siemens 840d system variables

i'm trying to use the siemens $AA_IW variables in a TRANS to set the current position to zero but the simulation uses the original origin.

TOFRAME
N35 TRANS X=$AA_IW[X] Y=$AA_IW[Y] Z=$AA_IW[Z]
N36  CYCLE81( 0, 0, 0,-1.5387)
N37 TRANS

if i use TRANS  with the actual current position values the simulation is ok

TOFRAME
N35 TRANS X=9.2001 Y=4.0 Z=12.4948
N36  CYCLE81( 0, 0, 0,-1.5387)
N37 TRANS

thanks

Re: siemens 840d system variables

Hi,
The system variables are not correctly read in the control. Please create WordFormat $AA_IW[X] as special > variable name.
Same for Y and Z.
This should be solved in VERICUT7
