Call out X,Y plane after toolchange

[Rstewart]

I got bit by the sideways drilling spotdrill yesterday lol.  

After running an engraving path on the rotary the next tool up was a spot drill using G81.  Well, turns out still having G19 active is really eye opening.

 

I used to run MPmaster post witch would call out the sgplane at every toolchange.  I'm using another one that works with CIMCO probing now that doesn't post out a G17 at every toolchange.  I've looked at the Mpmaster and can kinda see how it works, but I thought I would ask here.  I can go back to my reseller for the update, but I always like to learn more about posts myself.

Thanks in advance for any of ya'lls time

You could try an asterisk In front of the sgplane 

 

*sgplane

Yeah, all that did was add a G17 in the code before every retract.  I just need it called out right after the toolchange.  Like G0 G90 G17 G54 X0. Y0. M3 Etc Etc.

Did you do it in the tool change block? Don't do it in the null or pretract or prapidout

I got it :)

I had to add an *sgplane in the string 

pcan1, pbld, n$, [if gcode$, *sgfeed], *sgcode, *sgplane, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout, pfcout,
        *speed, *spindle, pgear, [if gcode$, *feed], strcantext, e$

 

Now I get a plane callout on every toolchange line
