  1. Hi Doug, Unfortunately, I believe that a Tool Assembly is a static object. Once built, it does not have any connection to the individual components that were used to build the assembly. For the H1/D1 output, don't worry about it at the Operation level. Just fix it in the Post Processor. Open your Post in a Text Editor. (Make sure you have made a backup copy first!) Near the top of the Post, find the section where the variables are first defined. Add the following code, and make sure it starts in the 1st column of the Text Editor. tlngno$ = 1 tloffno$ = 1 Those Global Formulas will force all D and H values to be output as D1 H1.

  2. You do this in the Control Definition not the post.

  3. In the pprep$ post block you can insert a simple postblock like below to set how each one is handled. In the pdrillinfo block, only the misc 1 and misc 2 canned cycles can be used. All the others become long code no matter what the Control Definition has in it. pprep$ #Pre-process postblock - Allows post instructions after the post is parsed but before the NC and NCI file are opened. #DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OUTPUT TO THE NC FILE IN THIS POSTBLOCK (OR ANY POSTBLOCKS YOU MAY CALL FROM HERE) BECAUSE THE NC OUTPUT FILE IS NOT YET OPENED! rd_cd$ #Read CD Parameters rd_mch_ent_no$ = 0 #Read only the machine base parameters (use to collect common parameters from CNC_MACHINE_TYPE) rd_md$ #Read machine definition parameters pdrillinfo #Call the drill block that turns off the can cycles pdrillinfo usecandrill$ = no$ # Use canned cycle for Drill usecanpeck$ = no$ # Use canned cycle for Peck usecanchip$ = no$ # Use canned cycle for Chip Break usecantap$ = no$ # Use canned cycle for Tap usecanbore1$ = no$ # Use canned cycle for Bore1 usecanbore2$ = no$ # Use canned cycle for Bore2 usecanmisc1$ = yes$ # Use canned cycle for Misc1 usecanmisc2$ = yes$ # Use canned cycle for Misc2
