I am trying to adjust drl_prm1 as shown below but I don't have it right any ideas? pdrlcst3 pdrlcommonb pbld, "(X SINGLE POINT MEASURE)", e$ [ drl_prm1$=pdrlxy+drl_prm1$ pbld, n$, *drl_prm1$ e$ ] pbld, n$, "G320", "P9810", *pfzout, "F3000", e$ pbld, n$, "G65", "P9811", pfxout, [if drl_prm8$ <>0, drl_prm8$], [if drl_prm10$ <> 0, drl_prm10$] , e$ pbld, n$, *sg00, *drl_prm9$, e$

As far as I can tell it is, I have even gone under the control def and saw it was there.

With help form this forum I have made probe cycles using custom drill cycles. Everything is working well except the apply custom drill parameters. They show the default untill I back out of the tool path then go back in as if to change something. Is there a way to get the text to load with out doing this?

Perfect thanks for the lesson!!!!

I'm working on my post to use drill cycles to output probe cycles. I'm getting there but I think I'm making some formating errors.

I figured it out thanks for the help!

I'm really not that smart on this stuff could you give me a step by step?

I am programing two simular parts in two vices in a vertical mill. The parts have the same holes and counterbores but they would be at two diffrent offset locations in the same plane. I want to use FBM Drill but I don't want the extra tool changes i.e. FBM drill one part then the next. What do you think?
