Slash in the tool change line

[hlibhlib]

Hi guys!

How to add a Slash in the program start line with M6, if the program has only one tool, or the number of the last tool is the same as the first?

Thank you!

In the operation canned text section, add block skip to the "with" dialog.

Thank you!

I know that, but I want the post to do it.

I think it is possible.

What post are you trying to modify?

I'm not in a place where I can access Mastercam, but this should be fairly simple.

1st, make a backup of your post, so you can reset it if something goes wrong.

2nd, make a backup of your post, so you can reset it if something goes wrong.

In the ptlchg$ section there should be a line similar to this

      pbld, n$, t$, sm06, e$

You need to replace that with logic that checks if the current tool is the same as the first tool. Something like this:

      if t$ <> first_tool$, pbld, n$, t$, sm06, e$

      else, pfbld, n$, t$, sm06, e$

I realized it was a bad idea. Thanks for your help.

Very sorry for the lost time.

Thank you, I just put a slash in the first call of the tool change and it suited me.

Thank you again.
