Editing Post Processors

[brockbilt]

I am new to Mastercam. The company I am working for has V8.1. I spend a lot of time editing my programs, How do I edit the post processors. I am used to using SmartCam,It had about 200 questions to answer that would help you get started. The Main thing I need to do is to have an XY in every line even if it has not changed from the previus line.

Thanks..

Mr Bilt,

What controller is it that needs an X Y in every line even if it is the same as the previous? Which post are you using?

Find the format statement for your xy commands, probably fs1 and/or fs2, and put an n after the format assignment.

For example

fs1 X 0.4n

That makes the command non-modal.

Have you asked your dealer to help??

That is a easy change

Search for this is the post.

code:

---

pxout #X output

if absinc = zero, xabs, !xinc

else, xinc, !xabs

pyout #Y output

if absinc = zero, yabs, !yinc

else, yinc, !yabs

---

 

and add a * to xabs and yabs as shown below.

code:

---

pxout #X output

if absinc = zero, *xabs, !xinc

else, xinc, !xabs

pyout #Y output

if absinc = zero, *yabs, !yinc

else, yinc, !yabs
