DefineCsys command

Has anyone used the DefineCsys command in their control definition?  I searched the sample files and found only references in help files.  How do I have the controller file create a Csys "on the fly" while running the machine simulation? :?

Re: DefineCsys command

A CSYS can be defined in the .usr file.   Start Vericut with the DEMO part, save the .usr file to a new name..  If you look for BEGIN_CSYS_LIST, you will find the CSYS definition list.

Commands in the toolpath file can create the CSYS on the fly also.

This is an example of the CSYS creation from the toolpath.   Our post generates the CSYS definitions from the MATRIX definition in the CAM output.

The CSYS is also attached to a component, stock, X etc.  The names need to match in the Machine definition for the MVSTK to work. 

(DCSYS "Default1 Stock 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0")
(DCSYS "flop1 Stock 1. 0 0 7.445 0 0.49014 0.87164 0 0 -0.87164 0.49014 0")
(MVSTK FROM Default1 TO flop1 MVEND)
