X8 mill.set setup sheet question


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

 

I have been updating my .set setup sheet for several versions using update post. For X8 I decided to start fresh with the mill.set that came in with the install. I would like to take out duplicate copies of tools and combine the time and minimum z to one output per tool number (unless I force a tool change in the tool path). If I take out the "if op_id$ <> prv_op_id$, ptlchg$" line from ptlchg0$ there are no duplicate tools but the min z outputs in order like the null changes are still there so instead of this:

 

T12  #5 Centerdrill Z-0.2850 1m
T20 1/4" x 1/2" CARB .03 CR Z-0.0700 2m
T20 1/4" x 1/2" CARB .03 CR Z-0.5620 5m
T111  3/8" x 1.45" x .030 cr.  Z-0.2516 2m
T121  1/4" x 0.95" SGS #36509 .017 cr. Z-0.4985 20m

 

I get this:

T12  #5 Centerdrill Z-0.2850 1m
T20 1/4" x 1/2" CARB .03 CR Z-0.0700 7m
T111  3/8" x 1.45" x .030 cr.  Z-0.5620 2m
T121  1/4" x 0.95" SGS #36509 .017 cr. Z-0.2516 20m
T131  3/16" x 0.95" SGS #36507 .012" cr. Z-0.4985 43m

 

I am hoping that someone has overcome this problem that can help me out or send me a copy of the default version of mill.set that has been changed to work without null outputs correctly. I can zip my file and post it if anyone wants to play around with it, but if the default file can changed I can make my personal changes after or if someone could point me to the code I need to change that would be great too.  Thanks in advance.
