I have a copy of Intercon lathe for offline use. However the C axis is not turned on. Any thoughts on how to turn this on?
I have a call in to tech support at Centroid but thought I would ask here until I get a callback.

check out the Intercon section of the CNC11 operator manual. page 93 and 94 talk about programming C axis in Intercon.

Re: Enable C axis in intercon offline?
Your 3rd or 4th axis label has to be set to C and either parameter 93 or 94, depending on which axis is your C axis, will need to be set to 16. Then in Intercon, after pressing F3(Insert)->F10(Other), you should see the F3(C Axis) button which allows you to turn the C axis on and off as well as the F4(C Index) button which is how you can index the C axis.
When requesting support, please ALWAYS post a current report. Find out how to take a report from your Acorn, CNC11 or CNC10 system here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecvg0VJp1oQ.
If your question is PLC, Macro or program related, please also post a copy of the program or macro as well.
Without the above information we may not be able to help and/or reply until the required information is posted..

Awesome! Works just as you both said.Centroid_Tech wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2017 6:12 pm Your 3rd or 4th axis label has to be set to C and either parameter 93 or 94, depending on which axis is your C axis, will need to be set to 16.

I am assuming that a drill function using the x axis must be programmed manually then?
Also, can either of you fine gentleman provide a sample of coordinated movement G code? I can't see any functions in Intercon CAM that will support this. I want to play around with it.
