YES it work. I happy :-) This is exempel how I work *Open a 3D modell. *save it with drawing number and description MCX *Prepare it for toolpath *create toolpath and got question to choose a NC name. *Run postprocessor and it save the file automatic on the network with same NC file name and programe name

This is my pheader$ code: pheader$ # File header #"Program Name - ", progname #"Program Time - ", time #"Program Date - ", date,"(Day:Month:Year)" "0", "BEGIN PGM ",progno$,"MM",e$ When i change program number in toolpath it work correct. But i whant the posts to change to right program number, same as the name of nc file

I use X3 and mpheid5 posts mill. A set the NC file name to a number and I want it to change the program number in NC file as same. I cant find any answer for this in forum or helpfile.

First it not work but when i start the computer today it work fine. thanks for all help :-))

No error in error log you can see. But it change " Post variable 'omitseq$' was re-initialized from 1. to 0." I Test to change it to yes but whit no god results. I find code: #CNC<<MSG-ERROR(164)>> in posts. Here is one of them from posts. code: # Program & Sequence number format # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- fmt 8 progno$ # Program number fmt N 7 seqno$ # Starting Sequence No. fmt N 7 seqinc$ # Sequence No.Increment fmt 12 n$ # Main Program Seq No's #CNC<<MSG-ERROR(164)>> The format statement number is not defined (default to 1) thx for help :-) 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <0> - Report created. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - Initialize posting log file 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - Using MP run version 11.00 and post components version 10.00 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - Initiate opening the post processor file(s). 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - Post processor file name: D:MCAMXMILLPOSTSMPFAN.PST 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - The post processor file has been successfully opened. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - Post version information (input): 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - UPDATEPOST Version 11. was used to modify this file. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - The file was modified by this product on 13 Jul 05 15:05:27 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - The post was written to run with Mastercam Version 11. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - The post product type is Mill. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - Initialization of pre-defined post variables, strings, postblocks was successful. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:20 AM - <2> - Search for defined post variables, strings, postblocks was successful. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'err_file$' was re-initialized from 0. to 1. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'dec_seq_right$' was re-initialized from 3. to 0. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'omitseq$' was re-initialized from 1. to 0. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'sub_seq_typ$' was re-initialized from 0. to 1. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'tplanemode$' was re-initialized from 2. to 0. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'arctype$' was re-initialized from 2. to 5. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'arctypexz$' was re-initialized from 2. to 5. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'arctypeyz$' was re-initialized from 2. to 5. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'larctype$' was re-initialized from 2. to 5. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'larctypexz$' was re-initialized from 2. to 5. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'larctypeyz$' was re-initialized from 2. to 5. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'arccheck$' was re-initialized from 1. to 111. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'larccheck$' was re-initialized from 1. to 111. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'rotfeed4$' was re-initialized from 2. to 1. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'rotfeed5$' was re-initialized from 3. to 1. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'lrotfeed4$' was re-initialized from 2. to 1. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'lrotfeed5$' was re-initialized from 0. to 1. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - CONTROL DEFINITION - - Post variable 'peckacel$' was re-initialized from 0. to 1. 17 Apr 2009 11:43:21 AM - <2> - Successful completion of posting process!
