Operation Comments and Group Comments

[chipmagnet]

IS there a way to break up the comments?

 

I am trying to get my Group comment to output in my header section, yet it posts along with the operation comment from the 1st operation.

Yes, (of course... )

In the first section of the post declare a string:

sgroupcomm # string for GroupComment

 

In the pheader$ section, anywhere you want to output:

"( ", sgroupcomm," )", e$

 

and in the pmachineinfo$ section (somewhere end of the post):

if prmcode$ = 19248, sgroupcomm = sparameter$

 

 

Make sure that in the pprep$ sectiuon calls rd_md$

Something like this:

rd_md$ #Read machine definition parameters

 

It's my solution, HTH

Thank You

Sorry, correction...

 

This line give you back "Group Name"

if prmcode$ = 19248, sgroupcomm = sparameter$

 

 

But this one give "Group Comment"

if prmcode$ = 19111, sgroupcomm = sparameter$

 

( I use both to identify a job/NCfile... )

[chipmagnet]

I have it formatted

 

sgroupcomm with the rest of the strings

 

I have "(", sgroupcomm, ")", e$ in the pheader section

 

and at the bottom of pmachineinfo$ info

 

if prmcode$ = 19111, sgroupcomm = sparameter$

 

I can not get it to work

Did U check the pprep$ pre-postblock?

Is it calls rd_md$ ?

( rd_md$ will call pmachineinfo$... )

[chipmagnet]

code:

---

pprep$          #Pre-process postblock - Allows post instructions after the post is parsed but before the NC and NCI file are opened.

#DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OUTPUT TO THE NC FILE IN THIS POSTBLOCK (OR ANY POSTBLOCKS YOU MAY CALL FROM HERE) BECAUSE THE NC OUTPUT FILE IS NOT YET OPENED!

rd_cd$ #Read CD Parameters

rd_mch_ent_no$ = 0 #Read only the machine base parameters (use to collect common parameters from CNC_MACHINE_TYPE)

rd_md$ #Read machine definition parameters

---

Yup

Try this in pheader:

 

pheader$ #Call before start of file

rd_tlpathgrp$ #add this as first line

"%", e$

sav_spc = spaces$

[chipmagnet]

My thoughts exactly

 

 

Thanks for the help BTW

[chipmagnet]

code:

---

rd_tlpathgrp$ #add this as first line

---

That is what was missing.

 

many thanks

Your welcome!

Another (last) idea: simply try to call pmachineinfo$ in your pheader$ section (at first line).
