Bore 2 problem

[gibbs machine corp]

Hello all. I am having problems with the bore 2 cycle in X2. This hasn't worked in any of the X versions I've installed. We are using this cycle a lot more these days so I need to get it fixed. This is what's happening. Lets say I have 3 holes to drill, when I drill them with bore 2, I get this code, G98 G86 Z-1. R.1 F10. followed by holes 2 and 3. It does not post the location of hole number 1. If I change from bore 2 to drill/cbore I get this code, G98 G81 X0. Y0. Z-1. R.1 F10. followed by holes 2 and 3. It drills all 3 holes. I am using the same post just changing the drill cycle. When I look at the post in the editor, I don't see any difference from drill/cbore to bore 2. Here is the section from my post I think that deals with this.

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

 

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

I see a diference.

 

pdrill$ # Canned Drill Cycle

pdrillref

n$, *drillref, *sgdrill, *xr$, *yr$ ,

*depth$, *refht$, pdwell, *frplunge$,e$

 

 

pbore2$ # Canned Bore #2 Cycle

pdrillref

n$, *drillref, *sgdrill, pdrlxyrot, *depth$, *refht$, *frplunge$,e$

 

 

There are no X, Y callouts in "pbore2$"

I am not sure what this is but I think it might be the problem.

 

pdrlxyrot,

 

Try changing it to this.

 

*pdrlxyrot$,

I have never used BORE #2

 

Useing one of my posts I am getting this.

Thanks, Cuda. Your first post was it. I'm off and running.

gibbs,

 

Don't do this -> *pdrlxyrot$,

 

'pdrlxyrot' is a postblock call, so the '*' cannot be used and 'pdrlxyrot' is not a pre-defined postblock, so the '$' should not be used.
