  1. You are the man!!! I went through and searched for the p_out block and found the one that worked. Thank you very much!! Thanks again!
  2. Here is what I found in my post. Thanks again for your help. ptlchg$ #Tool change #Cancel check in case missed in ptoolend if prv_n_tpln_mch <> n_tpln_mch, pg69 ##### Custom changes allowed below ##### pbld, "M01", e$ #pbld, n$, *sg00, *sgplane, *sg40, "G80", *sg90, *sgfeed, *sg98, e$ sav_absinc = absinc$ absinc$ = one #prefreturn #xout, p_out not output here absinc$ = sav_absinc ptoolcomment comment$ pcan sav_absinc = absinc$ absinc$ = zero ##### Stop custom changes ##### p_absinc_chng psof_tlchg_blck #Tool change position block #Save the current brk_ in prv_brk_ for next loop pupd_brk absinc$ = sav_absinc p_absinc_chng pe_inc_calc # This call to 'pcom_movea' has been commented out to avoid # double output of canned text #pcom_movea
  3. WOO HOO! That worked for the A 900... degree issue! Thanks a lot. The other issue is still happening. It just does not want to spit A moves out it spits out B all day long. ( MILLS PERIPHERY ) N100 G801 T1 M9991 M9993 G54 G800 H999 X-.572 Y-.473 Z1. B90. S1146 M28 Z.1 G1 Z-.227 F.01 This is the first tool and axis move in the program. After this move it goes to A90 just fine. Thanks again for your help..
  4. First off thanks for responding I looked at the A axis component but to be honest I not sure what I am looking for. I could send a screen cap of the page if you need it. I also looked in the post editor and found "frc_cinit" It was set to zero so I changed it to 1 then reposted. For some reason it does not even put the A move on the first tool. I went to the "shared mcamx5" folder opened the post and changed it. Thanks again and if you can help that would be great. If not I understand too.
  5. I am working with MX5 and using a Chrion Post post processor (enhanced fanuc basically) which worked pretty good on X4 but X5 wants to think for me and rotate toolpaths without spitting out the proper A rotation. Also instead of spitting out A0 through A360. It spits out numbers like A900.. My question is: Is there a switch I need to turn on/off to force my post to spit out A moves all of the time even if the next tool is running at the same A rotation? I am using MX5 multi axis, Lathe, Mill
  6. Sounds good Ron and I second the speedo thing.
  7. Cool. Glad you figured it out. The Haas is a very picky machine.
  8. Also sometimes the post will not spit out a G17 at the end of the program. If you are ramping in using G18 or G19 it will alarm at the beginning if you don't cancel it.
  9. I live off of Los brisas and Hancock. We are neighbors!!
  10. Thank you very much. I almost wore out my C key trying to get it to work.
  11. On X2 and previous you could use hot keys for drafting. C = cursor would let you drag the dimension wherever you wanted it to go. Or H would let you change the height. Anybody have any ideas on why it does not work anymore? or am I missing something?
