MPFAN Post Edit

[Jim at Gentex]

I know this is relatively simple, but I would like if someone could explain how to do it. I'm kinda new at post editing, so I thought I'd start out slowly.

 

When I run the MPFAN post, I would like to add the file name to the beginning of the nc program in parentheses to look like this:

 

(filename)

%

G00 G40 G54 G17 G80 G90

T1 M06

G0 G90 X.2875 Y-.498 S1200 M3

...

 

Would some kind soul enlighten me?

Thanks!

 

Jim teh wants to edit the post w/o screwing it all up!

pheader area

you may be able to move the file name above the %

sign

from this:

 

...

"%", e

*progno, e

"(PROGRAM NAME - ", sprogname, ")", e

...

 

 

to this:

 

...

"(PROGRAM NAME - ", sprogname, ")", e

"%", e

*progno, e

...

When you say filename are you talking about the file path (c:nc602-342 op1.nc) or nci name (602-342 OP1)?

 

for nci name;

code:

---

pheader         #Call before start of file                         

if met_tool = one, #Metric constants and variable adjustments

[

ltol = ltol_m

vtol = vtol_m

maxfeedpm = maxfeedpm_m

]

result = nwadrs(srotary, cabs)

result = nwadrs(srotary, cinc)

result = nwadrs(srotary, indx_out)

 

"%", e

spaces=0

*progno,"(",sprogname,")", e #<<<<<< this will add nci name after program number

---

I don't know how to put in the file path. (never tried)

sorry, forgot to mention you'll find that bit of code by doing a search for (the postblock) psof and scrolling down a little ways.

 

back up your post also.

Thanks guys.

 

I have a long cycle time today so I thought it would be a good day to learn this.

 

Thanks Steve...I think you nailed it.

[wtsylvester]

Damn it's early
