Thanks!

in replaced the pdrill$ call in misc2 with pgundrill and placed the postblock pgundrill right after misc1

 

code:

pmisc2$          #Canned Misc #2 Cycle (User Option)      pgundrill 

 

and right afetr pbore2$

 

code:

pgundrill      pdrlcommonb      drill_speed = dwell$      start_hgt = peck1$      drill_feed = peck2$       pbld, *sg01, start_hgt, *feed, e$      pbld, drill_speed, e$      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sg01, pdrlxy, pfzout, *drill_feed, strcantext, e$      pbld, n$, sg00, *start_hgt, e$      pbld, n$, *speed, e$      pbld, n$, sg00, clr_hght, e$      pcom_movea

 

I also changed this at the bottom of the post in the "old" text section

 

code:

[misc2]1. "Gun Drill"2. ""3. "Drill Speed"4. ""5. ""6. ""7. "Drill Start Height"8. "Drill Cycle Feedrate"9. ""10. ""11. ""

 

and cchanges this in the drill cycle descriptions at the bottom

 

code:

8. "Gun Drill G01 Feed"

 

 

 So did you put those into the Custom Parameters? Or did you modify the normal Parameters?  I am trying to do something similar with my YCM post.

No...this section here will re-label existing dialog boxes only when the cycle is chosen

 

 

code:

[misc2]

1. "Gun Drill"

2. ""

3. "Drill Speed"

4. ""

5. ""

6. ""

7. "Drill Start Height"

8. "Drill Cycle Feedrate"

9. ""

10. ""

11. ""

The problem I am having is that I don't know what the Post Processor recognizes from what Mastercam defines.  For example, In the Cut Parameters page for the Peck Drill Cycle, it only uses the first Peck variable, so I know what the PP calls that.  But what does the PP refer to the Subsequent peck variable as?  Same for Peck clearance?  If I know that, then I think I can get it.  Or do I only need to reference what I am calling those spots? If I am using Peck to tell me Pilot Depth, do I just call it Pilot Depth in my PP lines?  That's what's hanging me up.
