Ignore feed plane output

[mdj6]

I'm new at modifying posts and have found this forum to be very useful. I hope someone can help me modify my post to ignore the Z feed plane output. We use a subprogram to control our Z axis approach and I'd like to modify our post so we don't have to remember to put in a certain feed plane or manually edit our program after the fact. Any insight from the community is appreciated.

Hi, you need to put more data about what you want. If you can copy/paste a code example and highlight what you want to have in a code would be helpful.

Ok here is an example of what we have to manually edit. These Z values are from the feed plane setting in linking parameters. It'd be great if they didn't get posted, or if we could simply turn the feed plane off.

Thanks,

OK, I am now on work so I cannot look at it too much till evening. Then I will try to see. Only that I can say now is if it is in toolpath motion it will need to be set in MC. because post works that it posts toolpath how it is drown in MC window. That cannot be changed in post i suppose, as post is posting all tool motions how they are generated. but as I said I will take a look later

[roland_1]

I saw what its about. This is more problem with MC then with a post. As I supposed you cannot just switch it in a post. Problem is that you cannot switch it in a mastercam. They should have that option during programming. Post doesnt recognize it after toolpath is created. it just post the toolpath from beginning to end.

Only possibility is to put hard code in post to override it. But that is not easy task and requires time. I will sure try to do it durin weekend, as now I dont have a time. so if you want read forum then.

[mdj6]

Thanks for taking some time to think about and respond to my problem.

 

If I come up with a solution I'll post it here so others can find it.

Hi,

I checked a little bit around this. sa I said problem is that MC dont have option to switch it off during programming.

but I found some "messy" solutions with some posts. so you can try to put in "Linking" window for all planes Incremental values format, and for Feed Plane put absolute. And put some ridiculous value that is below all cutting levels. some posts then just ignore that and dont post anything.

 

But if you want you can send me a post and explanation why you want to get rid of that. and I can try to put some code to fix it. But I dont guarantee anything. I only know that I somehow get it in one of my posts.
