I don't see where you are getting that. I tried it in v8 and v9.1 and I don't see my tool info being copied. How exactly are you transforming your toolpath?

I've run into that !!... Ended up putting my

comment in its own op. a manual entry. then remove the comment from the op being transformed.

hth..

These post changes will allow you to filter out duplicate (COMMENTS)

*Be sure to save a backup copy of your PST FIRST!

 

 

Alter these postblocks in MPFAN.PST ->

---------------------------------------------------------

 

code:

---

pcomment        #Comment (must call pcomment2 if booleans)

pcomment2

 

pcomment2 #Comment output

scomm = ucase (scomm)

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

else, "(", scomm, ")", e

 

 

 

 

To look like ->

-----------------

# Need to declare a couple string variables

s_newcomm sblank # String variable to hold 'current comment string'

s_oldcomm sblank # String variable to hold 'prior comment string'

 

pcomment #Comment (must call pcomment2 if booleans)

pcomment2 # Jump to this routine to see if to output the comment

 

pcomment2 #Comment output

s_newcomm = scomm # Copy the incoming COMMENT string

s_newcomm = ucase(s_newcomm) # make it UPPERCASE

scomm = sblank # MUST kill is original incoming COMMENT string

if (s_oldcomm <> s_newcomm), # Is different?, then output it...

[

if gcode = 1007, "(", s_newcomm, ")"

else, "(", s_newcomm, ")", e

s_oldcomm = s_newcomm # Remember the COMMENT string output

]

 

-------------------------------------------------

NOTE!

If the (COMMENT) is the same from one tool to the next tool

across a ToolChange that COMMENT will NOT output on the new Tool

, unless... You make a slight change in the PTLCHG postblock ->>

-------------------------------------------------

 

ptlchg #Tool change

pcuttype

toolchng = one

if mi1 = one, #Work coordinate system

[

pfbld, n, *sg28ref, "X0.", "Y0.", e

pfbld, n, "G92", *xh, *yh, *zh, e

]

pbld, n, "M01", e

pcom_moveb

c_mmlt #Multiple tool subprogram call

s_oldcomm = sblank # kill the saved prior comment string <*ADD*>

ptoolcomment

pcan

... rest of the original postblock ...
