.108Z3.750

It spins like a banshee
Shouldn't it be G00A-360.000 ?????????

next 2 lines before it starts cutting
N22 G01Z2.850F300.0
N23 G01A-185.619F500.0

And further down, many more times.

N71 A-367.683
N72 A-370.053
N73 A-372.028
N74 A-372.817
N75 A-373.212
N76 A-3960.000
N77 Y0.199
N78 A-405.992
N79 A-405.597

Any Help???
