PRESTAGE TOOL

[Fabio1]

Hello all

Just started on mastercam 2017  a few weeks ago. Want to edit the generic fanuc post to call up the next tool after a tool change so that I am not waiting for the machine to search through the magazine every tool change. When I went into the editor the postings are written in code. Has mastercam always done its postings in this style? Haven't used it since the early 90's and I don't seem to remember it being this way. Any direction on a were to get definitions to the codes or how to setup the pre stage would be helpful.

Thanks.
