changing . NC to .H

[rickcact1]

I need to post out my programs with the .H extension, for the MIKRON that I run. Can someone help me with this. I have been unable to find the setting in the configuration page.

Add the following formula to your post:

 

sextnc .H #file extension

You can change it in your post. Look for the line that says sextnc. Change the NC to an H, or you can change the parameter page when you post each time where it says NC extension.

code:

---

 sextnc      .NC     #NC extension override 

---

look for this in post and change here

Welcome to the forum.

guy, I did a search of "sextnc" and there was none found. I looked through the post one line at a time, and couldn't find anything about extention name, or .NC for that matter. Sorry to be asking about a post. I didn't think it was going to that type of question.

 

Iowajim, where should I add this line to my post.

 

Greg, I am trying to avoid having to change .nc to .h.

Greg,

I tried adding sextnc H to my post, in a place where it is simmiliar to yours, and it came up with an error message. Is there another line I need to add for this to work? Like I said before, I appologize for the post question. Thanks, Rick

[rickcact1]

Check that last reply. I made a mistake. I added a ":" thinking I needed it. got rid of it and it works now. sorry bout that. Thanks for all the help. I'm sure I will have other questions at some point.

Welcome to the forum rickcact1.

I believe you have hiedenhien controller.

[rickcact1]

Thank you for the welcome. Its a pleasure being here!!!!! Yes it is a hiedenhien control. I actually like it better than the fanuc controls. When there is no work for the Mikron, they put me on an old(mid 80's) mori seiki. Its like the dark ages.
