  2. sorry, been busy and haden't made it back... it is only outputting one decimal. Tap feedrate was something like 27.2727 in the operation and it output 27.3 in the G code. I did round up so somewhere it is getting rounded correctly.
  3. I get only one digit after the decimal but would like to to read out further. Here's what I have in the post... #Default english/metric position format statements fs2 1 0.7 0.6 #Decimal, absolute, 7 place, default for initialize (:) fs2 2 0.4 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 4/3 place fs2 3 0.4 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 4/3 place #Common format statements fs2 4 1 0 1 0 #Integer, not leading fs2 5 2 0 2 0l #Integer, force two leading fs2 6 3 0 3 0l #Integer, force three leading fs2 7 4 0 4 0l #Integer, force four leading fs2 9 0.1 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 1 place fs2 10 0.2 0.2 #Decimal, absolute, 2 place fs2 11 0.3 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 3 place fs2 12 0.4 0.4 #Decimal, absolute, 4 place fs2 13 0.5 0.5 #Decimal, absolute, 5 place fs2 14 0.3 0.3d #Decimal, delta, 3 place fs2 15 0.2 0.1 #Decimal, absolute, 2/1 place (feedrate) fs2 16 1 0 1 0n #Integer, forced output fs2 17 0.2 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 2/3 place (tapping feedrate) pmisc2$ #Canned Rigid Tapping Cycle pdrlcommonb #RH/LH based on spindle direction result = newfs(12, feed) pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, *sgdrill, pxout, pyout, pfzout, pcout, prdrlout, *feed, strcantext, e$ pcom_movea pmisc2_2$ #Canned Rigid Tapping Cycle pdrlcommonb pcan1, pbld, n$, pxout, pyout, pzout, pcout, prdrlout, strcantext, e$ pcom_movea Where do I start?

  4. I have this now... " pcom_moveb pcheckaxis c_mmlt$ #Multiple tool subprogram call comment$ pcan pbld, n$, *t$, sm06, ptoolcomment, e$ pindex sav_absinc = absinc$" had this... "pcom_moveb pcheckaxis c_mmlt$ #Multiple tool subprogram call ptoolcomment comment$ pcan pbld, n$, *t$, sm06, e$ pindex sav_absinc = absinc$ neither posted out the comment
  5. okay, I'll give that a shot. Didn't know it was a post thing, thought I had to check a box in the config somewhere. Been working on the post too so I'll shoot this in. Thanks
  6. On Mcam 2020 and I want it to post out what the tool is next to the tool change in the program. There is a complete list at the top of the program but its nice when using a lot of tools that when T6 comes up, it says 1/2" endmill so I can know that I set up my tools correctly. How do I get this changed in 2020? Thanks for the help. Dan
  7. I did the point machining to go half way and then it generates the remaining move the direction I need it to. we don't have a multi-axis license so no go there. If we ever get one, I'll know what to do. Thanks everyone.
  8. Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
  9. I got ya, I put all the moves into one toolpath. you're saying to make multiple point toolpaths and change speeds and feeds with the tool setup tab? Let me give that a shot.
  10. Running a 4 axis part and its too tall to do a 360 around the A axis. Is there a way to limit the A axis to something like +135 to -135 degrees? I post it and get one movement from A90. to A270. where I'd like it to go A90. to A-90. I know I can write a toolpath at A0. so that it will move A90. - A0. - A-90. but I'd have to do a tool change and not looking to do that. Thanks everyone. Dan
  11. Looks like I'll need a custom cycle made. I don't see anywhere in the point machining to change speeds and feeds. There is no geometry to select and "change at point" where I can usually do stuff like that. Thanks for the pointers everyone. Dan
  12. I did use the point toolpath and it runs the path correctly, How do you get it to change speeds and feeds? I only see two options in the point toolpath, G0 and G1. Other than that, I just pick all the points for the movement.
  13. Sorry but I have to make this quick... We start a hole with a short drill, then use a long drill to go deep. we start the long drill at 500 RPM then then kick it up to 6000RPM once started into the hole. We feed at F4. into the hole then F25. once in and drilling. Is there a way to get this to post out? something like this... The ( ) are what I added and would like it to post. I did this with point machining BTW. Thanks as usual everyone. Dan N100 G20 N110 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 N120 T7 M6 N130 G187 P3 E.001 N140 G0 G90 G56 X-1.2756 Y-.8268 A-90. S500 M3 N150 G43 H7 Z1.

  14. Thanks everyone, I knew I wasn't crazy... and I should have checked it out thoroughly. I'm not trying to pass the blame, just wanted to boss to know how unusual it is to have a tooling ball out in the open then use a different Fixture Offset point. I explained it to my wife like this last night... There are many options for FO points on any part. As soon as you put in a tooling ball, then there is really only one option and no explanation is required. And, I still have a job. Thanks everyone. Dan
