Fine tuning post question (manual entry)

[Smit]

Hi all,

I've been working on one of my posts and almost have it where I want it. Does anyone know how to force the manual entry from the operation manager to post after an M0? Following is the post entries that output the M0 where I want it.

if mi10=zero, n,*sm01, e

if mi10=one, n, "X0.Y10.Z0.E0H0", e

if mi10=one, n, *sm00, e

I would like the manual entry info to post after the *sm00 entry on the third line.

Thanks in advance,

Larry

Are you talking about the manual entry in an operation or the manual entry toolpath?

"comment" drives the manual entry in a toolpath. Not sure off the top of my head how it is handled in a Manual Entry by itself.

Hope that gives you a place to start.

It is the manual entry toolpath that I want inserted, created from the toolpaths, manual entry in the operation manager. Right now it is inserted 5 lines down in each operation. And I can't figure out why or where it is telling it to do that. However,if I could use the manual entry from the toolpath that would also achieve what I'm after. But my preference would be to use the toolpath so that it would be obvious where it is from the operation manager at a glance.

Thanks,

Larry

Got it figured out...pretty simple...

if mi10=zero, n, *sm01, e

if mi10=one, n, "X0.Y10.Z0.E0H0", e

if mi10=one, n, *sm00, comment, e

the comment inserted in there seemed to do the trick.
