we have ver. 8.1.1 now

in contour they now have stock to leave xy &

Parameters:

10010 stock to leave (XY)

10069 stock to leave Z

Following is an example of how to read parameters from mp.hlp

Ex.

NCI line

20004

1.1 2.2 3.3 4.4 5.5

test1 : 0

test2 : 0

test3 : 0

test4 : 0

test5 : 0

pparameter

if prmcode = 20004, test1 = rpar(sparameter, 5)

In this example, test1 = 1.1, test2 = 2.2, test3 = 3.3, test4 = 4.4

and test5 = 5.5.

Is stock to leave in Z #10069 or #10068?

Did they change it?

[Robby GM]

Z stock = 10068

[gstephens]

Sorry about that. I must have mis-typed.

10068 Stock to leave Z

10069 Keep tool down

Help --

ok - I like this idea of outputting 'amount of stock to leave' in the NC program but I can't seem to follow the instructions. Please give more info. I read MP.hlp and in the post set 1501 and 1502 to 'y'. I can't find 'param_read'. What's next??

Thanks, BerTau

Mpmaster on this site has stock left comments for surface/solid machining. You can use the structural rough out to capture other parameter information.

Thanks, I will check out MPMaster.pst
