I would like to use post debugger. I figured some how or somewhere I would be changing pxout and pyout to pfxout and pfyout. But I don't know where or how to use post debugger. Roland the circle milling is in the Sub.

What we would like is the y value in lines N40 and N45 and so on.
What our operators want is X and Y output at each point, and then the sub call generated by Circle Mill. Right now only the changing axis is output.
using force output in the Additional Holes section in the post doesn't help when using Circle Mill. Can anybody help? Thanks Tnevy
Everything is working great! Thanks for all the help everyone. And to Rob @ R & D Engineering that was a great and simple fix. It was great to see the exact place to add the *'s
Thanks again,
Tnevy
I'll try Rob's suggestion of adding the *'s in the pdrlout #R drill position
It will be the easiest to change fix. I don't know where or how to use FMT and FS.
I'll let you all know how it works.
Thanks,

A G98 or G99 with G81 doesn't help. I have all values now except R. Not really sure how to use John's advice but I will give it a try soon.
Thanks,
Tnevy
I have the X Y and Z output at each line now, also the F rate just in case. Still having trouble getting the R value to output when the value hasn't
changed. I was able to fix the values I needed to be output in the
# Additional Holes
pdrill_2$ #Canned Drill Cycle, additional points
by adding an f or * to pxout, pyout, pzout
but it didn't help prdrlout
So I could still use some help to output an R value at each hole.
Thanks,
Tnevy
MasterCam X4 software.
It is a Miltronics control.
The first G81 line is correct it has XYZ, R and feed rate. It's the second hole that has only an X or Y move as needed to get to the second hole. Machine only pauses then goes to the third hole location. At which point it gouged the part by literally moving to Y1.5Z-.11 and staying down and gouging to hole #4
G81 X-4.75 Y-1.5 Z-.1 R0.3 F10.
X4.75
Y1.5 Z-.11
X-4.75

I need an R and Z at each hole even if it hasn't changed.
Thanks for any help you can offer to force output.
I have a Partner machine that need R and Z output for each hole I spot or drill. I was wondering how to do this in the post. I use pfout for X and Y but need help with Z and R.
