Canned cycle depths

[Madmark454]

When doing a drill cycle. (G81)  when I post the program it post the same z depth for every location. 

Example.

X0 Y0

G81 Z-.1R.1

X0 Y1 Z-.1

X0 Y2 Z-.1

I know I'm missing a safety line and some speeds and feeds. But any info would be good. Never seen this before. And I've always programmed holes the same way.

Inside the post processor below the drill cycles there is another post block called additional points.

 

It may have a *fpzout which will force the output of z on every additional point.

 

The *f I think will force the output

[Madmark454]

Found not find it in additional point. But under motion output components I found a

pfzout        #force z axis output

            If absinc$ = zero, *zabs, !zinc

            Else, *zinc, !zabs

 

I removed the * from the *zabs and it is now posting right. Hopefully it doesn't affect anything else. I made some other dummy programs and everything seems ok.

Just be careful because in a place like prapidout, you will want to force the output a certain times. Especially during incrimental programming where you need to re establish a correct z clearance plane

Now you got me scared. As far as what I did does it raise any red flags?

It may be a non issue, but I'm only a self declared expert and that area you edited I think controlled the force z output over the entire post where as additional drill points applies to only the drill cycles
