Fanuc G12.1 on Monarch VMC RT

Greetings.

I have been building a simulation for a Monarch VMC RT with a Fanuc 15 control. This machine has C (rotary),Y and Z axes. I selected an existing nc program for this machine as my learning tool (the previous programmer did not use Vericut).  I thought I was done.   Then, I discovered Polar Coord. Interpolation (G12.1/G13.1) in the last cut sequence.  :cry: 

I browsed the library files for an hour, and I found that the Vericut library supports G12.1/G13.1 in turning, but I found no milling files that support this.   So I think I have to grow my own.

My questions are:
1) Does anyone know what parts of the .ctl turning file need to be copied into my Monarch .ctl file?  (I could spend days failing to make this work.)
2) Did I overlook a Vericut libary file, which has what I want?  If so, which one?

No Worries.

Hi Robert, not familiar with the Monarch machine but the use of G12.1 (G112) has been supported for sometime.

All of these macros are documented in the VERICUT on-line help (F1 key to access.
