Op #'s

[Metal_Eater]

Can someone give me a complete list of ops used in post files, like op04 is Pocket, op 19 is Facing.

I am looking for op #'s for rest mill, leftover, circle mill toolpaths.

Thanks

Using Mp.hlp, search on 'opcode' and 'tool_op'. Also search Mpmaster for 'stoper' to see how to pull out the toolpath description to use as a string.

Damn, Luther. Now I got a headache! Did you have to be so thorough?

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Luther,

You still missed the opcodes, you know, opcode3 = drilling, etc.....

[s0l0seven]

question, whats this " op " stuff???

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Internal stuff that defines everyting in Mastercam. It's things that you'll never need to ever know about unless you get into heavy Post work or writing C-Hooks.

That's the simplified answer. Bullines I'm sure could go into great detail about it. Bu I'll keep it short.

[s0l0seven]

if i wanted to look deeper in to this, like try to write my own c-hook, how could i do it. and what do you use to open up the file to alter op settings

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

s010seven,

Try looking here in these past topics for more information regarding writing out own C-Hooks.

http://www.emastercam.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...ic&f=1&t=000563

http://www.emastercam.com/cgi-bin/ultimate...ic&f=1&t=000606

Also I'll reiterate a point made numerous times. To build C-Hooks, you'll need a copy of Microsoft Visual C++ Version 6.0. This is hwat you'll use to compile. You can edit the *.h, *.cpp, etc... files in any text editor but MSVC++ has some things that text editors don't.

Hoe this helps.
