Thanks Tim, that did it.

Hi, I've been trying to get the custom drill parameter passed to the post so I can use them for my Haas probing macros. In the Control definition manager I've added PROBE and OFFSET to the simple drill custom parameters and Drill paramter #1, respectively. I've added the fmt S 4 drl_prm1 just before pdrlcst$ But when I use the line pbld, n$, sprobegcode, sprobemacro, sprobesurface, drl_prm1, e$ it outputs my 3 probe strings but drl_prm1 doesn't output. If I put a * before it, it outputs S0 like it doesn't have a value. If I put a $ after it, it outputs drl_prm1$ 112. 112 is the value I put in parameter #1 in the "Drill cycle 10 custom parameters" tab for the toolpath. This is X2 MR2 Thanks for any help Am I missing something in another file? GlenBA PS Yes I have searched, and searched, and searched the forum, but could not figure out the stupid thing I'm doing to cause this. BTW When I try to output ~drillcyc, e$, it also outputs nothing unless I put a $ after drillcyc, then it outputs drillcyc$ 9.
