  1. I am trying to add the following to the top of a program. #570=-2.9542 (POINT 1 X) #571=19.3815 (POINT 1 Y) #572=9.1114 (POINT 1 Z) #573=270.0 (POINT 1 #574=-0.0738 (POINT 2 X) #575=19.3814 (POINT 2 Y) #576=-2.9543 (POINT 3 X) #577=18.0021 (POINT 3 Y) #578=-0.0739 (POINT 4 X) #579=8.0022 (POINT 4 Y) #580=0.01 (VARIATION TOL.) M98 P00008111 These are parameters for a probing program. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? Either in a Manual Entry or some kind of custom drill cycle with post change? Or maybe some way I have not thought of? I would like to select the points and write the program. Thanks, Shane
  2. Sorry for the colored text. Got it to work. sprognotmp = sprogno sprognoo = brksps(2, sprognotmp) # Break string 60,sprognoo,62,e$ #MAPPS Program display sprogno,"(",srevision,sissue,")", e$ "(Part and Rev Number: ", srevision, ")", e$ "(OP Number: ", sissue, ")", e$ "(Programmer: ", sname, "DATE", 58, month$, "-", day$, "-", year$, sspace, ")", e$ "(POST - Protomet Mori Seiki NH5000 Rev.A)", e$ " ", e$ gets me % < 13047101 > O13047101 ( Part and Rev Number OPPERATION Number: ) (Part and Rev Number: Part and Rev Number ) (OP Number: OPPERATION Number: ) (Programmer: YOUR NAME DATE : 08 - 19 - 15 ) (POST - Mori Seiki NH5000 Rev.A) Thanks for your help
  3. I am thinking sprognoo = brksps(1, sprogno) If this is the correct way to use brksps? And using this new string. My next question is, (if this will work) where can I put this? Just above where I am going to use it? Do I have to declare this variable somewhere else? Or can it just be… sprognoo = brksps(1, sprogno) # Break string "<",sprognoo,">" e$ #MAPPS Program display sprogno,"(",srevision,sissue,")", e$ "(Part and Rev Number: ", srevision, ")", e$ "(OP Number: ", sissue, ")", e$ "(Programmer: ", sname, "DATE", 58, month$, "-", day$, "-", year$, sspace, ")", e$ "(POST - Protomet Mori Seiki NH5000 Rev.A)", e$ " ", e$
  4. I am actually needing the "O" to be in there for the program # but not for the line above it. % < O13047101 > I Need <13047101> O13047101 ( Part and Rev Number OPPERATION Number: )
  5. I have a string that is the program number. Say O13047101. I need to get rid of the "O" in the program number. How can I do this? Truncation? Right now the section of my post looks like.... "<",sprogno,">" e$ #MAPPS Program display sprogno,"(",srevision,sissue,")", e$ "(Part and Rev Number: ", srevision, ")", e$ "(OP Number: ", sissue, ")", e$ "(Programmer: ", sname, "DATE", 58, month$, "-", day$, "-", year$, sspace, ")", e$ "(POST - Protomet Mori Seiki NH5000 Rev.A)", e$ " ", e$ Which posts % < O13047101 > I Need <13047101> O13047101 ( Part and Rev Number OPPERATION Number: ) (Part and Rev Number: Part and Rev Number ) (OP Number: OPPERATION Number: ) (Programmer: YOUR NAME DATE : 08 - 18 - 15 ) (POST - Protomet Mori Seiki NH5000 Rev.A) ( T2 - IEM-C-AL 2.000X90XR.031X.492X4.00X5 ICR-T490 FLN D2.00-5-.75-R-13 ) N10 G00 G91 G28 Z0.

  6. I wish you could change selected values relative to the current values. Then this would work.
  7. I have a very long program that I need to translate down in Z 1.5 inches. This is no problem to translate the geometry, but is there any way to change the Z heights in the Linking Parameters screen. It will be a real pain in the rear to have to go into 330 operations and change the Z heights for each one. There has to be a better way!!!
  8. I have just created a tool list using the SSM xls file and Active Reports. And I noticed that it has "SORT" in front of the "TOOL" section of the XML. But the tools are showing up unsorted. Is there a way to sort these tools in numerical order? and if so HOW!? I just know it is something simple. HELP!, Shane
  9. Is there a way to hide the stock model? Or am I just missing something.
  10. Does anyone out there have any info on customizing the MILL.SET file for setup sheets in X6? I can't seem to find anything on doing this.
  11. I am looking for an easy way to edit my mastercam tool library outside of mastercam. I have tried using sql server lite, but there are so many different inputs scattered everywhere, and I don't really know what I am editing for sure. Any suggestions?
  12. Has anyone found a slick way to change tool numbers or edit a tool in mill without changing the feed and speed to the defalt on every tool path that uses that tool?
  13. I see that x5 has a new database format to its tool library. What I am trying to do is create my own library without the use of mastercam. Has anyone done this or could steer me in the right direction on what I would need to do this. I know it can be done because the tool manufacturers are doing it. It is in some sort of SQL format.
