How can I seperate these two Comments?

[JerryBenoit]

Hello All,

 

How can I seperate these two comments?

 

O3091(PART NAME)

(VERSION-)

(SAVE 03091.L14)

(CUSTOMER & PART NAME)

(SK# OPERATION SKETCH)

(CNC-014)

(PREP & ROUGH TURN 1ST OD)----- WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO ------

M05

G0G54X6.2Z.595

 

These two comments are manual text as comment then the operation comment.

does anyone have any ideas? I see that in the post they both are under pcomment2 one is found on the NCI file lines 1005 and the other is with the 1008.

Do a search this has been asked before. I can not remember if we found a way or not.

instead of output the 1005 or 1008 comment via pcomment2, save it to a custom string and then output the custom string whenever/wherever you would like.

Start here & follow it thru the various threads:

To All,

 

I just recieved this from my reseller on how to get Manual text and OP comments to seperate. He also stated that I should post this just in case anyone else wanted to know how it can be done.

 

It works great thanks Steve, you guys at S4A are great to work with.

Jerry,

 

Here are the edits to have manual entry come out in header and op comments to stay with the tool change.

 

 

 

Initialize a numeric variable like below;

 

sof : 1 #Flag for start of file

 

 

 

Initialize a string with no value like below;

 

#Address string definitions

 

sopcomm

 

 

 

Move call for comment$ to header section.

 

 

 

For Mill posts, in psof$ use below instead of comment$

 

pbld, n$, *t$, sm06, ptoolcomment, e$

 

sopcomm, e$

 

 

 

For Lathe posts, in ltlchg$ change comment$ call to;

 

ptoolcomment

 

if sof, sopcomm, e$

 

else, comment$

 

 

 

For Mill posts, add to bottom of psof$ section

 

sof = 0

 

 

 

For Lathe posts, add to bottom of ltlchg$ section

 

sof = 0

 

 

 

In the pcomment2 section add or change logic for gcode$ equaling 1008.

 

pcomment2 #Output Comment from manual entry

 

if gcode$ = 1008 & not(sof), “(“, scomm$, “)”, e$ #Operation comment

 

else, sopcomm = “(“ + scomm$ + “)”

Yeah, cuz' I was pounding away setting up a buffer to pull the comment out and store it. I had it pretty much done and then Steve forwarded me the same email.

 

His way is a WHOLE lot easier

 

[JerryBenoit]

You have to say John,

 

 

his is easier.

[crazy^millman]

Thanks for Posting that and thanks to Steve for allowing it to be shared. It has been added to my Mastercam book.
