Sorry guys, my highlight color was white, but my select color was the same as chain. thanks for the help.

Nope. Checked that already, after looking at similar threads on website. Thanks.

Highlight color is white. Black background, nongradient. Radeon X1550 Series? It highlights everything else, just doesn't highlight the chain after it has been selected.

This may be a very simple fix. I have searched the website for maybe an answer but nobody seems to have the same problem. When I chain in X2, the chain I am picking does not highlight, after I have picked it. I like to have a visual on exactly what chain I just picked. Thanks in advance.

Crazy Millman, Thanks for all the info. I really didn't mean to start off on the wrong foot with you. You seem like you know your stuff, and I could learn alot from you. It's just that you seemed a little miffed by my question in the first place. I use V9 to program a burn table in our fab shop, and I use X2 to do my mill programming. I just hate drawing in X2. So I sometimes regress and go back and use V9 for my mill also. I figured if I got my V9 post the way I wanted it, I would just update it to my X2. Anyway, thanks again for trying to be patient. Bug-z

I don't understand. Did I do something wrong on this forum, or did I make somebody mad? I am just trying to learn like everyone else, but I just seem to attract people with attitudes, who act like I am annoying them by asking questions. Are my questions not up to par? WTF? Anyway, thanks to those who helped me in the past, I really appreciate it. BTW I am waiting on a reply from my dealer also. I just thought I'd pose the question here also.

Sorry to have bothered you. Wow.

I have put asterisks in post and succeeded in getting them around where I want tool comment to go. Here is what I am getting: (XXX ) (P/N:) (BOGLINO - DATE:) (********************) ( T07=* *) ( T18=* *) ( T11=* *) ( T12=* *) ( T10=* *) ( T09=* *) ( T14=* *) ( T15=* *) ( T16=* *) ( T01=* *) (********************) Here are the two places I put the asterisks in the post: fmt "T" 4 tnote "=*" # Note format fmt "DIA. OFF. - " 4 toffnote # Note format fmt "LENGTH - " 4 tlngnote # Note format fmt "TYPE- " 11 tldia # Note format This is toward beginning of post, and here: pwrtt # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative tnote = t toffnote = tloffno tlngnote = tlngno if t >= 0, "(", tnote, "*)" if t >= 0, tcnt = tcnt + 1 Which is the last thing before the # questions at the end of the post. As post is reading the tool numbers, and putting them in order at beginning of my program, I want it to read the coinciding tool comment I enter in Mastercam, and print it in the tool list. Thanks in advance for the help.

NUDGE, NUDGE!

Right now I have a post that I have edited a little and it has a tool list in the beginning. I've been successful in getting it to list correct tool numbers in order they are used, but would like it to print the comment for the tool that I give it in Mastercam. I would like it to go between the equal sign and the 2nd parantheses. Here is what I have: (XXX ) (P/N:) (BOGLINO - DATE:) (********************) ( T03= ) ( T07= ) ( T11= ) ( T12= ) ( T10= ) ( T09= ) ( T14= ) ( T15= ) ( T16= ) ( T01= ) (********************) It is an Okuma post, from version 9. I use both 9 and x2, but when I get it right I will just update it for x2. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies guys. I checked and I don't have a MPMaster post. Also when searching in my post for tooltable, it is set to 1. Does that mean it's on or off? Also says something about pwrt?

Hope I'm not to late. would like a copy also if you have time - [email protected]

That worked great also. thank you much!! I've got one more. In the beginning of my programs I want it to give a tool list. I've got my post to list the tool numbers in the order they are called, but I can't get it to put the comment for the tool next to ( T01= ???). I want it to appear where I put the question marks. Here's what I get: (A6503 ) (P/N:) (BOGLINO - DATE:) (********************) ( T11= ) ( T12= ) ( T09= ) ( T01= ) (********************) I think I have tried nearly every manipulation in my small aresenal of knowledge of editing .pst files. Here's hoping you are three for three today.

Not that I think I need to. But what if I wanted to generate the G-code on every line? Can I?

Thanks. That worked without a hitch. You my friend are a god!!
