Sub Numbers

[socaled]

Ive got 4 ops using subs.

All 4 are going to be in the same machine and the operator needs to be able to switch between them as needed.  

I'd like the subs to be

OP 1 Sub 1-6

OP 2 Sub 7-15

OP 3 Sub 16-20 

OP 4 Sub 21-30

of course i can maunally do this but I'd like to be able to post any of these Ops seperately and get the correct sub #'s 

Can i tie the sub#'s to a misc value? or something else?

So I can dictate them from MC

I would like this to be fool (me) prof. Something that's pretty obvious.

If yo highlight every toolpath you want to be part of a single sub, right click, change nc program number; you can change the program number for that group. Do the same thing to change the name to "Sub" whatever. It will stay like that.

I forgot to say I'm using transform to run multipule parts.

This is what I came up with

In transform there is a Custom Parameters button. Bottom Right

I added trans_mi1$ (Custom integer #1) to the program number in psub_call_trans

 

 

main_prg_no$ = main_prg_no$ + trans_mi1$

 

and then changed the text on Custom integer #1 to say " Last Used Sub #"

 

So if you don't use them, it defauts to +0 and nothing changes, the 1st Sub will be P0001/O0001

If you put 6 as the last used sub # then you get P0007/O0007 as ur 1st Sub.

 

Seems to work. If anyone can see a conflict that I'm missing please post it.
