Format Statements in the post? Your machine must be deadly accurate

[chris m]

Change the formats from 2 or 3 to 19 (at least that's what they are in my post):

 

fs2 19 0.5 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 5/4 place

 

fmt I 19 iout #Arc center description in X

fmt J 19 jout #Arc center description in Y

fmt K 19 kout #Arc center description in Z

 

.1 micron control baby!

Chris

what do you have the tolerances set to in the CD?

[chris m]

I'm running 9.1 baby; no control def here. I have the system tolerance in the post set to .00001

[Tony35]

hmm system tolerance in the post i will have to look for this

just to see what was getting output i forced trailing but I & J still at 4

dont know why they are not getting forced to 5

Tony, in your post look for the parc postblock, do you see a bunch of "newfs(two, iout).

 

It is reformatting those variables right before the output happens, I commented out that portion of the post just to see what happens, I got it to output the 5th place but they are all 0? Looks like maybe a fmtrd called somewhere else...

 

Hopefully someone a bit more seasoned will chime in to help you out.

[Tony35]

Keith

i will look into that and see what happens

thanks for the idea

[Tony35]

Keith

that worked perfect

thank you

Tony, Glad you got it, but I would get a 2nd opinion on it. Maybe send the changes into your reseller to make sure it's all good. Rounding of your variables is a pretty big deal in my book.

 

LOL, Splittin tenths, hats off to you!!!

the code looks good so im going to run with it and see what happens

if the machine reads in 5 place why not do it

we have some parts here that are crazy tolerance so if i can split tenths i will for the cam curves i do i dont want any rounding plus SGI likes points lots of points

thanks again Keith i would have never looked there
