sav_spc

[Tarheel]

I have read and researched everything I can find and still need help.

What is this: ( sav_spc ) ?

I am having trouble getting the spacing on my post the way I want it.

I changed it in the Control Def. and it has no effect.

I can get spacing to change elsewhere in the program ,except between the actual G and M codes:

 

EXAMPLE

( TOOL - 1 OFFSET - 1 )

( TRL1 - OD ROUGH - CNMG543- INSERT CNMG-543 )

N0110G00T0100

G00X20.Z20.

G92S1300M42

G90T0101M32

G96S750M03

G00X2.9500Z1.5167M8

G01X.7562F.015

G00Z1.6167

G00X2.9500

G00Z1.4733

G01X.7562

G00Z1.5733

G00X2.9500

G00Z1.4300

G01X.7562

G00X2.9500

G00Z1.3300

G01X.7562

G00Z1.4300

N0120

G00X2.7099

G00Z1.5200

G01Z1.4200

G01Z.9131

G01X2.8514Z.9838

M9

T0100M32

G00X20.Z20.

M01

END

 

Is this caused by (sav_spc) or something else?

How do I get it to space as:

(G00 X2.9500 Z1.5167 M8)

Look thru the PST for any spaces$ = ... lines. I'd start by looking in the pheader$ postblock.

If spaces$ is getting set to 0 somewhere (after initialization) that will shut off the output of [spaces].

 

save_spc is a user-defined variable used in some posts to save the spaces$ setting and to restore is "later on". Of course if save_spc is somehow zero, and you have a line like -> spaces$ = sav_spc, you've also shut off [spaces] output.

Thanks for the reply Roger,

I do have several spots in my post like:

spaces$ :2

 

and I have

!spaces$

 

And I have

sav_spc=spaces$

 

Also

spaces$= prv_spaces$

 

And

spaces$_spaces$>0, "",e$

 

But none of them is set to 0 or ZERO

I was able to get some of the spaces I need by changing a couple of spaces$=0 to spaces$=2

but that is as far as I can get.

Any other ideas?

Hmmm...

 

Try commenting out (#) all postblocks that directly assign a value to spaces$

 

-> spaces$=0

to

-> #spaces$=0

 

...and...

 

-> spaces$ = sav_spc

to

-> #spaces$ = sav_spc

 

 

** Of course make a backup of the PST file before making any changes to it!

Thanks Roger,

I'll "give er a try".

 

BTW, since my post has so many instances of

-> Spaces$ or -> sav_spc

Maybe my post is chopped up and has redundant lines.......which are not REALLY needed?

What do you think?

[Tarheel]

Roger,

I did what you advised but no change to code lines.

It did however take out some other spacing such as between text blocks.....

 

Any other ideas?

[Tarheel]

Anyone else out there got any other ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance...
