Shop Sabre post edit

[Gloves]

Good afternoon everyone. I am sort of new here, i have been coming here for a few years and mainly i just read when i need to try and figure something out. Today though i am posting to see if anyone can help me figure out how to edit my shop sabre post that i currently have for mastercam so that it places the cutter comp G41 and the G40 onto a different line.

My current issue with the way that it posts out now, is that it places the G41 on the same line as a G1 and so when i try to run that the Shop Sabre errors out saying "Too many Commands" Below is an example of how it posts it currently:

 

G90
S16000
M03
G0 X6.4335 Y5.0435
G0 Z1.5
G1 X6.4335 Y5.0435 Z.82 F100.
G1 G41 X5.7537 Y4.7266 Z.0 F150.
G3 X5.6094 Y4.5 I.1057 J-.2266
G3 X8.5 Y1.6094 I2.8906 J0.
G3 X11.3906 Y4.5 I0. J2.8906
G3 X8.5 Y7.3906 I-2.8906 J0.
G3 X5.6094 Y4.5 I0. J-2.8906
G3 X5.6202 Y4.2503 I2.8906 J0.
G3 X5.7836 Y4.037 I.249 J.0216
G1 G40 X6.0184 Y3.9514
G1 X6.0184 Y3.9514 Z1.5 F100.
M05
G53 Z0.
G0 X20. Y20.

 

As you can see the G41 and G40 are on the same line as the G1. I was able to run the program just fine with no issues when i took the G41 and moved it up 1 line by itself as well as the G40. But I am wondering how or where in the post do i change so that it will post the code out automaticly like that for me each time?

Not knowing what your post looks like I hope this will point you in the right direction.

Note: save a copy of your post and move the (pccdia) to a line by itself in (prapidout, plinout, pcirout1, and phelout) you may also need to move the (sccomp) to a line by itself in (pretract).

I think the real issue is your shop sabre cannot apply cutter comp on a 3d move like your toolpath is currently outputing. edit your lead in/lead out to not use a ramp height and see if that helps.

Thanks for the reply guys, I will take a look and try your suggestion FNMI. Roger as far as turning off the ramp, i really dont want to go that route because i dont want to plunge into the wood.

currently we use visual cad to run the shop sabre and that particular program is no where near as advanced as mastercam. There is much more we can do with mastercam then we can with Visual cad.

 

Ramping into a part being one of them. Reason i asked how to get the G41 and 40 onto there own lines was because the post runs just fine that way, it ramped and it worked with the cuttercomp.
