Yes, I do have 2 column on each offset page. First column 1 thru 8, second column 9 thru 16. This is on a fanuc 16-m control. This is the way it's always been. Why change now?

I see where you guys are coming from. That is alot easier, just add 30 instead of 8. But my set-up men and operators have been using D1 H9 thru D8 H16 and D17 H25 thru D24 H32 for over 8 years. So I wanted to keep everthing the same. I got it with your help. fmt D 4 tloffno$ #Diameter Offset No fmt D 4 tloffno_greater #Diameter Offset No 9JAN2008 V.G. fmt H 4 tlngno$ #Length Offset No fmt H 4 tlngno_PLUS #Length Offset No9JAN2008 V.G. fmt H 4 tlngno_pg #Length Offset H25 and above 9JAN2008 V.G. if tloffno$ > 8 , tloffno_greater = tloffno$ + 8 pbld, n$, *sgcode,"G17", *tloffno_greater, pfxout, pfyout, *speed, *spindle, pgear, pcan1,e$ else, #pbld, n, *sgcode, tloffno, pfxout, pfyout, pfcout, pbld, n$, *sgcode,"G17", *tloffno$, pfxout, pfyout, *speed, *spindle, pgear, pcan1,e$ tlngno_plus = tlngno$ + 8 #added what ever number you want to add to the length 9JAN 2008 V.G. if tlngno_plus > 16, tlngno_pg = tlngno_plus + 8 pbld, n$, "G43", *tlngno_pg, pfzout, scoolant, [if stagetool = one, *next_tool$],e$ else, pbld, n$, "G43", *tlngno_plus, pfzout, scoolant, [if stagetool = one, *next_tool$],e$ Thank you

Racerx, Thanks alot that worked out great. But I have one more problem. After I reach D8 H16 I need to jump to D17 H25, because I have used offset 9 thru 16 in length registers. Can I use a, if great than 8 in the tloffno$ (dia offset) go to 17?

I am using X2-MR2 on a Fanuc and trying to change my tool length offset by 8 from tool dia offset. I know in the Control Defintion Manager you can offset registers to length by 8 then add to tool. But went you replace one control to next it does not toggle back from 8 to 0, unless you click on the tool you are using. So I though you could change this in the post instead by adding value of 8 to the tlngno$ (tool lenght offset). Does anyone know how to added a value of 8 to tool length offset each time it comes up to get (D1 H9 etc.)?

Thank you Roger, I really appreciate it. I use this chook alot. It works great!!

Is there a new pts@acrcs_x2_mr2 chook for the latest version of Mastercam?

Thank you Troy that was just what I was looking for. That pts2arcs_X2 chooks works great.

Can you make a group of circles from a group of windowed points?

In Master cam X; I can go to Setting, KeyMapping, Category, Master cam C-Hooks, but in Commands, the C-hook icon I am looking for is not in there. Is it possible to add DrillPt.dll to these commands?

MR2 makes it alot easier to change one post to another by changing file replace. It update all the mics values automatically; but it doesn't pick up the tool offset register automatically like T1 D1 on one machine and T1 D9 on the other. I only can get this by clicking on the tool. Is there a switch that needs to be turned on; or does this go on the next wish list.

Thank you. That worked out good.

How do you savesome in Mastercam X? I window the items I want to save, but it never asks what I want to save file as?

I don't have your answer. But I would like to see the right arrow key as a hot-key. right arrow = , For entering X Y coordinates.
