Trying to edit a V7 post to do a g84 in tap cycle. currently I get a G80 and no variables. codes like this:

 

( M16 X P2 R.H.TAP TOOL - 3 DIA. OFF. - 3 LEN. - 3 DIA. - 16. )

G21

G0 G40 G49 G80 G90

T3 M6

T1

G0 G90 G54 X0. Y0. S200 M3

G43 H3 Z10. M8

M7

M29

G80

M5

G91 G28 Z0. M9

 

I need it to code like this:

 

( M16 X P2 R.H.TAP TOOL - 3 DIA. OFF. - 3 LEN. - 3 DIA. - 16. )

G21

G00 G40 G49 G80 G90

I'm about to pull my hair out, and I know it must be something stupid that I'm missing.

 

Here's the tap cycle in the post:

ptap #Canned Tap Cycle

pbld, n, "M7"

pdrlcommonb

pbld, n, "M29", e

pbld, n, *sgdrlref, *sgdrill, pxout, pyout, pfzout, pcout, prdrlout,

pffr, e

pdrlcommona

 

 

Any Ideas? Much obliged.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I get the correct output with fastmode set to 0.

 

Sorry.

How about trying an e at the end of your M7 line?

[Nathan G. Baldwin]

actually, I just had the wierdest thing happen...

 

It just printed the G84 for me. No clue why. I'll have to dig for a while to track it down.

Result:

 

Got it. The output call was not following syntax. I moved it inline with the rest of the postblock and printed fine. what a waste of time.

 

Thanks anyway guys.
