Im trying to get Mastercam 2022 generic post to correctly post out text notes in the fagor format Example  (MSG" TOOL 21 " )  The way it is posting now is ( tool 21) . Can anyone tell me how to add (MSG" ")   too all text lines?

Thanks for any help

Nowhere near enough information.

Which Generic post? 3,4 or 5 axis?

Give an example of what you have and what you want in code.

A copy of the post if you have made any changes would also help.

I assume when you say Text you mean comments, which ones do you want to modify: tool comments (?), operation comments?

What Post are you starting with?

The variables for "comment start" and "comment end", are typically:

sopen_prn & sclose_prn

or

scomm_str & scomm_end

 

Example, change from this:

sopen_prn    : "("   #String for open parenthesis "("
sclose_prn   : ")"   #String for close parenthesis ")"
To this:

sopen_prn    : '(MSG" '   #String for open parenthesis "("
sclose_prn   : ')"'  #String for close parenthesis ")"
 

Example, change from this:

scomm_str : "("
scomm_end : ")"
To this:

scomm_str : '(MSG" '
scomm_end : ')"'

But the question remains of all comments are needed to be displayed as a bar message on the screen, which stays active until a new message is called for.

 

Other way to add the comments are by:

Thanks for the input I have part of the comments working. I have another bigger issue at the moment.  The machine is a fagor 8055 lathe we have mounted a second turret on the table. The new turret always cuts on the negative side of the X axis. I'm using the generic MPFAN post that came with  mastercam 2022. I have changed the line 

dia_mult     : -2     #Multiplier for output on X axis (Neg. switches sign of X) 

So it is now posting out with negative X moves. I also had to switch the G2 & G3 directions. My problem is its posting out positive numbers for the I and K moves for the G2 & G3 arcs. Can anyone tell me what to change in the post to reverse the I & K values to negatives? 

Example its posting  G02 X-11.1242 Z-.0259 I.0172 K.0261 

Needs to be  

G02 X-11.1242 Z-.0259 I-.0172 K-.0261 

Thanks for any help I'm pretty stuck

Is G11 not a better option?

It  mirrors the x-axis
