Using the standard Haas post in X2.

 

We are looking to start presetting tools and need to get G10 lines at the program start. Anyone know how to get this output from the post, where to put it?

 

We've been just adding it by hand but it would be nice not to have to bother.

 

Thanks for any assistance.

 

 

As a side question what preseters are you guys using? We are using a cobbled together setup now that works but need to get a "real" one soon. I saw the Dorian model for under 3k looks cheap, but may work fine.

Here's a thread on how I do Dave

Alright I saw that post in a search but where in the post do you put this?

if mi5$, g10_output = yes$

if g10_output,

[

tlo_val = hldr_len + oa_len

if t$ >= 0, pbld, "G10 G90 L10", "P",no_spc$*,pnote, *tlo_val, e$

if t$ >= 0, tcnt = tcnt + 1

]

Just so I know I read that thread right and this code right if I flip mi5 on in the tool path menu then it will output the G10 lines?

 

Thanks

The section you pulled out is in the pwrtt section,

 

that allows it to preread and pull all of the information out

If you set mi5$ or any mi$ of your choosing, I chose 5, you'll get the output.

 

Now remember you also have to define your tools as well. Otherwise it will pull the default library info.

 

So having a complete tool library makes this process a whole lot easier.

 

I amaintain a pretty standard library with everything defined, I only wind up altering something in a tool definition once in awhile, I don't save thos back to the library, I leave the definitions in the part file.

Thanks for the help John.

Glad someone could use it

 

[DaveR]

Got one more.

 

When I put the above code into the pwrtt$ section do I delete the following or leave it in there?

 

if tool_info > 1 & t$ > 0 & gcode$ <> 1003, ptooltable

I left it, I the output my G10 info into the tooltable just below the tool description, kind of a one stop look at all the info about the tools.

 

Leaving the tool table in and adding the G10 output will give you this

Once again, thank you. Think I got it now.

 

Let me ask what language is the post written in (so I can go get a book on it)? Maybe learn me a thing or two.

MP,

 

I "think" it is a C derivitive but any basic understanding of how a language is structured should help.

 

A quick look through a basic book might help some
