Too many digits when defining

[killall-9]

I have an issue with my post, i cannot have a G code X,Z, and F on the same line or i get an error

 

e.g.

 

N146 X-1.6568 Z2.9787 F.005 is no good

 

N146 Z2.9787 F.005 works fine

 

Is this an issue with my post or a program option i can change.

That's a formatting edit needed in your post.

You should discuss the issue with your reseller, they can either help you with the edits or talk with you about getting a custom post.

 

or,...... you could try to edit the post yourself

I have edited posts before, with help from people here on the forum. Im not sure how complicated thsi modification would be.

what post are you using,

what is correct format for your machine,

what toolpath did you use to output the current code,

This is for a fa gor 800T control on my Lathe, I'm using an updated version of MPMASTER from Mastercam9 which i updated for X4. Im just wondering why mastercam spits out the feed on every x z movement. Could it not be modal like the attached file. Part2 is my x4 (updated) posted program, Lathe sample is my program posted from MAstercam9 with the same post.

The easier way to compare outputs is to post code using the same file, that way you'll be able to see the exact differences going from one version to another. You said this is a post that was updated from McamV9,... did you correct the issues that were reported in the update log file?

Alright, i've dealt with the transferred parameter errors. The last tidbit which is troublesome is the exit movements on an internal boring/threading operation.

How can i swap those Z and X rapids

This is how I deal with order of events:

prapidout	 #Output to NC, linear movement - rapid
 if zabs >= prv_zabs,
 [
 pcan1, pbld, pexct, psgcode, pwcs, pzout, pscool, strcantext, e$
 pbld, psgcode, pxout, e$
 ]
 else,
 [
 pcan1, pbld, pexct, psgcode, pwcs, pxout, pscool, strcantext, e$
 pbld, psgcode, pzout, e$
 ]

 

If Z goes positive, Z moves first. If Z goes negative, X moves first.
