dwell fmt in post for bore path #1

[Rick46]

I want to change the format in which my post outputs the time in seconds when using the dwell option on drill bore path #1. It outputs P2.0 and I have to change it in Cimco edit to P2000 for my machine to read it as 2 seconds..any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance..

Why change the post?  Just put 2000 in the dwell and be done with it.

I have to modify it where it dosent post it out with a decimal behind the number I post. if I change it to 2000 it will post in the nc code as 2000. and the control errors out and gives me illegal decimal point error. I can probably input 2000 just need to make it not put the decimal behind the number. that's all Im trying to accomplish here by making a small mod to the fmt line of my post that outputs the dwell time. thanks.

Find the line that looks similar to this in your post:

 

fmt  "P" 4  dwell$       #Dwell

 

Notice the number that is orange- it is probably a 2 or 3 in your post. Change it to 4. You shouldn't get the decimal point anymore.
