# --------------------------------------------------------------------------# Features:
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------# This post supports Generic Fanuc code output for 3 and 4 axis milling.
# It is designed to support the features of Mastercam Mill V9.
#
# Following Misc. Integers are used:
#
# mi1 - Work coordinate system
# 0 = Reference return is generated and G92 with the
# X, Y and Z home positions at file head.
# 1 = Reference return is generated and G92 with the
# X, Y and Z home positions at each tool.
# 2 = WCS of G54, G55.... based on Mastercam settings.
#
# mi2 - Absolute or Incremental positioning at top level
# 0 = absolute
# 1 = incremental
#
# mi3 - Select G28 or G30 reference point return.
# 0 = G28, 1 = G30
#
#Canned text:
# Entering cantext on a contour point from within Mastercam allows the # following functions to enable/disable.
# Cantext value:
# 1 = Stop = output the "M00" stop code
# 2 = Ostop = output the "M01" optional stop code
# 3 = Bld on = turn on block delete codes in NC lines
# 4 = bLd off = turn off block delete codes in NC lines
#
#Milling toolpaths (4 axis)
#Layout:
# The term "Reference View" refers to the coordinate system associated
# with the Top view (Alt-F9, the upper gnomon of the three displayed).
# Create the part drawing with the axis of rotation about the axis
# of the "Reference View" according to the setting you entered for
# 'vmc' (vertical or horizontal) and 'rot_on_x' (machine relative
# axis of rotation).
# vmc = 1 (vertical machine) uses the top toolplane as the base machine
# view.
# vmc = 0 (horizontal machine) uses the front toolplane as the base machine # view.
# Relative to the machine matrix -
# Rotation zero position is on the Z axis for rotation on X axis.
# Rotation zero position is on the Z axis for rotation on Y axis.
# Rotation zero position is on the X axis for rotation on Z axis.
# The machine view rotated about the selected axis as a "single axis
# rotation" are the only legal views for 4 axis milling. Rotation
# direction around the part is positive in the CCW direction when
# viewed from the plus direction of the rotating axis. Set the variable
# 'rot_ccw_pos' to indicate the signed direction. Always set the work
# origin at the center of rotation.
#
#Toolplane Positioning:
# Create the Cplane and Tplane as the rotation of the machine view about
# the selected axis of rotation. The toolplane is used to calculate
# the position of the rotary axis. This is the default setting.
#
#3 Axis Rotary (Polar)
# Polar positioning is offered in Mastercam 3 axis toolpaths through the
# rotary axis options dialog. The selected toolpath is converted to angle # and radius position. The axis of rotation is forced to zero.
#
#Axis substitution:
# Use the Rotary axis substitution by drawing the geometry flattened
# from the cylinder. The rotary axis button must be active for axis
# substitution information to be output to the NCI file. The radius of
# the rotary diameter is added to all the Z positions at output.
#
#Simultaneous 4 Axis (11 gcode):
# Full 4 axis toolpaths can be generated from various toolpaths under the
# 'multi-axis' selection . Rotary 4 axis). All 5 axis paths are
# converted to 4 axis paths where only the angle about the rotation axis
# is resolved.
#
#Drill:
# All drill methods are supported in the post. See Simultaneous 4 Axis.
#
#Additional Notes:
# 1) Disable 4 axis by setting the numbered question 164. to 'n'.
# 2) G54 calls are generated where the work offset entry of 0 = G54,
# 1 = G55, etc.
# 3) Metric is applied from the NCI met_tool variable.
# 4) Incremental mode calculates motion from home position at toolchanges. # The home position is used to define the last position of the tool
# for all toolchanges.
# 5) The variable 'absinc' is now pre-defined, set mi2 (Misc. Integer) for # the 'top level' absolute/incremental program output. Subprograms are # updated through the Mastercam dialog settings for sub-programs.
# 6) Always avoid machining to the center of rotation with rotary axis!
# 7) Transform subprograms are intended for use with G54.. workshifts.
