I want to have my clearance in my program before my first x,y move. Here's what code I'm getting,

 

:G0G90G17G70G94G40

G99

T1M6

G0G90H1X-5.9049Y-3.156S2000M3

Z2.M8

G81Z-.2R0.W2.F1.5

Y-5.656W2.

X-3.4049Y-6.906W2.

 

And here's what I want,

:G0G90G17G70G94G40

G99

T1M6

Z2.M8

G0G90H1X-5.9049Y-3.156S2000M3

G81Z-.2R0.W2.F1.5

Y-5.656W2.

X-3.4049Y-6.906W2.

 

 

 

Here's a section in my post,

":G99", e$

ptoolcomment

comment$

pcan

if stagetool >= zero, ":", *t$, "M6", e$

pindex

if mi1$ > one, absinc$ = zero

if nextdc$ = 7, pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout,

pfcout, pgear, strcantext, e$

else, pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout,

pfcout, *speed, *spindle, pgear, strcantext, e$

pbld, n$, pfzout, scoolant, next_tool$, e$ #"G43", *tlngno,

absinc$ = sav_absinc

pcom_movea

toolchng = zero

c_msng$ #Single tool subprogram call

 

I'm pretty sure that the line/ pbld, n$, pfzout, scoolant, next_tool$, e$ is what I want to move, but I don't know where to move it to or how much of it to move. Please help, thanks.

Try this instead

 

":G99", e$

ptoolcomment

comment$

pcan

if stagetool >= zero, ":", *t$, "M6", e$

pindex

if mi1$ > one, absinc$ = zero

pbld, n$, pfzout, scoolant, next_tool$, e$ #"G43", *tlngno,

if nextdc$ = 7, pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout,

pfcout, pgear, strcantext, e$

else, pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout,

pfcout, *speed, *spindle, pgear, strcantext, e$

absinc$ = sav_absinc

pcom_movea

toolchng = zero

c_msng$ #Single tool subprogram call

I am just beginning to play with posts, I have saved my original post and made another copy in a safe place. I made a single edit to the copy and now i want to change from the original to the new post, but I cant seem to bring it in. Any help would be appreciated.

Ray, you need to go into the control definition and pick the copy post to use for posting. Until you assign it in the control def as a post to use it will not be used. You can look on the web site here for the xxxx about the control definition and machine definition. Linky:

After you do the "add files" thing in the control def, don't forget to select the new 1 from the drop down list in the control def (next to the post processors button) after you close the "add files" window and before you save & exit the control def. I can post pics if you need.

Thanks Brother, took a little bit but i got it.

You will also want to make sure that you import all or some of the pages from the settings for the other post location if you had made any changes from the default control definition settings. This is required because when you add a new post, it will automatically set everything to the default settings. Common changes are arc types, stage tooling, and NC file extensions. Also, make sure you reload the files into the MCX file before posting or the changes will not take effect.
