O/T CimcoEdit whitespaces

[chris m]

Hey Cimco jockeys

 

I fooled around a little with this and couldn't figure it out [maybe I stewpid?]:

 

Is there a way to configure the Insert Whitespaces function to stop Cimco from putting a space before the pound [#] sign?

 

My program has this: X#101

 

Cimco keeps doing this: X #101

 

Can this be modified?

 

Thanks

Chris are you getting this when you send back to Cimco or are you getting this when you post a program from Mastercam to Cimco?

[chris m]

Ron I'm getting it when I open up a program that we send back from the machine [current HACK DNC system deletes the whitespaces]

 

Where are the CIMCO guys on this one..?

Anthony Graves did re-appear outta no-where recently!

Just curious Chris,does it only happen on a specific machine or all of them.

He's not with them anymore; too bad 'cuz he was a cool guy to deal with...

 

I only use the macro that requires this on a couple machines so that's where I have the problem; my POS software strips spaces no matter what..

 

We just ordered DNCMax so in a few months we'll be STYLIN'

Yes,I kinda figured this not seeing it on his avatar.

Still doesn't mean that he couldn't give ya some advice here.

It's not like all of a sudden he forgot everything just cause he moved on....

its up in the NC functions toolbar. Turn off insert white space after. i think this is whats doing that it

[chris m]

I don't have that in my NC Functions toolbar; just block number setup. I believe that only effects whether Cimco puts a whitespace after the block number; nothing else?

Why am I thinking that this is something that needs to be changed in the control params?

No definitive solution but - I would look at the following

 

Transmission, DNC Setup, MachineTab, Setup, Receive, And toggle the settings on the Remove Characters. The default that I have is set to None and I wonder if there are some funky characters that the machine is throwing out that need to be stripped.

 

My only other solution is the old Search and Replace where you search (X #) and replace with (X#) but this isn't the right solution , only a Work Around.

I'm not using Cimco for transmission right now so its a matter of inserting the spaces when I need to edit or examine a program for some reason; makes it easier for me to decipher..

 

I do the 'Replace' method now but it is a PITA

 

Thanks for the suggestion, though

-but it is a PITA

 

Is this what you mean??

That's Pain In The A$$ to you non-Americans

I just got DNC MAX also!

Hope to have it up and running by middle of next week!

WUHOO!

No more communicating with 1 machine at a time.

THAT is a PITA!

Now I just need to figure out how to drip feed to my Okuma mill without spending the 5K for the option.

It's too bad they put that as an option because that control processes the code pretty fast.

Thats twice today I've gotten this...

[chris m]

Still no help..?

 

Guess I'm stuck

 

Jeff, if you don't have DNC-B in your Okuma I think you're screwed. Okuma control upgrades are f-ing $$; aren't they?
