MPMaster quesiton

[jeff]

I'm trying to clean up my MpMaster.pst.

In the tool list there are too many spaces and on a half-screen it spreads it over 4-5 lines.

 

For example:

 

code:

---

(T1   -  5/16 CARBIDE SPOTDRILL - H1   - D1   - D0.3125")

(T2 - .531 OSG CARBIDE DRILL - H2 - D2 - D0.5313")

(T3 - .656 CARBIDE DRILL FOR H-13 - H3 - D3 - D0.6563")

(T4 - 3/8 DRILL - H4 - D4 - D0.3750")

(T5 - 3/8 LONG REACH VARIMILL - H5 - D5 - D0.3750")

(T6 - 1/2 VARIMILL - H6 - D6 - D0.5000")

(T7 - FULLERTON 2 FLUTE 90 DEG - H7 - D7 - D0.5000")

(T8 - 1/16 BALL ENDMILL - H8 - D8 - D0.0625" - R0.0313")

---

I want this to look like:

 

(T1 5/16 CARBIDE SPOTDRILL H1 D1 D0.3125")

(T2 .531 OSG CARBIDE DRILL H2 D2 D0.5313")

etc....

 

Where else should I be looking besides my ptoolcomment?

 

code:

---

 ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool

tnote = t$

toffnote = tloffno$

tlngnote = tlngno$

tldianote = tldia$

"(",pstrtool,*tnote,*toffnote,*tlngnote,*tldianote,")", e$

---

[gcode]

do a search for "ptooltable"

[Brad Lisle]

try looking under ptooltable

 

code:

---

 ptooltable # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative

tnote = t$

toffnote = tloffno$

tlngnote = tlngno$

spaces$=0

if t$ >= zero,

[

if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", *tcr$, punit, scomm_end, e$

if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, scomm_end, e$

]

#if t$ >= zero,

# [

# if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", *tcr$, punit, " - ", popnote, scomm_end, e$

# if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", " - ", popnote, scomm_end, e$

# ]

#if $t >= zero,

# [

# scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, scomm_end, e$

# ]

#if t$ >= zero,

# [

# if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *tnote, " ", *toffnote, " ", *tlngnote, " ", *tldia$, " ", *tcr, punit, " ", popnote, scomm_end, e$

# if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *tnote, " ", *toffnote, " ", *tlngnote, " ", *tldia$, " ", popnote, scomm_end, e$

# ]

dang gcode beat me by seconds

[Rob @ Target Machine]

ptooltable. There are several different output styles commented out. In your case, maybe just change the " - " to whatever you want for a delimiter. Maybe " ", "-", or "|".

 

Edit: Every all together now. LOL

 

Brad - Can you make the page a little wider?

[jeff]

I have no problem with the "-"

I just want to get rid of the excess spaces.

 

code:

---

 ptooltable # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative

tnote = t$

toffnote = tloffno$

tlngnote = tlngno$

spaces$=0

if t$ >= zero,

[

if tcr$>0, "(",*t$,plistcomm,*tlngno$,*tloffno$,")"

if tcr$=0, "(",*t$,plistcomm,*tlngno$,*tloffno$,")"

]

# " ", *tldia, punit, popnote,

#if t >= zero,

# [

# if tcr>0, "(", *tnote, " ", *toffnote, " ", *tlngnote, " ", *tldia, " ", *tcr, " ", popnote, ")"

# if tcr=0, "(", *tnote, " ", *toffnote, " ", *tlngnote, " ", *tldia, " ", popnote, ")"

# ]

spaces$=sav_spc

[jeff]

Should I be looking here?

 

code:

---

pspace     # Creates spaces based on tool comment length

" "

counter = counter + 1

 

ptspace # Creates spaces based on tool number

if t$<10, " "

 

phspace # Creates spaces based on length offset number

if tlngno$<10, " "

 

pdspace # Creates spaces based on diameter offset number

if tloffno$<10, " "

---

[Brad Lisle]

in the " - " get rid of the spaces like "-" remember in "" everything is outputted, spaces included.

[Brad Lisle]

sorry for the wide code. Blame it on in-house. I copied it directly from their post.

[jeff]

Ya know... here is a hint..

If you're editing your post and it's not working right, make sure that you are editing the same post that you want to edit, instead of a different one.

Yes, that's what I've been doing this entire morning.

I need a beer.

[Brad Lisle]

that usually helps. Its kinda early for a beer but then again its friday.

[jeff]

thanks for the help!

[shazam/TPP]

never to early, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

[MotorCityMinion]

Jeff. What was the solution? I use MPMaster as well and spend too much time cleaning up that stuff.

Well, after I finally edited the correct post I just modified the ptooltable section and it worked fine.
