X7 backplots and verifies correctly for custom vertical lathe tool.

Correction: The B angle is calculated per planer definition through a series of custom postblocks (pxyzcout and 'bout).

The B angle is calculated per planer definition through a series of custom postblocks (pxyzcout). This issue was not present with X5. (We updated directly from X5 to X7 / All post updating was performed correctly)

PS I have created the custom lathe tool by level and file with no avail.

Machine: Mazak Integrex w/Matrix control Post/X7 issue: The vertical position (B90.) for custom lathe tools is not being read. There is no issue with the non-custom lathe tools.

However, the B on the main spindle outputs B0. and the sub spindle outputs B180. If I manually change the B to B90. in the program there is no issue. Non-custom lathe tools will output correctly. Sample tool path code: N1 (Custom Vert lathe tool) G28 U0. Y0. G28 W0. M901 M202 T17.04 T17 M6 D17 G0 B0. – Should read B90.

forget it. i'll get myself. thanks anyway.

is there an easy way to insert operation comments (gcode$ 1008) into the header?

i use 'n'no's and comment$ for subs for easy restart finding. i want to post the comment$ at the top of program while still being located at toolpath position. i'm probably brainfarting but i've done it before in a different post but applying the same logic with mplmaster seems to be puzzling me.

why yes it is but when its put in pheader it takes out of the path and puts in in the header.

i have mx2 and for some reason i cant get the comments in toolpath to post in header and at the path location. if it matters, i'm on integrexes with a heavily modified mplmaster post.
