Unable to Generate G83 Codes

Post by MS1552418913 »

I'm trying to drill some holes and I'm having trouble getting VisualMill to output G83 commands. I've never had issues before, but after this update I am unable to post deep drill operations with G83 commands. I've attached a screenshot showing 2 posts from the same .vcp file, using the same post processor for the same operations. The post prior to this recent patch (on the right) has G83 lines, the one I'm getting now (on the left) doesn't. I'm using the default Haas post processor, and It has G83 as the deep drill cycle command but it's only outputting G1 moves now. Is there some setting I need to change?

Thanks for any help

From the screen capture you included it looks like you have "Always output as linear motions" option checked under CAM Preferences - Machining. Please clear this check box and post process your drill operation.
