programming bar puller on 2 axis lathe

[honeybunches]

I have never been able to get this right. When I program a bar pull, I go to stock advance but when selecting a tool, there seems no easy way to add a bar puller to the tool list. When I try to post out with an OD tool, it errors out so I end up hand coding the pull.

 

What is the easiest way to get a puller device in my tool list? If I need to draw one up, is there an easy around this? My books do not go into much detail at all on this. I am also unsure if this is even my problem regarding errors during posting. This is a basic Fanuc based Mori slant bed 2 axis.

Draw two rectangles one blue one yellow on level 15. Blue to be the body of the puller, yellow to be the gripper tooth.In the user defined part of tool creation nominate level 15 for your geometry, remember when you create your goemetry think of where the origin is, as this effects the tool position for backplot.Posting will be another issue, so get your tool created first. I have code that works in my post I will foward this on if required.
