How to Generate Fine Boring G76

[ScottJohnson]

The bore cycle in Creo Parametric 2.0 only seems to generate CYCLE / BORE which is G85. We need to bore, orient, back-off, and retract with G76. orient_angle and jog_dist doesn't output. Any way other than an Auxiliary Sequence all with CL STATEMENTS?

I think I found an answer myself. I created a custom cycle CYCLE/FINBOR and modified my post processor and the output looks to work.

CYCLE / FINBOR, DEPTH, 0.944882, CLEAR, 0.200000, IPM, 3.300000, DWELL,$

SECONDS, 0.100000, JOG_DIST, 0.005000

GOTO / 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000, 0.0000000000

CYCLE / OFF

and get through the post:

G76 X0 Y203.2 Z-24. R5.08 Q.127 F83.82

N9 G80

I was going to suggest that you might need to do some post-processor customizing, but you've found that yourself. There are a number of things that I've added over the years that could only be addressed this way (like using tool comments to build a list of tools used, etc.) It can be a frustrating experience debugging, but getting the things to work is very satisfying. Hardest part is finding documentation of the functions available.

Do you mind sharing how you modified the post?  By chance, are you using GPOST from Austin NC?

Thank you,
