I have a family of parts to make with hole locations of .001 true position. The cad files the customer sent me is a bit skewed on the locations of holes, they vary from nominal anywhere from .0005 to .00013.

I dont want to have to move all these holes to the correct nominal position with translate or analyze there is way to many holes to do this. Is it possible to have the post only recognize the first 2 places after the decimal only for my drilling ops? Or is there a different way for doing this in the drawing itself?

look for this in your post. these are the options for decimal output

 

 

#Common format statements

fs2 4 1 0 1 0 #Integer, not leading

fs2 5 2 0 2 0l #Integer, force two leading

fs2 6 3 0 3 0l #Integer, force three leading

fs2 7 4 0 4 0l #Integer, force four leading

fs2 8 5 0 5 0l #Integer, force five leading

fs2 9 0.1 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 1 place

fs2 10 0.2 0.2 #Decimal, absolute, 2 place

fs2 11 0.3 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 3 place

fs2 12 0.4 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 4 place

fs2 13 0.5 0.5 #Decimal, absolute, 5 place

fs2 14 0.3 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 3 place

fs2 15 0.2 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place

fs2 16 1 0 1 0n #Integer, forced output

fs 17 1.4lt #Decimal, absolute, four trailing

 

 

then edit this area

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

fmt N 4 n #Sequence number

fmt X 2 xabs #X position output

fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output

fmt Z 2 zabs #Z position output

fmt X 3 xinc #X position output

fmt Y 3 yinc #Y position output

fmt Z 3 zinc #Z position output

 

you can make this

 

fmt X 2 xabs #X position output

fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output

 

to this

 

fmt X 10 xabs #X position output

fmt Y 10 yabs #Y position output

 

to get 2 place output in X,Y,

thanks mayday, ill try that out now

[gms1]

that works great, is there a way to make it read 3 decimal places only? That would make it more accurate

[mayday]

use the fs2 11
