Greetings, here is sample which I am using pexit_program endday = 26 endmonth = 6 endyear = 22 if (year$ < endyear), e$ else, if (year$ = endyear & month$ < endmonth), e$ else, if (year$ = endyear & month$ = endmonth & day$ <= endday), e$ else, [ "Your post is not valid anymore", e$ exitpost$, e$ ] keep in mind user can always change something (i can say more in PM) Kind regards Ivan.

Greetings @lim-mazak What you can do is limit how many lines you want in your output file. To do that please first do backup of your post file. Now create new buffer where you will store your output information's and set variables ( the ones below its just an example from my post file) #---------------------------File manipulation buffer------------------------------------------------------ #Buffer 6, wc6 : 1 rc6 : 1 size6 : 0 file_size : "" sbufname6$ : "" fbuf 6 0 255 1 1 #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- output : 0 # Variable is used for string comparisons return : 0 # Variable is used for closing open files sauxfile : "" # For using aux file to store new NC file during ppost$ processing sncfile : "" # Stores path of NC file s_output : "" # Path of the DOC output file (optional) Create new postblock " ppost$" In the varable size6 you will limit the lines amount which you want to be outputted Keep in mind we are getting total 300 lines in this example, which includes things from pheader$ and other things before the actual code ppost$ sncfile = spathnc$ + snamenc$ + sextnc$ sauxfile = spathnc$ + snamenc$ + sextaux$ sbufname6$ = spathnc$ + snamenc$ + sextnc$ spathaux$ = spathnc$ snameaux$ = snamenc$ s_output = spathnc$ + snamenc$ + sextnc$ auxprg$ = 1 newaux$ subout$ = 2 size6 = 300 rc6 = 1 while rc6 <= size6, [ file_size = rbuf(6, rc6) *file_size , e$ ] subprg$ = 2 newsub$ mergesub$, e$ return = fclose(sauxfile) return = remove(sncfile) return = rename(sauxfile, sncfile) #return = remove (sbufname6$) clearsub$ clearlcc$ Once again before doing any changes do backup. Kind regards Ivan.

English please

Greetings. When you have extra time at work you can do many things Here is sample of the code how to convert your G- code output to binary output if you want to try yourself All the numbers are rounder up, all the negative numbers are converted to positive. Also mastercam has limit for the amount of decimal spaces so big numbers can be converted correctly( or there is another way?) code below require more work if you want to convert I, J and K to binary For example for k$ you need 4 checks if k$ < 0, k$ = k$ * m_one if k$ < one & k$ > zero, k$ = k$ * two^8 if k$ > zero & k$ > m_one, if k$ < zero, have fun guys, and remember if you want to try this do backup first if binary_output = one, [ sbinary = " " if xabs < zero, xabs = xabs * m_one decimal = round(xabs) # Check if the decimal number is 0 if decimal = zero, *decimal, e$ # Initialize a variable to keep track of the power of 2 power = zero # Loop to find the highest power of 2 less than or equal to the decimal number while two^power <= decimal, [ power = power + one ] # Adjust the power as we overshot in the loop # Loop through each power of 2 in descending order while power > zero, # If the current power of 2 can be subtracted from the decimal number [ if decimal - two^(power - one) >= zero, [ sbinary = sbinary + sbinary_one # Concatenate '1' to the string decimal = decimal - two^(power - one) # Update decimal value ] else, [ sbinary = sbinary + sbinary_zero # Concatenate '0' to the string ] power = power - one # Decrement power ] binary_digits = rpar(sbinary, one) xabs = binary_digits *xabs ] else, [ if absinc$ = zero, *xabs, !xinc else, xinc, !xabs ] !xabs Before N100 G21 (TOOL - 5 OFFSET - 5) (WALTER_VNMG INSERT - INSERT) N110 G0 T0505 N120 G18 N130 G97 S2000 M03 N140 G0 G54 X16.973 Z4.464 M8 N150 G50 S2000 N160 G96 S185 N170 G99 G1 X14.144 Z3.05 F.2 N180 X14.144 Z-6.757 F.2 N190 G18 G3 X14.2 Z-7.4 I-7.422 K-.643 F.2 N200 G1 X14.2 Z-17.959 F.1 N210 X14.2 Z-17.97 F.2 N220 X14.2 Z-24.1 F.2 N230 X17.028 Z-22.686 F.2 N240 G0 X17.028 Z4.464 N250 X15.117 N260 G1 X12.289 Z3.05 F.2 N270 X12.289 Z-3.75 F.2 N280 G3 X14.144 Z-6.758 I-6.494 K-3.651 F.2 N290 G1 X16.973 Z-5.343 F.2 N300 G0 X16.973 Z4.464 N310 X13.262 N320 G1 X10.433 Z3.05 F.2 N330 X10.433 Z-2.449 F.2 N340 G3 X12.289 Z-3.749 I-5.566 K-4.951 F.2 N350 G1 X15.117 Z-2.335 F.2 N360 G0 X15.117 Z4.464 N370 X11.406 N380 G1 X8.578 Z3.05 F.2 N390 X8.578 Z-1.57 F.2 N400 G3 X10.388 Z-2.423 I-4.639 K-5.83 F.2 N410 X10.433 Z-2.449 I-5.544 K-4.977 F.2 N420 G1 X13.262 Z-1.035 F.2 N430 G0 X13.262 Z4.464 N440 X9.551 After N100 G10101.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask. Kind regards. Ivan

Please next time send me a PM or post it here why are you removing my post. Didn't know that is forbidden to share mastercam books. Thank you .

Check your PM, Code is there, Make sure that you did backup before changing your code. Kind regards Ivan

Greetings. Download mastercam2022-mp-reference and run index.htm from the link below https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/328x8yqnyr7jdfrkqzchc/h?rlkey=ggxsxrhlda1pwos451wh4tnqr&dl=0 Now Click on NCI Lines/20000 Lines and choose 20007 From here you can retrieve information related with total tool length( tool + holder) also check Mcam2022_Parameter_Ref.pdf you may find other information's which you need. But make sure you can edit your post. Kind Regards Ivan

Greetings everyone. While designing program for lathe machines how do you tell CNC Operator information related with stock. While taking 0 point (G54 or any other) on the part he should know Value of the "Right Margin" for phase one and "Left Margin" for phase two ? Here is my solution how I am doing it but I want to know if there is any better idea. So what I did: post processor will check the name of the saved file O0023(Program Name = 230105-MM-374-F1) ( in my chase F1 means phase 1 and F2 phase 2) If file name contains F1, it will print out "Right Margin" ( | Stock_at_Right_Side 1.00 mm | ) If file name contains F2, it will print out "Left Margin" ( | Stock_at_Right_Side 3.00 mm | ) if file name contains F3 , it will set "Right/Left Margin" to 0 because logically there is no stock left after phase one and phase two But if there is no key word in the file name it will get only "Right Margin" Value I am using stock flip option all the time so my stock leftover can be updated all the time We are using Doosan Puma 5100, 3100 machines(fanuc) If you have some better solution for the question above it would be nice. Kind Regards Ivan.

number of Flutes 20004(16)

Greetings I am trying to get information's from 20004 parameter to get (----------------------------------------------------------) (T12 | D12 |No. Flutes = 2 | DIA. - 5. mm) (#8. | Face drilling - C axis | ) ( | Speed = 3820 RPM VC = 60.00 mm/min | ) ( | Feedrate = 687.60 mm/min | ) (==========================================================) (==========================================================) (T16 | D16 |No. Flutes = 6 | DIA. - 10. mm) (#21. | 2D Dynamic Mill | ) ( | Speed = 3979 RPM VC = 125.00 mm/min | ) ( | Feedrate = 1909.92 mm/min | ) (==========================================================) So what I did is : Created numerical variables to store the results of each value in the string (total 27 of them) if prmcode$ = 20004, tool_no = rpar(sparameter$, 27) when I add tool_nf variable in any postblock which isn't mtlchg$ value is always same as the first tool if the first tool have 2 flutes every other tool will have same value But if I use it in mtlchg$ postblock its updating all the time I cant see what I am missing here Should I use nci_rewind$ to get what i need ?

Greetings @JParis I wish I had this info in my post Thank you so much for pointing this out After few changes not it works flawlessly if rotary_type$ = 0 | rotary_type$ = 3, [ b1_ymax = y_max$ b1_ymin = y_min$ ] Now only when I have y selected or no axis selected (while using mill operations) buffer will fill min/max variables Once again thank you @JParis Kind regards Ivan
