I have not had any crashing issues so far, but I do have problems when unchecking the *inch values* box when editing a tool. If I go back to that tool, the box is checked again.
Colin,
That got me a little closer, but still no good. Few more things to mention:
1. header is already a variable in my post
2. I have no problems with manual entry in my header(I like it where it is)
Before any changes were made to post, I could do either this:
()
(TOOL COMMENT)
()
(MANUAL ENTRY) [b]<---NOT correct spot[/b]
N730 (OPERATION COMMENT) [b]<---- CORRECT spot[/b]
N740 T3 M06
N750 G00 G17 G90 G54 X19.798 Y118.357 S0 M05
or this:
(MANUAL ENTRY) [b]<-----CORRECT spot[/b]
N730 (OPERATION COMMENT) [b]<----NOT correct spot[/b]
()
(TOOL COMMENT)
()
N740 T3 M06
N750 G00 G17 G90 G54 X19.798 Y118.357 S0 M05
After trying your suggestions, the operation comment was in the correct spot, but it was the same operation comment from my first operation for all the operations, and by #ing out comment$, my manual entry will not post out.
I read that thread earlier today when I was searching for my help with this issue. It wasn't exactly what I was hoping to see. I don't have any issues with how manual entry posts in the header. My issue is before/after tool changes.
Creating my own string variable has not helped so far either.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, that does not help with my issue.
I am looking for a way to separate manual entry code/comments from operation comments. Currently, comment$ is what controls the location of both. Once I have found a way to separate them, I can properly have them output where I want in the code.
Trying to separate these.
I feel like something is missing here or I am not understanding the portion I quoted here. My post has the same code as listed above but is not posting out correctly.
It won't change there either. It's like it won't stick once I choose what to associate it to.
It does let me pick any other .exe file except for cimcoedit.exe
