Using E-Parameters on DMG

Hey all. I was wondering if it's possible to use the E-parameters to set offsets for pickups on my DMG. What I'm trying to do is use one pickup with different offset values, so that I can cut the twelve parts on the tombstone. For example, Part 1 will have its own pickup, "CSys1". Then I input an X,Y, and Z value for the Spindle-to-pickup distance, with X being E175, Y is E176, Z is E177 and so on for each part. Then  when I shift to the next part, I would like to be able to just call up a new set of E parameters and have the machine go to the next pickup. Is this possible in V6.1.2? Currently, this is calling the right pickup at first, however after rotating the table to begin cutting the first part, the Driven point ends up off the pickup, and the tool starts cutting as though the pick up got deleted.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Using E-Parameters on DMG

The best way would be to contact CGTech Technical support. They would be able to review your files and advise of the best method. A lot has changed in the Heidenhain control configuration since 6.1.2.
