[Ma...] Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Is there another setting that you can set a position at the end of a program that would override the CNC End Park Position? I received a program from one of our other plants and have set a CNC End Park Position, but at the end of the run it goes to a different position. It will go to the position I set if I "Execute" running a feature. I've been digging and can't seem to figure this out. Can anyone set me in the right direction?

[Ch...] Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 My guess is that their is some hidden PCM somewhere. I would recommend Plan>Advanced>Search Then it shows you every feature with PCM, or whatever search option you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[De...] Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It is also possible someone added a position point in the last characteristic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. I thought about that and didn't find any and even tried adding one myself with no luck. It will go to that position point then travel to the end position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 You should be able to just right-click a space in the characteristics tab (without selecting one of them) choose parameter , post settings and then delete the position?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ow...] Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yeah, that's where the problem is then. They obviously had PCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 So, it looks like I am stuck with this. It is not that big of deal since it's in a position where there is no risk of crashing into anything. It is more of an annoyance as the operators running parts will have to manually move the head after the run to remove their parts. Would be nice if the software will allow you to either remove the position or at least warn you that there is PCM code and a risk of collision. I can have our other plant send me a copy with this removed. Thanks for your help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Open the inspection file with notepad, search for positionCMM and place two front slash // at the beginning. That will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. I couldn't find anything for "positionCMM". When I searched for "position" only there was a #identifier: 'Path CNC End Park Position' and #parkingPosition)) near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Then check the inspset file. Program Pre- and post setting is located there. I see now that the image you posted said program post settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 I found positionCMM in the inspset file, tried adding the forward slashes and it is still driving to that position. I thought maybe I was adding it in the wrong place and tried multiple variations. I actually tried removing the position from that line and still no change. There has got be something else happening. Its weird that the location it drives to is the front right corner of the CMM. It just seems like an odd location kinda in the way rather than out of the way. Thanks for your help trying to figure this out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think you either (still) edited it the wrong way or you haven't edited the correct occurence of the string. Could you post the portion of inspset where the string is and the edited version(s)?

[Ma...] Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. I've tried adding the forward slashes different ways like this... #parameters:// 'positionCMM(350,-350,-200)' #//parameters: 'positionCMM(350,-350,-200)' //#parameters: 'positionCMM(350,-350,-200)'Capture3.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Jo...] Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Could we use PCM function without PCM licence? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. Nope 🧑💻 Try this: #parameters: '//positionCMM(350,-350,-200)' Keep in mind: The code you see in the inspset file is like a "shell" for the actual PCM code. The PCM code is the part between the single quotes. So you have to put the slashes inside the quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
