Add Work Offset dialog

Use the Add Work Offset dialog to specify VERICUT work G code offsets, which determines where the G code touch-off points are.

The currently defined work offsets are displayed in the Work offsets section.

To use the Add Work Offset dialog:

  1. In the Offset Name list, select an option to determine the type of offset table to determine the Table name. Select from:
    • Work Offsets — Store the work coordinate system offset (fixture offset) values.
    • Program Zero — Specify the programmed zero location of a G code NC program file, accounting for tool length compensation.
  2. If Work offsets is selected, enter the corresponding fixture offset in the Register field (such as 54 for G54, or 55 for G55)
  3. In the Subsystem field, enter the machine subsystem ID defined in the VERICUT machine file.
  4. In the 'From' Component list, select the VERICUT machine component that represents the From point for determining the program zero offset.
  5. In the 'To' CSYS Origin list, select the FeatureCAM UCS that represents the NC program origin. This is usually the name of the setup.
  6. To:
    • create a new offset using the values you entered, click Add new offset.
    • overwrite the selected offset with the values you entered, click Modify selected offset.
    • delete the selected offset, click Delete selected offset.
  7. Click OK to close the dialog and save your changes.
