Option File Generator HelpMULTAX
Most machine tools support hardware cycles (G81 etc) only in the XY-plane or in 3-axes mode as set in the cycle panel G-code section. If your machine is a 4/5-axes machine with rotary table, the GPost will rotate into XY-plane automatically for any tool axis. In this case, leave the 1st setting to "Same as 3-axes mode".
If your machine has rotary head or you want to switch to a software cycle in MULTAX/ON mode, then you can select the "Mixed mode" and then set the desired option for various tool axis input. If your machine tool supports hardware cycles (G81 etc) in YZ and ZX-plane cycles, you can also set them in this panel.
Under MULTAX and soft cycle simulation mode, the retract motion was output as G01 Max feed block for safety reason. Now there is an option to output this as G00 block. New flag IMULSCRET at INTCOM(4355) controls this option:
0 = Default, output G01 Z Max feed
1 = Output G00 Z
