Postbuilder help. Helix output vs. Linear 1

[Jaydenn]

Hi there,
I am using NX5 and PB 5.0.3.

I need to get the post to output regular helix moves rather than linear moves.

The linear moves are too memory intensive for some of our older controls.

What do I need to look at to get an XYZR move?(or XYZIJK..)

With Post builder there is a custom command available for this called pb_cmd_helix.tcl

From Post builder you can import this to output helical motion.

When you import it read the instructions.

It should be in \NX 5.0\POSTBUILD\pblib\custom_command

Thank you!
I remember it being something simple like that but I could not for the life of me figure it out!

Thanks!
