G45 G46

Does anyone know a way to use a G45 G46 Gage offset thru Vericut.
These are applied seperately on a planer move coupled with a "D" Rregister Value.

Below is actual example
G00 G91 G45 X-0. D41
G00 G91 G45 Y-0. D42
G00 G91 G46 Z-0. D01
G92 X0. Y0. Z4

Please don't say use G54 like a normal person, not an option.

Thanks

Hey Rich,
I won't tell you to use G54...I promise, In fact I'm not sure how G54 even plays into this but you have to admit this is one of fanucs more bizzare prep codes (we are talking about a fanuc right?)

I checked out our library and these codes are already supported (under states in word/address). I ran a quick test and they seem to be working fine. Whats not working for you?

Re: G45 G46

I work with Rich just a different div. The original post has to do with a project I am working on to run old NC files in Vericut and they would like to stay with this format on a couple of older machine controls.

I cannot figure out to use a job table and or tool table to work with this format. The G92 line brings the program start to the stated info in that line from where the machine is sitting not from a table.
Here is the beginning of the NC file.
G20
G90 G80 G00 G40 G17 G98
G91 G28 Z0.
G91 G28 X0.
G91 G28 Y0.
M01

(T01_1.25_.015CR_T_CUTTER_1)

Hi dave,
It looks like your asking how to add the D41, D42 and D01 to a table for vericut to use.

Setup > G-Code > Settings 

Add the Cutter Compensation table and populate it with the register numbers and values you want to use.

Hope this helps

Tom,
Thanks for the info. But the G92 line still brings the program start to the info stated in the NC file.

Re: G45 G46

If you want to just ignore the G92 block then you can modify the control
accordingly, is that what you want to do?  You can have G92 call the IgnoreMacro.
