HAAS NGC Offsets import

[MrFish]

Does anyone know if its possible and how to modify the  "offsets" file that you output from the "list Program" "F4" file on a HAAS NGC control.

I want to be able to truncate the file to include just the first 30 or so tools. Maybe a few work offsets. If I do modify the file, the control warns me on loading and asks if I want to load it but doesn't change anything. I'm assuming because of a format error.

I've been told by HAAS that you can't do it but from memory I did it at my last place of employment, just can't remember how !!

hmm im not sure but i did see this setting 156 info here https://www.haascnc.com/service/codes-settings.type=setting.machine=mill.value=S156.html, could that be the problem maybe settings 156 related?

- some more info on that setting that i stumbled across https://www.haas.co.uk/resources/better-techniques/control-tips/developing-offsets/

Thanks Josh, this G156 only outputs the tool Length and dia offsets, we like to use the other output as it saves all the tool page info, including tool names, types etc. This is where the savings in time can be found not having to re-enter all that data each time.
