misc reals placement problem

[Tim Johnson]

I'm trying to place mr1 after certain operations which works if I don't have a null tool change. If I do though the mr1 gets placed at the end of the previous operation. How do I fix this?

Note: N144 should be at N168, N168 should be after N192.

code:

---

ptlchg0         #Call from NCI null tool change (tool number repeats)

if mr1 > zero & opcode <> 3, #all non-drilling ops

[

pbld, n, sg00, *mr1, e

]

This is where I put the mr1 call. Is there a postblock for the end of operations instead of the beginning of the next?

[CAM Disciple]

Declare a variable

 

At the ptoolend block,

save the mr1 variable value to the new variable you declared.

 

Use this new variable to do the switching thing at the ptlchg0

Thanks CAM,

 

I put the four lines shown previously in ptlchg0 into ptoolend. Worked great
