Cycle definition screwed up in WF3

[marker4x4]

Hi all,

here's my yet another problem:
while posting NC Operation that has been mirrored (Utilities-->Mirror) all my Deep drilling cycles are gone into some PTC abyss.

Example (before Mirroring):

...
RAPID
GOTO / -12.5797251518, -0.9274960039, 0.1000000027
CYCLE / DEEP, DEPTH, 1.200000, STEP, 0.300000, IPM, 15.000000, CLEAR,$
0.100000
...

Example (after Mirroring):

...
RAPID
GOTO / 12.5797251518, -0.9274960039, 0.1000000027
CYCLE / DEEP

...

So, all the cycle parameters (Depth, Step, etc.) are gone. Anyone has any remedy for that?

Thanks in advance

Mark,


Were the mirrors done prior to WF3 or with WF3?

Hi
May be , try new sequence, mirror.
insted of utlities

No, because UTIL->Mirror updates all the "directional" sequences (Trajectory, Profile, etc.) automatically, includes the propre reversal of Lead-In's and -Out's.
For machining the "Left Hand" parts (we do it all the time) it is the dope function, except the darned Deep Cycles.


BTW: Can anyone search the PTC site to see if this issue has been logged yet? We don't have maintenance, so I can't access their database.

Thanks

UPDATE:

I found out that if I Post my MIRROR'ed sequences immediately after UTILITIES-->MIRROR (BEFORE viewing it on the screen, etc.) it outputc correct G83 code for Deep Drilling....
As soon as you Replay the toolpath on the screen, the thing goes haywire...

I hope it helps, cheers
