Wrapped output dialog

Post by Wayne Locke »

I am using the wrapping function for the first time. When saving the toolpath to the Shopbot indexer post processor I never got the "Wrapped Output dialog" as mentioned in the "What's New in 2.5" and, I am guessing, as a result i cannot save a toolpath because I get a window telling me that the PP wraps in the Y and the toolpaths wrap in the X. How do I get the dialog the wrapped output to change this?

As far as I know there is only one Shopbot wrapping PP provided.

This was written by a forum member Randall to suit his own Shopbot and preferred configuration.

I presume you have a different machine configuration so you will need a different PP.

I have written a PP for you to wrap Y values around the rotary.

Until it is tested, I will not post it on the forum. Sent you a PM

Wayne,
It can up when I used the
Mach2/3-WrapY2A ATC (inch) (*.txt)
and the "X2A: , " mm"

None of the other PPs show that screen.
