Manual Entry

[Bryan Johnson]

"I always have to edit this to put the comment in the right location"

 

For something as common as a program stop/M00, you may find it more better to use the miscellaneous page to trigger this. That way you can control the locations, and have the format the same every time.

 

You would need to add some logic to the toolchange post block.

Example:

If mi1$ = 2, “M00 (CHECK PART)”, e$

Else, n$, “M01”, e$

 

Mpmaster already has this feature.

I'll agree with Brian.

 

Using comments/Manual Entries, really isn't the best way to handle this. The Misc Value is a much better option.

Our "manual entries" aren't just limited to M00's or M01's....we'll place job instructions there which change with each job.

 

I don't understand how the following example would help me accomplish that.

If mi1$ = 2, “M00 (CHECK PART)”, e$

Else, n$, “M01”, e$

 

I wish that manual entry and operation comments were handled individually in the post.

 

It seems odd that I can't have a perfect post, I must edit something. I'll have to choose between editing manual entries or operation comments.

 

Thanks to all who responded, I appreciate you taking the time.

Add this line in your post:

 

if gcode$ = 1008, "(", scomm$, ")", e$ #Operation comment

***this is sections of my post ......I added this line to for manual entry.

 

if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, e$#Man entry code

ptoolcomment #Comment for tool

tnote = t$

toffnote = tloffno$

tlngnote = tlngno$

"(", *tnote, pstrtool, ")", e$

 

pstrtool #Comment for tool

if strtool$ <> sblank,

[

strtool$ = ucase(strtool$)

"-", *strtool$

]

 

pcomment$ #Comment from manual entry (must call pcomment2 if booleans)

pcomment2

 

pcomment2 #Comment from manual entry

scomm$ = ucase (scomm$)

if gcode$ = 1006, scomm$, e$#Man entry code

if gcode$ = 1007, "(", scomm$, ")"

if gcode$ = 1008, "(", scomm$, ")", e$ #Operation comment <============== HERE

 

#else, "(", scomm$, ")", e$
