IMHO the post would not be the best way to limit file size. It could be done, but the effort likely not worth it. A solution exists out of the box the Cimco DNC MAX product will split up file into pieces the control can handle in memory. The advantage here is that you specify what to do when the chunk of code is finished; and the next begins.
I am currently supporting end users of Renishaw AM machines. Materials used are aluminum, titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, 316...ect. Parts range from medical implants to suppressors as well as materials research. Cool stuff for sure.
I think you will find that your logic does little unfortunately. The feedrate as far as mastercam is concerned has never changed. You need to flag when the smaxrate has been output in the prapidout post block then force the output in pfeed.
@ikertx0
Posts do not output feedrate if it has considered it unchanged "Modal". As you know the Heidenhain uses FMAX for rapid; fanuc ect.. G00.
Fanuc simply change between G00 and G01/G02/G03 previous used feedrate applies. Heidenhain not so much. Rons example only works because the feedrate actually changes. (plunge rate different than feedrate)
In looking at the post it is already setup for modal feed,
Search for this:
modal_feed : yes$ #Is 'F'eedrate modal? #IKER AVANCE TODAS LINEAS
Change that to this:
modal_feed : no$ #Is 'F'eedrate modal? #IKER AVANCE TODAS LINEAS
The downside is a feedrate on every interpolated line; could be corrected by setting a flag to force output only after a rapid move.
