C Axis is double posting tool numbers

[Grafdude]

For some reason that I really don't know and been trying to figure out without any success, is whenever I have any of the lathe c-axis toolpaths, it will double post tool numbers at start of tool, and also post tool number at the end.

I'm looking simply to have a single tool block (T0606)

^{Look for the ptoolend$ post block.  Then look for toolno or tloffno$ etc.  It could also be hidden somewhere else, I can't tell without seeing the post.}

^{Have you ever used the post debugger?}

I've never used the post debugger, how can I use it?

Thanks a lot bd41612, I managed to get rid of those duplicate toold numbers thanks to you and the debugger. There's one thing I cannot figure out though is that for every C axis toolpaths, the post will always output 00 for offset number, regardless of the tool number, like this:

 

"T0700"

 

I would like the post to ouput like this:   "T0707"

 

Any ideas?

toolno = t$ * 100 + tloffno$

 

Assuming your tool number and offset number are both 7 in your parameters, use toolno in your post.
