Conditional "pretract" in post

[?Mark]

Hi all.

Trying to have this:

 

pbld, n$, sgabsinc, sgcode, *sg28ref, "Z0", "M19", e$

 

before every tool change but after last tool I want it to like that (before peof$):

 

pbld, n$, sgabsinc, sgcode, *sg28ref, "Z0", e$

 

 

This:

 

if ttblend$, #Check for last toolchange

[

pbld, n$, sgabsinc, sgcode, *sg28ref, "Z0", e$

]

else, pbld, n$, sgabsinc, sgcode, *sg28ref, "Z0", "M19", e$

 

seems to do the trick except it skips "M19" after a next to last tool also...

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

I usually put a eof_flag in the peof block right before the pretract call. I check if it is set to 1 which it is in peof. And then do your if/else statement. It has always worked for me. I have never used the ttblend$ variable.

Thanks Marc, but you're overestimating me here ...

Tried that but got two line after the last tool: one with and one without M19.

 

Mind steering me a little further?

code:

---

pbld, n$, sgabsinc, sgcode, *sg28ref, "Z0", [if nextop$ <> 1003, "M19"], e$
