Dave can you give an example of what the Code would look like for this to be implemented? RandleXX can you share where you got the list of predefined variables? and what U did to fix this up...! Im interested about the SIM can anyone explain ? Thx!

Hey Code...... Do you know by any chance how to put the current PC username on the posted output?. Thx!

Graduating today 8/29/09 Great Class, Happy to have met Mr. Code Breaker.

Thats Great news. Were you able to pinpoint what causes that -Z right before the G70 (FACE FNS)? I've had trouble editing that one. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks for the info on the sub_op_id Fix.

I found the User & Pwd... The file is in the lahte Directory and called 2744-090301-A.Z2G

How do you upload, I try to open the link in Windows Explorer but it wants a password.

Ok, well how do I send my post or MCX or upload to FTP, or what part of the postpropcessor should I post for you to look at.

Also in the control I have the sequence start at 100 & Inc 1, eventhoug the swith is disabled. By any chance do you know how I can get rid of the neg coordinate right before the G70?

Actually I dont have that problem, The only problem I have with the G70s is that it will start the Z at N1s Z and that command basically drags the cutting edge across the just finished face. code: G72 P100 Q101 U.01 W.005 F.025 N100 G0 G41 Z-.0625 S500 G1 X10.

My post is based off an MPLFAN, all I have moded so far are the sequence at every tool change. code: seq_tool_n = seq_tool_n + 1 # Sequence numbering - Just for ToolChange pbld, n$, seq_tool_n, *sg28ref, "U0.", [if y_axis_mch, "V0."], "W0.", e$ Does the version 9 of this post do the same thing ?

I have a problem in my post. It will outpu the P and Q from the first OP for every finsih (G70) op. Can anyone help. Thx !
