Space after M01

[Doug Funny]

Greetings Experts!,

I want to add a space after the M01 on subsequent tool changes. I got it to do it after my safety line but, cannot find where it puts the M01 in between all other tool changes.

I'm using the mpmaster post

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this method of adding a blank line > " ", e$

However, it does add an extra ASCII blank space character to your NC Program.

An alternate method of forcing the empty line, is to omit the string literal, and just "force" the end-of-line command (*e$)

 if prog_stop = 1, pbld, n$, *sm01, e$
 if prog_stop = 2, pbld, n$, *sm00, e$ <<============ after 

*e$      #<======== That will force a blank line, with no space character.
