OLD Mastercam x6 issues
So this probably won't get many responses as this software version is pretty old.
Posted a program yesterday Op1 and Op2, both set to work offset -1 (first available), posted both out as G55...? Ok... changed them to offset 1 and 2 (54 and 55), then it posted them both as 54?!? WTF? Ok... whatever...
Last night talking to a co-worker turns out my X was off .500 on a hole position. OK, check this morning, make sure my plane is correct, yep, hole is where it is supposed to be. Post again and yep, it posts .500 different than where it is in cam? Checked and the datum is correct (0,0) What the hell?? Any ideas? Non-critical part so I could upload a file if someone wants to look (if I can figure out how to do it here LoL)

Meow that’s weird. I’d like to have a look at it. I’ll pm you an email address to send it to.

There is a tick box to lock on first woff. I dont remember where it is.
found it
its in my post "mpmaster"
# mi9 - Lock on First WCS - Set in first operation
# 0 = No
# 1 = Yes
I guess this is not your issue.

If it's like X4 then sometimes it will just post to the wrong offset, just because. The workaround for us is to go into WCS and change the offset for the plane you are working in, regenerate the tool paths, then switch everything back how you want it. Then to make double sure go through your ops and set them to the correct planes.

Not sure I follow? Are you talking about this page?
Normally I don't have to mess around, I just change (when needed) top to 1, etc. Most of the time I let the setup guys do find and replace at the machine if they want/need to do a different offset. With the exception if I am setting up a program to run multiple vises, then I will do it on my end. Never really seen a problem before, I don't know if my file got corrupted in some weird way or something...

I never used X6 so I don't know if it's the same look as X5 or now. But it's on the Misc Values page inside of each toolpath.
UNcheck the box that says "Automatically set to post values when posting, and one of the Misc Integers should have a box for "Lock on First WCS[0=No,1=Yes]"
