Tool Comments POST ISSUE

[Dustin S.]

I don't wanna xxxxe up the forum but I want to get this post worked out... we have a big job getting ready to be posted out and the less editing we have to do to the finished code would be great. If youd rather I didn't post multiple let me know ill wait my turn

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

ok problem is i edited the post to only out put the tool number and tool name like so:

code:

---

( T1 | 1/4 3-FL ISCAR )

( T2 | 1/8SHANK .125DIA .0313CR E.M. )

---

but it turns out like so

code:

---

( T6 | 1/8 2-FLUTE E.M. ( T9 | 1/4 X .02R BULL E.M. )

( T3 | 1/4 X 90 DEG SPOTDRILL ( T10 | #38 .1015 JOBBER DRILL ( T11 | 2-56 STI FORMER ( 1/8 2-FLUTE E.M. )

---

and heres the part of the post i edited

code:

---

 ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool

tnote = t$, toffnote = tloffno$, tlngnote = tlngno$

if tool_info = 1 | tool_info = 3,

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

#PUT SCLOSE_PRN THEN COMMENT TO TURN OFF TOOL GIBERISH

ptooltable #Tooltable output

sopen_prn, *t$, sdelimiter, pstrtool,# sdelimiter, tlngno$,

[if comp_type > 0 & comp_type < 4,# sdelimiter, tloffno$, sdelimiter, scomp_type, sdelimiter, tldia$],

[if xy_stock <> 0 | z_stock <> 0, sdelimiter, xy_stock, sdelimiter, z_stock],

sclose_prn, e$

 

pstrtool #Comment for tool

if strtool$ <> sblank,

[

strtool$ = ucase(strtool$)

*strtool$

]

What is the post you are using. Did you make a back-up of the original.

[MasterMindsj]

check you post u must did something wrong there

here is mine this for 3axis Mill

 

 

# Tool Comment / Manual Entry Section

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

ptoolcomment #Comment for tool

# comment$

pcan, *n$, sopen_prn,*t$, sclose_prn, e$

tnote = t$, toffnote = tloffno$, tlngnote = tlngno$

if tool_info = 1 | tool_info = 3,

sopen_prn, pstrtool, " - ", *tnote, " - ", *toffnote, " - ", *tldia$, sclose_prn, e$

pcan, "G0", "G91", "G28", "Z0", e$

pcan, "G40","G80", "G90", e$

ptooltable #Tooltable output

sopen_prn, *t$," - ",*tldia$, " - ", tlngno$, " - ", pstrtool,

[if comp_type > 0 & comp_type < 4," - ", *tloffno$, " - ", *scomp_type, " - ", *tldia$],

sclose_prn, e$

[MasterMindsj]

Remember to space it out right...

[Guest]

Missing brackets likely, look at the logic, you've broken it by commenting out logic and allowing brackets to stay open

 

code:

---

ptooltable      #Tooltable output

sopen_prn, *t$, sdelimiter, pstrtool,# sdelimiter, tlngno$,

----------->[if comp_type > 0 & comp_type < 4,# sdelimiter, tloffno$, sdelimiter, scomp_type, sdelimiter, tldia$],<-----closed after #

[if xy_stock <> 0 | z_stock <> 0, sdelimiter, xy_stock, sdelimiter, z_stock],

sclose_prn, e$

---

code:

---

ptooltable      #Tooltable output

sopen_prn, *t$, sdelimiter, pstrtool, sclose_prn, e$

---

You might try it like this instead.

[Don S at Barefoot CNC South]

Try this

 

Yours

 

code:

---

 ptooltable      #Tooltable output      sopen_prn, *t$, sdelimiter, pstrtool,# sdelimiter, tlngno$,        [if comp_type > 0 & comp_type < 4,# sdelimiter, tloffno$, sdelimiter, scomp_type, sdelimiter, tldia$],        [if xy_stock <> 0 | z_stock <> 0, sdelimiter, xy_stock, sdelimiter, z_stock],        sclose_prn, e$ 

---

Change to this

 

code:

---

 ptooltable      #Tooltable output      sopen_prn, *t$, sdelimiter, pstrtool, e$# sdelimiter, tlngno$,        [if comp_type > 0 & comp_type < 4, e$# sdelimiter, tloffno$, sdelimiter, scomp_type, sdelimiter, tldia$],        [if xy_stock <> 0 | z_stock <> 0, sdelimiter, xy_stock, sdelimiter, z_stock],        sclose_prn, e$
