Posts - Drilling Parameters

[JoeyW]

I just reciently updated my V7 post for a Toshiba HMC to take advantage of the new features V8 had to offer. I was wondering..... how do you get the new custom drill parameters to work in the post. What variables do you use? (Ex. "peck1" refers to the initial peck value, what whould the equivalent character be for "parameter #1"?

The variables are as follows:

1 Drill parameter 1 (drl_prm1).

2 Drill parameter 2 (drl_prm2).

3 Drill parameter 3 (drl_prm3).

4 Drill parameter 4 (drl_prm4).

5 Drill parameter 5 (drl_prm5).

6 Drill parameter 6 (drl_prm6).

7 Drill parameter 7 (drl_prm7).

8 Drill parameter 8 (drl_prm8).

9 Drill parameter 9 (drl_prm9).

10 Drill parameter 10(drl_prm10).

To use these in the post, you would have to:

-edit the post's .txt file to make the dialog box descriptions meaningful

-format the variable for output

-add the variable to the appropriate output line in the post

I should mention that post help is available in a file named Mp.hlp. This can be launched from Mastercam V8 using a C-Hook called posthelp.dll. Both are post-release files available from the Add-ons files on the eMastercam.com Patches page - http://www.emastercam.com/info/patches/v8/index.html
