Question on posting w/ no decimals

[Guyinthedesert]

I find myself needing to program an old 5T lathe. This control doesn't  use decimal points, so you would enter 1" as 10000.  I'm using X5 with the Generic Fanuc 2X lathe post. 

 

The control def was set to use R for arcs. I changed the format statements for X Y Z I J K and R to #16, which is for no decimals w/ 4 places, and it posted just how I wanted.

 

However, the 5T doesn't use R's. So I changed the control def to use IK. But the post outputs I and K with decimal points. Is there somewhere else I need to change something?

 

TIA

Just change the formatting for 'iout', 'jout', and 'kout' to #16 as well.

Just change the formatting for 'iout', 'jout', and 'kout' to #16 as well.

That is what I did, however it still posts I and K with decimals

Look for newfs some where in the post. This is new format statement

And look for it with the arc, it's probably changing the fs on you

I put an "#" in front of all the lines that had a "newfs"

Now it works fine.

 

Thanks,
