I was wondering how i can edit post prossor to make a certian code i want. How do I do this? I am trying to put a P9000 at every tool change. I use P9000 at every to tool change to pull my tool up and out of the way to clear all parts and machine. I was wondering were i add this.

Welcome ot the forum.

 

Yes this can be done what post are you using for one. You then need to look in the post for the following if your post does toolchanges this way:

code:

---

ptlchg_com      #Tool change common blocks

pcom_moveb

pcorner_round

c_mmlt #Multiple tool subprogram call

#ptoolcomment

comment

pcan

if plane < 0, plane = 0

if stagetool >= zero, pbld, n, *t, "M06", ptoolcomm, e

---

Depending where you want to put it you just add it in. If you want it was line before the toolchanges by itself then right before then if stage tool put in a pbld, n, "P9000", e and it will output at every toolchange every time. Now if you want this as a optional thing then that can be done with Misc or Can Text.

Great first post, welcome to the forum!

 

Looks like he wants to hard code it, so something like this..

 

code:

---

ptlchg_com      #Tool change common blocks

pcom_moveb

c_mmlt #Multiple tool subprogram call

#ptoolcomment

spaces=0

spaces=sav_spc

n, "P9000", e

pcan

if sav_mi3 = 1, n, "M33", e

n, "M01", e

popnumber

comment

ptoolcomm, E

n, *t, "M06", E

---

Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forum ninik18.

 

The above replies will fix your P9000. You may also want to get a post CD if you are wanting to get into it a little bit deeper.

 

Edit: Do you also use this at the end of the program? If so also add the

 

n,"P9000",e

 

in the peof post block

I have heard of people talking about the post cd. From what I understand this helps one start to learn how to edit posts. Is this correct and is there a charge for it?

Thank You

You are correct it has been very helpful to me in learning post editing. Mine was sent to me by my reseller. I think it is at the discretion of each reseller as to the charge so I'll refrian stating price etc... But I will say that it would be worth investing in should there be a charge.
