If I have a part I would like to batch out with multiple WCS Offsets, how do I do that? I have the toolpath in Fusion creating 4 WCS offsets (G54,G55,G56, G57) paths in the program. Is there a way to handle this with the Onefinity Controller? Not finding anything in the controller, forum or build…

Ultimately I think my question is how do i set the offsets for G54, G55, etc. The camotics documentation references they are valid gcodes and they link to linuxcdc documentation which calls out a var file.

Putting this here for me for next time, or anyone else who wants to batch out parts… Here is a screenshot of what I was going for. I was jigging a single part in the lower left corner and cutting one at a time. This allows me to jig 4 blanks and cut 4 before going back to the machine. [image] […

http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g10-l2 is also a great link for diving deeper into the base supported options in the controller as the buildbotics controller is based off of this.

Hi BJ, this is extremely helpful thank you! I tested my first g-code and found something a bit strange. The X and Y for the G54 are not 0 (see below). That is puzzling to me any idea why that is? N35 G0 X1.9953 Y-1.6669

[image] jtharris: G0 X1.9953 Y-1.6669 Might need more context, but the line provided is simply doing a rapid move to the X,Y specified. I presume this is the first location where a cut will take place? Need to know what occurs prior to really provide more info.

Hi Tim, My apologizes, but I have never read G-Code before. The Original post has N21 G10 associated to the X0 and Y0, but my code does not have either N21 or G10. Would it be easier for me to copy and paste the entire multiple WCS file?

Yeah if you provide the code we can see what it is doing.

N21 is just the line number (not a gcode), the G10 in his specific instance is part of the work offsets commands. So probably unrelated to your code.

[image] Hermsen.BJ: N21 G10 L2 P1 X0 Y0 (N## is line number and may vary - X0 Y0 is initial zero as set in controller) N22 G10 L2 P2 X12 Y0 (X12 Y0 shifts 12 units on X and 0 on Y) N23 G10 L2 P3 X12 Y12 (X12 Y12 shifts the 3rd part 12 units on Y and same X as second part) N24 G10 L2 P4 X0 Y12 (X…

I set this up as one large file. I’m using a master wasteboard based on the Myers Woodshop design with 1/4" mdf spoilboards under the work piece.
I use Carbide Create to set up my files.
