canned text

[timco]

There was some info not to long ago about canned text. I have been messing with the canned text to be able to insert text messages. like add clamps or remove clamps. I have ran into a wall, I have not messed with this much but i am tring to learn. I have worked on our posts and got them doing what i want and now trying something new with the canned text. I am not sure what i want to do will work but any info on what i am tring to do would be helpfull. Thanks to all the people here for all the great info that is posted in this forum

code:

---

pcomment2       #Comment from manual entry

spaces = 0

scomm = ucase (scomm)

#1005 - Comment option 1

#1006 - Comment option 2

#1007 - Define comment with output line

#1008 - Define NC parameter comment

#1026 - ?

if gcode = 1005, pbld, pspc, "(", scomm, ")"

#if gcode = 1006, pbld, pspc, "(", scomm, ")" #Comments

if gcode = 1006, pbld, pspc, scomm #Codes

if gcode = 1007, "(", scomm, ")"

if gcode = 1008, pbld, pspc, "(", scomm, ")"

if gcode = 1026, pbld, scomm

if gcode <> 1007 & gcode <> 1026, e

spaces = sav_spc

You can use manual entry for this. What I do is go to toolpaths, manual entry, click on "use text file, go to the directory where I keep all my notes like "add Clamp" pick the one I want and it will appear in the text box.

Click on NCI Output 1006, OK

 

Note: make sure you have the correct 1006 code turned on in your post (# sign in front turns line off)

 

code:

---

      #if gcode = 1006, pbld, pspc, "(", scomm, ")"  #Comments

if gcode = 1006, pbld, pspc, scomm #Codes

---

the first line will add (---) to you manual entry lines, the second line will show true code.

I should've also said that you can type the code in the text box also.
