More misc integers and posts

[Bob W.]

I have a few more questions regarding misc integers and posts.

 

1. What section controls what happens after a toolpath operation? It seems that the tool change sections control what happens before an operation.

 

2. G187 Pn Ennnn In a Haas control sets the default smoothness and corner rounding values. I am trying to set this up in my post as misc integer and misc real number and I am getting close. I want this feature to be operation specific and restore the default (G187 P2 E.05) when the operation is done. I added this to the null tool change (ptlchg0) section and it posted the G187 command at every depth cut and multipass. What am I doing wrong?

 

I appreciate the help and as you can see I am pretty new to post development. I have the lines of code pretty well figured out and I move them around the post and check the results in my NC file, basically trial and error. Now that I have been programming and running my machines for a few years (3) I am getting a feel for exactly what I want and need in my post. Time to put in the effort and make it happen :-) Not always easy though...

 

Thanks,

Bob
