serious dolphin turn issues
« on: February 02, 2012, 02:47:04 PM »
i cant get dolphin to do the simplest thing. ???
the preview shows exactly what i want to do. i even took out some tasks to make it simpler.
the g code it makes is useless and looks like a child just jammed on the keys. :'(

Sounds like you inadvertantly loaded some of my hand coding.  ;D
Have you had this working well previously ?
Using the correct PP ?

i have yet to do anything. this is the first thing and it is chocking?
 i got 4 pp's to use and they all murder it.
i am using the raidius mode on machturn and dolphin.
i would like to go incramental on the mach too. not the home thing

this is a simple 6 tool gang lathe
tool 0 is a stop and x/z zero
1 is +1.5"
2 is +3.0"
3 is +4.5"
they are all 1.5 on center.
i type in the offsets in dolphin and use only front tool post in the settings.

i tryed to use the front and rear tools too but that just dropped me in the 7th level of hell on dolphing and machturn. LOL
i have a good handle on all of the coding and such but for the life of me i cant get the dolphin to play nice. lol

I only have the demo so I cant do much here, but I get an error ...Contains invalid path.
I'll have to watch this as I'd like to buy Dolphin....if Hood still likes it that is.
