1st, make a backup of your post.

In the ptooltable postblock, change this:

ptooltable # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative
           tnote = t$
           toffnote = tloffno$
           tlngnote = tlngno$
           spaces$=0
           if t$ >= zero,
             [
             if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", *tcr$,  punit, scomm_end, e$
             if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc,  scomm_end, e$
             ]

to this:

ptooltable # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative
           tnote = t$
           toffnote = tloffno$
           tlngnote = tlngno$
           spaces$=0
           if t$ >= zero,
             [
             #if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", *tcr$,  punit, scomm_end, e$
             #if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc,  scomm_end, e$
             if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", punit, scomm_end, e$
             if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, scomm_end, e$
             ]

Thank you very much for your help. I used what you gave me and it worked for everything but still showed the D values. More importantly it showed me where to look and I was able to look through my old post and copy the code that I needed. Thank you again for your help.

 

Below is what I used and it works.

 

ptooltable # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative
           tnote = t$
           toffnote = tloffno$
           tlngnote = tlngno$
           spaces$=0
           if t$ >= zero,
             [
             if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *t$, "  = ", plistcomm, scomm_end, e$
             if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *t$, "  = ", plistcomm, scomm_end, e$
             ]
           #if t$ >= zero,
           #  [
           #  if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", *tcr$, punit, " - ", popnote, scomm_end, e$
           #  if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, " - ", *tlngno$, phspace, " - ", *tloffno$, pdspace, " - ", *tldia$, punit, pdiamspc, " - ", "         - ", popnote, scomm_end, e$
           #  ]
           #if $t >= zero,
           #  [
           #  scomm_str, *t$, ptspace, " - ", plistcomm, scomm_end, e$
           #  ]
           #if t$ >= zero,
           #  [
           #  if tcr$>0, scomm_str, *tnote, "  ", *toffnote, "  ", *tlngnote, "  ", *tldia$, "  ", *tcr, punit, "  ", popnote, scomm_end, e$
           #  if tcr$=0, scomm_str, *tnote, "  ", *toffnote, "  ", *tlngnote, "  ", *tldia$, "  ", popnote, scomm_end, e$
           #  ]

No worries. I really appreciate your help. I definitely don't know enough in the area. 

We just received a new machine and I am updating our Horizontal post. Any chance you know how to force the B value in the G54 line at every tool change?

Shane is outta posts for the day.. lol Guru, do you know how to force a B value. As it is right now for a Hori, we use Top Front. When we rotate we get all the work offset and B values at every tool change. But ultimatly we would like to have a B value with the work offset even if there is no rotation... G54 B0.....

Shane / Pete,

I'd love to come down to do a little training, and help you get your Posts, Vericut, and possibly Probing setup. Let me know if that is something you'd still be interested in...

Thanks,

Colin
