He still does not quite get it ...
"You're moving the view to the part." "The WCS you choose for a machining operation must represent how the part is going to locate on your CNC machine."
LOL ... But is it still the/a fixture offset?
I think You're bit offset to....You're in the wrong forum again now.

Would that be a G54,55,56,57,58 or 59? My fav=3D G53. Secret weapon: G51.1(mirror image on Hurco's) Love those "dear in the headlights" look when the other guys see that. How bout TP :tooling plane? That's MC's "try" at MACSYS (machining coordinate system ) WCS? another MC "nice try" at UCS: Cimatron: User coordinate system. Thats why most MC users just "move/translate" the part to 0-0-0 its just too feek'in cumbersome! Oh lets go "screen combine views" in MC.......... WTF? Why bother with them if you can't handle them? eMC fourm: I feel your pain(slick Willy Clinton), thank god I dont need that shit any more with real CAD/CAM systems like UG or Cimatron.
Oh shit! I'm giving away secrets! Damn! I'll never have job security or make 6fig's like in the 90's!, unless I go to China 9mo out of the year. That aint gonna happen.
JB: no charge. Take the ball & run!
Dude........ Its people helping people, man. Ya, I'd like to help those people driving Suzuki's & Hundi's going
20mph in a 45 zone, barely seeing over the steering wheel - right into the freek'in ditch! There's something to be said about the people & the cars they drive. Oh I cant wait for the first snow fall....... then the fun begins. Its bug eyes & white knuckle time! Hehehehe Oh well.... its just time for me to brush up on my old 1/4mi oval stock car driving skills. Problem is: front wheel drive sucks for that. Ok reverse doughnuts in empty parking lots. I think its hard on the trans/drive train in these POS FWD cars, when you wip the front end around going in reverse, slap it in drive & go forward in a straight line. Oh I miss my RWD V8 Fords............
But jb loves you anyway .
