Anilam post help

[Zoeper]

Hi All.

 

I need an urgent fix to my Anilam post (mpcrug.pst)

All was tuned to perfection and cutting just fine till my (new)HD crashed and i found that my last backup is worth squat.

Drive is in for data recovery as we speak, but i'm not cutting as we speak.

I can do the simple mods to the output code by hand untill i get the drive with my post back (or not)but if i can get it to output arc's properly then i can get on with life while i wait.

At the moment it would output the proper code for an arc, but when you do an arc with one of the x or y endpoints the same as the starting point, it would omit that value.

Example:

-----------------

desired code

g1 x6.883 y-5.106

g2x33.116 y-5.106 i20 j-10

-----------------

output code

g1 x6.883 y-5.106

g2x33.116 i20 j-10

-----------------

It also outputs 4 digits after the decimal, but my machine can only handle 3

 

Can someone please point me to the variables that would remedy this?

I managed to get the decimal places sorted out by changing the values in the FS table.

 

Problem with the suppression of x or y values on arc moves as described above still remain.

 

Any suggestions?

HAve you tried using a * infront of the output variables to force them out?

[Zoeper]

Hi John,

 

Thanks for coming to the rescue!

No I have not tried that. Where in the post file do the * go?

 

How's the notebook going?

Program line numbers also seem to give my machine problems with comms now.

Below is what i have in the post now referring to line numbers. How do i suppress line numbering?

Thanks

Pieter
