Del,
Thank you very much for your time with this problem. It looks like using x2 to do this will be a step backwards from how I have been doing it with v7 mill. I do like your loop program for doing holes that are the same distance from each other, and will give it a try.
Thanks Again
Fuzzy
Del,
If you did post this from x2 then the loop call could be removed and more locations could be added to the main which would give me almost what I am looking for. Removing the "G92 X0 X0" line from the geometry subprogram I think would be it.
Let me know .

Del,
The code that I have posted is what I use in our Fanucs. The one you sent me would work but repeating the burn settings is what I would like to not have to do. Putting them into their own subprogam and then calling the geometry from there will reduce the amount of code greatly. Just like you have done by putting the hole geometry into a subprogram
Fuzzy
Del,
I see how this works, pretty cool. My concern is would I have to repeat all the burn settings for each new location? If so, that becomes a problem for me because I often wire parts with over 300 holes. I have been doing this with V7.2 mill,for making the main or position program. Then adding the necessary subs. I would think x2 should be able to seperate the burn sets as well as the geometry into different subprograms. It does create the main position program and will put the hole or contour geometry into a sub but wants to repeat the burn sets for each hole or contour. This uses alot of unnecessary code, and if I needed to run the last skim cut for any reason block deleting the subprogram is very simple.

I want to post out my burn call settings in a seperate subprogram. Anyone have any luck doing this? I have three Fanuc Robocut wires and am trying to do this with X2 software. Want code to look like this:
