spaces - post variable

[CarbonCAD]

I don't want spaces between variables when they are posted. I though I remember that all I need to do is set the spaces variable to 0, but that is not working. Any Ideas?

 

code:

---

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

# General Output Settings

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

sub_level$ : 1 #CD_VAR Enable automatic subprogram support

breakarcs$ : 0 #CD_VAR Break arcs, 0 = no, 1 = quadrants, 2 = 180deg. max arcs

arctype$ : 1 #CD_VAR Arc center 1=abs, 2=St-Ctr, 3=Ctr-St, 4=unsigned inc.,

#5 = R no sign, 6 = R signed neg. over 180

do_full_arc$ : 0 #CD_VAR Allow full circle output? 0=no, 1=yes

helix_arc$ : 0 #CD_VAR Support helix arc output, 0=no, 1=all planes, 2=XY plane only

arccheck$ : 1 #CD_VAR Check for small arcs, convert to linear

atol$ : 0.01 #CD_VAR Angularity tolerance for arccheck

ltol$ : 0.002 #CD_VAR Length tolerance for arccheck

vtol$ : 0.0001#System tolerance

maxfeedpm : 500 #Limit for feed in inch/min

ltol_m : 0.05 #Length tolerance for arccheck, metric

vtol_m : 0.0025#System tolerance, metric

maxfeedpm_m : 10000 #Limit for feed in mm/min

force_wcs : no$ #Force 'H' fixture offset output at every toolchange?

spaces$ : 0 #CD_VAR Number of spaces to add between fields

omitseq$ : no$ #CD_VAR Omit sequence numbers?

seqmax$ : 9999 #CD_VAR Max. sequence number

stagetool : 0 #0 = Do not pre-stage tools, 1 = Stage tools

use_gear : 0 #Output gear selection code, 0=no, 1=yes

max_speed : 10000 #Maximum spindle speed

min_speed : 50 #Minimum spindle speed

nobrk$ : no$ #CD_VAR Omit breakup of x, y & z rapid moves

progname$ : 1 #Use uppercase for program name (sprogname)

tap_ipr : yes$ #Do G84 tapping using IPR (G95) feed mode?

do_M01 : yes$ #Output 'M01" (Optional STOP) at toolchanges ?

In X4 it is in your control def NC Output, Spaces between NC addresses

Thanks a million. I was getting a bloody spot on the wall from my head.

Just thought I should point this out since it appears in all of our posts (and I believe Inhouses posts since they are based on our posts) since X was released. If you look at the comments at the top of the post you will find the following comment:

 

code:

---

# - Variable initialization with CD_VAR are read directly from CD.  Changing these initial values

# in the post will not effect output. These values are only processed during the update post routine.

---

This relates directly to many of the variable initializations you display above. Like:

 

code:

---

sub_level$   : 1     #CD_VAR Enable automatic subprogram support

breakarcs$ : 0 #CD_VAR Break arcs, 0 = no, 1 = quadrants, 2 = 180deg. max arcs

arctype$ : 1 #CD_VAR Arc center 1=abs, 2=St-Ctr, 3=Ctr-St, 4=unsigned inc.,

#5 = R no sign, 6 = R signed neg. over 180

do_full_arc$ : 0 #CD_VAR Allow full circle output? 0=no, 1=yes

helix_arc$ : 0 #CD_VAR Support helix arc output, 0=no, 1=all planes, 2=XY plane only

arccheck$ : 1 #CD_VAR Check for small arcs, convert to linear

atol$ : 0.01 #CD_VAR Angularity tolerance for arccheck

ltol$ : 0.002 #CD_VAR Length tolerance for arccheck

spaces$ : 0 #CD_VAR Number of spaces to add between fields

omitseq$ : no$ #CD_VAR Omit sequence numbers?

seqmax$ : 9999 #CD_VAR Max. sequence number

nobrk$ : no$ #CD_VAR Omit breakup of x, y & z rapid moves

---

The next note at the top of the post expands on this and relates to variables that are set by MD or CD parameters:

 

code:

---

# - Variable initialization with SET_BY_MD or SET_BY_CD are overwritten in this post by parameter or

# variable settings from MD or CD.

---

These refer to initializations like:

 

code:

---

vmc          : 1     #SET_BY_MD 0 = Horizontal Machine, 1 = Vertical Mill 

rot_on_x : 1 #SET_BY_MD Default Rotary Axis Orientation

#0 = Off, 1 = About X, 2 = About Y, 3 = About Z

rot_ccw_pos : 0 #SET_BY_MD Axis signed dir, 0 = CW positive, 1 = CCW positive

index : 0 #SET_BY_MD Use index positioning, 0 = Full Rotary, 1 = Index only

ctable : 5 #SET_BY_MD Degrees for each index step with indexing spindle

use_frinv : no$ #SET_BY_CD Use Inverse Time Feedrates in 4 Axis, (0 = no, 1 = yes)

maxfrdeg : 2000 #SET_BY_MD Limit for feed in deg/min

maxfrinv : 999.99#SET_BY_MD Limit for feed inverse time

maxfrinv_m : 99.99 #SET_BY_MD Maximum feedrate - inverse time

 

stagetool : 0 #SET_BY_CD 0 = Do not pre-stage tools, 1 = Stage tools

use_frinv : no$ #SET_BY_CD Use Inverse Time Feedrates in 4 Axis, (0 = no, 1 = yes)

Hope this helps stop the head bashing some
