Manual entery toolpath

[mktchevelle]

I am trying to isnert a few lines of G-code between toolpaths. The problem is when I post the program my code has ( ) around them. It does the same thing if I check As Code or As Comment.

[doyleg]

it has to do with your post. i had the same prob and had to edit the post. i can't remember what i did but i do believe it is in this forum somewhere. i'll do a search and try to find it.

ptoolcomment #Comment for tool

if tool_info = 1 | tool_info = 3,

sopen_prn, pstrtool, sdelimiter, *tnote, sdelimiter, *toffnote, sdelimiter, *tlngnote, sdelimiter, *tldia$, sclose_prn, e$

pcomment$ #Comment from manual entry (must call pcomment2)

pcomment2 #Required if doing boolean 'if' logic testing!

 

pcomment2 #Output Comment from manual entry

scomm$ = ucase (scomm$)

if gcode$ = 1005, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #Manual entry - as comment

if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, e$ #Manual entry - as code

if gcode$ = 1007, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn #Manual entry - as comment with move NO e$

If your post was updated to VX from V9 or earlier you will have to edit pcomment2 as stated above for "as code" to work.

 

Always back up your post before editing!

 

I had to change mine to read like this:

 

 

pcomment2 #Comment from manual entry

scomm$ = ucase (scomm$)

if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, E$

else, "(", scomm$, ")", e$

I am running a Haas my post is different from yours.Do you know exactley what line to change?

[Michael Sullivan]

I'm running Haas too. Yours should look something like mine.

 

I had to change the 1007 to 1006 and I believe I changed something else in the sequence too but I'm not sure what it was. You should be able to just copy what I posted.

These are the critical lines, with and without parentheses:

 

if gcode$ = 1005, sopen_prn, scomm$, sclose_prn, e$ #Manual entry - as comment

if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, e$ #Manual entry - as code

[mktchevelle]

Thanks for the help it works but, I get parentheses on one line and code with no parentheses no the next.

[Michael Sullivan]

Can you post it so we can see what your getting and/or looking to get?

I have no problem posting several lines of code and comments in parentheses.

[Michael Sullivan]

you are typing the code you want to post in the manual entry dialog box without parentheses right?

[mktchevelle]

I am not using parentheses in the manual entery dialog box. This is what I am getting the machine will read it with out a problem I just always get the code in parentheses also.

Look for a comment$ in your header somewhere as well in your null toolchange. This happens if you are outputting something from the Groups as well as Manual Entry.

[Michael Sullivan]

Can you please post the

"pcomment2 #Comment from manual entry"

part of your post processor so we can see it?

[duatuse]

Does anyone fix error this please help me, mastercam x7 version

 

[Mark VIII]

I generally delete the op comment (1008) parenthesis so I can put the manual codes right in my operation processes. ie:

M00(RECLAMP)

M00(REMOVE PIN)

(FINISH MILL)

I know this is kind of an obvious question, but did you check the box for "post as code"?
