Theres no need to shout!

 

....the answer depends upon whether you want MasterCAM to insert them automatically at fixed points in the code (ie toolchanges are popular) or whether you want to insert them manually.

 

As Far as editiors go, well Ive always held Notepad in High reguard as a CNC code editor, sure there are those with special features aimed speifically at CNC editing, but at the end of the day there is nothing as quick, easy, reliable and as accesible as Notepad.

The easiest way is to check and go into the "canned text" box in the tool paramerer page (BLD on)

 

As for the choice of editors, I like the cimco editor.

 

Hope this helps!

carefull with the canned text method, some posts add a set of brackets to the text which wont give you the result you require
