Pulling my hair out. editing V9 lathe post

[Longbow]

Ive attached a section of my program below. The line N1G50X-7.2Z6.75 which I underlined is also needed where I put the blank line below. I only need the x and y referance added on or above the M9 line. Ive been working on this since this morning and still havent had any luck. Could anyone give me some advice... please ?

Where are those values coming from? Is that the home position?

 

The variables [xh] and [yh] should hold the home position values. You need to find the line in the [ptoolend] post block and add the home position variables to the output line. It would look something like this, but this is from an X style post.

 

code:

---

in the ptoolend post block,

 

Look for a line like this:

 

n$, pscool, e$

 

 

And change it to:

 

n$, pscool, xh, yh, e$
