post problem

[hawkeye]

Hey everybody,

I am having a problem with a post that I hope will be an easy fix. The problem is it won't let me post out any facing routines. (I am using v.8.1.1) It says "Selector variable opcode = 19.0 out of range for string select".

The post is for a Bridgeport DX32 control.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

You are using an older post that outputs comments like "2D-contour, Pocket, etc.) Edit your post and look for "sopnote" you should see a table of theh operations. add lines down the left to get to entry 19, (e.g., sop17, sop18, sop19) and put in "Facing" to the right of sop19.

Mastercam used to only have 16 opcodes. Now there are quite a few more.

Good morning,

thanks for the replies. I added the op 19 line but still the same result. Here is what that section of my post looks like:

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Strings - String labels must start with 's' - they are not pre-assigned

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Select operation note

sop00 NULL # String definition

sop01 2D-CONTOUR # " "

sop02 3D-CONTOUR # " "

sop03 DRILL/TAP. # " "

sop04 POCKET.... # " "

sop05 RULED..... # " "

sop06 2D-SWEPT.. # " "

sop07 3D-SWEPT.. # " "

sop08 REVOLVED.. # " "

sop09 LOFT...... # " "

sop10 COONS..... # " "

sop11 TRIM ..... # " "

sop12 FILLET.... # " "

sop13 ROUGH..... # " "

sop14 OP14...... # " "

sop15 OP15...... # " "

sop17 OP17...... # " "

sop18 OP18...... # " "

sop19 FACING.... # " "

sopnote # Target string

fstrsel sop00 opcode sopnote

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there anything I'm overlooking?

Yeah - You're missing Opcode 16.

sop16 OP16...... # " "

oops!

Boy, do I feel real intelligent right about now.

Too early in the A.M. and not enough coffee I guess.

I added that op and it works great now. Thanks.
