Lathe Canned Cycle Tip.

[crazy^millman]

I know how much fun we all have with canned cycles and lathe. I ran into a problem today where we were not getting Gcode on every line in the canned cycle. My 1st reaction was to just force out all Gcode. Then I gave it some thought and no I want my Gcode when to come when I need it not all the the time when doing other things long hand. So I changed this in the post and my canned cycles now have Gcode for every line in the canned cycles and only needed Gcode for non canned cycles. Enjoy and hope it helps someone:

 

code:

---

psgcode         #Output the Gcode based on the current plane

if rcc_flg$, *sgcode

else, sgcode
