Proper way to call subs with Mpmaster V9 post?

[Rob @ Target Machine]

I have written a few custom drill cycles to post common G13 routines as subs, but if I translate the part program for multiple work offsets i get garbage posted. I think the problem is how I am calling the custom cycle as a sub.

 

In pdrlcst :

if drillcyc = 9, # G13 - Standard Feedthru

[

psub_call_s

subout = 1

psub_st_s

pbld, n, "G0", *feed_hgt, e

pbld, n, "G1", *depth_1, *plunge_fr, e

pbld, n, "G13", *rad_1, *rough_fr, *comp_1, e # solder well depth

pbld, n, "G1", *depth_2, *plunge_fr, e

pbld, n, "G13", *rad_2, *rough_fr, *comp_2, e # roughing depth

pbld, n, "G1", *depth_3, *plunge_fr, e

pbld, n, "G13", *rad_2, *rough_fr, *comp_2, e # rough at finish depth

pbld, n, "G13", *rad_3, *finish_fr, *comp_2, e # finish feedthru diameter

pbld, n, "G13", *rad_3, *finish_fr, *comp_2, e # spring pass

pbld, n, "G1", *depth_1, *rapid_fr, e

pbld, n, "G13", *rad_1, *finish_fr, *comp_1, e # cut burr at solder well depth

pbld, n,"G0", *clear_hgt, e

psub_end_s

subout = 0

]

In pdrlcst_2 :

#if drillcyc = 9, # G13 - Standard Feedthru Additional Points

if drillcyc > 8, # G13 - Additional Points

[

sub_prg_call = sub_prg_no

pcan1, pbld, n, pxout, pyout, strcantext, e

pbld, n, "M98", *sub_prg_call, e

]

 

Should I put subout = 1 in psub_st_s

and subuot = 0 in psub_end_s for starters?

 

How do I pass my last sub # to use in auto sub suuport(translate by toolplane)?

[Rob @ Target Machine]

I changed to subout = 2. Much better. Mastercam must use sub channel 1 for auto sub support. Still losing track of sub numbers though. I'll keep at it. I'm probably missing something simple.

I gave up on "being compatible" with mcam auto sub support.

 

I coded the post to do toolpath subs + custom drill subs nested in lower level. Much easier if I code it myself. mi triggers control tool subs and custom drill subs. Working very well and much cleaner than mcam auto subs.

Guess I didn't need help after all.

How do I disable those subprogram check boxes anyway? LOL

[Rob @ Target Machine]

I just got the MP Online Reference.

 

sub_op_id is the little critter I'm after.

 

If I work this into my sub method I can now be "compatible" with mcam auto sub output. Only case that comes to mind is depth cuts in pocketing to save memory at machine.
