Do a search for Multi post. I think it a script of some sort.

It can be done.

 

Our Mpmaster ( http://www.emastercam.com/posts/mpmaster/mpmasterx.html ) post has it roughed in:

 

code:

---

#Launch HTML.set during posting

launch_set : 1 # Autorun .SET Setup Sheet Template [0=No,1=Yes]

sset "MILL.SET" # Name of the .SET Setup Sheet template file to be used

sdll "C:mcamxappsMP.dll" # Name of the .DLL to be called

---

later on this is how we call it, with variables setup at the end of peof$, and called in ppost$ - props to the post dudes at CNC Software/Mastercam:

 

code:

---

      #Multi-post logic

spath_in = spathnci$ + snamenci$

spath_set = spathpst$ + sset

spath_out = spathnc$ + snamenc$ + sextdoc

sparams = ssq + sdq + spath_in + sdq + sspace + sdq + spath_set + sdq + sspace + sdq + spath_out + sdq + ssq

 

ppost$ #Called after posting is complete and all files are closed

result = fexist(sdll)

if launch_set & result = 1, result = dll(sdll,sparams)

Dan,

 

Drop me a reminder next week and I'll hook you up. Also want to talk to you about that Mori.
