Number of Axis

•Select 3 Axis for both 2½ and 3 Axis machining methods.

For all Machine Types, the following General Parameters are available.

Tool Change Point

Specify the X Axis coordinate location of a Tool Change Point or use the Pick button to select a point from your 3D model.  This coordinate location will be output prior to every tool change. Note: Tool change variables may need to configured in your selected Post Processor.

Output all coordinates in local Setup Coordinate System

Check this box to output the G code's tool motion coordinates in the local setup Machine Coordinate System (MCS).  If left unchecked all coordinates will be output in the World Coordinate System (WCS). Note: Rapid motions in all indexed operations are converted to federate motions when the setup is not aligned with the machine Z.  This is done only when a head configuration is defined and the option Output all coordinates in local Setup Coordinate System is NOT set.

Translational Limits

This will be the Minimum X and Maximum XYZ direction Translation Limits allowed by your machine tool. Note: These parameters are not applied and are reserved for future use.
