Re: [mfg-smartcam] Cancelling Cutter Comp

Vance,   Why not use Edit - Geo Edit - Lead In/Out to add the required move. I always use a combination line & arc.   Another option: Questions 121 & 122 in your SMF file will automatically add a lead-in/out to any profile that starts or ends with a compensated element. Set 121 to <2> and 122 to < 0.01> (or whatever amount you want to move the cutter when activating/cancelling comp).   Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Vance Qualls To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 7:33 PM Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Cancelling Cutter Comp My HAAS VF-O insists on having a linear move after or on the same line as G40. The code output by SmartCam doesn't give me this. I don't see a question dealing with this in "Machine Define". Am I missing something? If not, is there a way to edit the .SMF or .TMP file to get code "ready to use"?
