Need Post Help

[Nathan G. Baldwin]

I need to edit an Analam post to post to the ten-thousanths (.0000) instead of thousanths(.000)on arc moves. Ideas anyone?

 

big Thanks

[Lee.]

It's in the Format Statements section of the post.

 

also, look for fast mode, set to NO and this will tell you where in the post the code is generated.

Yeah, I have the bug statements set to output, but I didn't wat to make the change in the subroutines if I could change it in the format statements.

 

I'll check it out. Thanks

axis words are formatted here using the above

for example X uses format statement 2 , 4 place inch, 3 place metric:

Do you by any chance know which format statement it is and what the value should be changed to?

 

Thanks.

[Charlie Pierson]

is it ok to output to the .0001 on all X Y Z I J K R ??? , if so they should all be using 2

 

ex:

fmt X 2 xabs #X position output

fmt Y 2 yabs #Y position output

fmt Z 2 zabs #Z position output

 

 

more on monday if you need it

gotta go home now
