Title: Simple threading wizard
Post by: Lawley on March 06, 2007, 03:03:46 PM

Has anybody had problems with the simple threading wizard? When I am cutting threads, sometimes the tool does not retract and then destroys the threads when it returns to the start of the next pass. I have not lost steps as the job continues normaly.

If you post the code it generated I will see if the code is at fault.

Hi Graham I will run the threading again and post the code, as this is running as a macro, I could not see any problem with the post. It also did not do this on every pass, nor on the transition between cutting and the spring passes, but it did do it on every repeat of the job.
