bug switch for post

[JACK2ME]

Does anyone know how to turn on fastmode in the bug section of the post. This worked fine with previous mastercam.

[Trevor Bailey]

It is in the control def now.

[JACK2ME]

where exactly sorry but just got X.

[dwsz71]

On the NC Output page of the control def.

 

The "Enable post debugging information" check box.

[JACK2ME]

Thanks, found that but post is still not debugging.

[Paul Decelles]

You can also cheat (like I do) and add this to the top of your post (under the first line):

 

pprep$

fastmode$ = no$

 

 

(Do a search for pprep$ first and just add the fastmode$ = no$ in it if it exists)

 

Then you can just comment out the fastmode$ line to turn it off (or delete the two lines altogether when done "tweaking" the post).

[dwsz71]

You have to change it in the local copy of the control def. Expand your machine group in the Operation Manager and click on properties. Click on Edit and change the control def.

 

HTH

[JACK2ME]

Still won't work.

[JACK2ME]

Ok thanks that did it. Thanks to all.

Paul,

I tried your shortcut and can't get it to work. My post is a v9_mpmaster. I turned off the existing fastmode line and then added what you posted. The control def. has the post debug unchecked. If I go through the run around to enable the debug everything works fine but your way would make life a lot easier.

[Paul Decelles]

Make sure fastmode$ = no$ is indented (not in the first column)

 

code:

---

pprep$

fastmode$ = no$

---

Here's what I have;

code:

---

[post_VERSION] #DO NOT MOVE OR ALTER THIS LINE# V10.00 E1 P0 T1144700722 M10.00 I0 

#pprep$

#fastmode$ = no$

# Post Name : MPMASTER

# Product : MILL

# Machine Name : MACHINE

# Control Name : CONTROL

# Description : IHS MASTER GENERIC MILL G-CODE POST

# 4-axis/Axis subs. : YES

# 5-axis : NO

# Subprograms : YES

# Executable : MP v9.17

# Post Revision : 9.1.03296 (MC_FULL.MC_MINOR.YYDDD)

---

Actually everything looks indented with X editor compared to the old CIMCO

Edit: The # signs were removed when I tried.

After getting my head out the my arse.... it works nicely.

 

Thanks

[MichaelBolton]

Just got this to work.

 

Had to open the Machine Definition Manager and then go to the Control Definition, it wouldn't work if opening the control definition directly.

 

Thanks!!

I tried all suggestions in this subject...I can't get my post to debug in X.

 

I c-hooked 3 post.....2 converted fine, 1 is having EOB issues.

 

any ideas?

Look for an e missing a $ or a

e$ missing completely at the end of a line
