lathe post question

[YoDoug®]

This is the code I get for threading cycles

code:

---

N118 G32 Z0. E.03125  

---

This is what I need.

code:

---

 N118 G32 Z0. F.0312 

---

I need to change the E to an F and to limit the feedrate to 4 decimals.

 

Where in the post controls letters assigned to feedrates

 

Thanks in advance

Well seiing how MPFLAN is using feed to control that wierd you are getting E. Look to see what this is set to in your post also put this part of your post as well.

code:

---

fmt  F  18  feed        #Feedrate

 

pthrg32_3$ #G32 threading third

copy_x = vequ(x$)

pcom_moveb

pcan1, pbld, n$, sgfeed, *sthdgcode, pxout, pyout, pzout, pcout, pffr,

strcantext, e$

pcom_movea

prv_gcode$ = m_one

Change this:

 

code:

---

pfr_l           #Format feedrate for lathe

if opcode$ = 104,

[

#Format feedrate for lathe thread

result = nwadrs(stre, feed)

result = newfs (19, feed)

]

else,

[

result = nwadrs(strf, feed)

result = newfs (18, feed)

]

---

To:

 

code:

---

pfr_l           #Format feedrate for lathe

if opcode$ = 104,

[

#Format feedrate for lathe thread

#result = nwadrs(stre, feed)

result = newfs (19, feed)

]

else,

[

result = nwadrs(strf, feed)

result = newfs (18, feed)

]
