Thanks for all your help, I got it right where I want it using a combonation of your responses. Thanks again

This is how it post now.. O0000 ( TEST ) ( 13-10-11 ) ( T1 | 3/8 X 90 SPOT DRILL | ) ( T2 | 7/16 X 50 DEGREE ENDMILL | ) G20 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 N100 ( 3/8 X 90 SPOT DRILL | TOOL - 1 ) T1 M6 G0 G90 G54 X0. Y5.93 S7500 M3 G43 H1 Z.1 T2 /M8 G99 G83 Z-.1 R.1 Q.05 F20. Y6.45 Y6.97 Y7.49 G80 M9 G91 G28 Z0. M5 M01 N102 ( 7/16 X 50 DEGREE ENDMILL | TOOL - 2 ) T2 M6 G0 G90 G54 X0. Y5.02 S7500 M3 G43 Z.25 T1 /M8 Z.1 I would like the N101/N102 numbers to be N1/N2 Our setup sheets are Hand typed using an Excel format the old programmer created works great its simple and to the point

OK got it to work, had to replace some txt and change the *t$ to *n$, only thing is it outputs starting with N100 would like to start with N1

Cant get it to work right, its not adding an N# also, think I may need to remove some lines also, because its adding an extra tool change???

I am trying to edit a post for a 3 axis vmc, I am a programmer and have 6 operators that need cnc programes to be very basic to help with set ups and such, Ive been pretty succesfull in my first attemps to create post that leave very little editing to be done to cnc programe. But I need one last thing and cant figure it out. I would like the tool commet lines that are at the begining of the respective tools cycle to be numbererd sequentialy, but not nescarily the smae number as tool number, more like a cycle number. Using MX4 MU3 What I get now is (3/8 spot drill H1) T3M6 xxxxx xxxxxx (#31 Drill H2) T2M6 xxxxx xxxxxx (3/8 SPOT DRILL) T1M6 xxxxx xxxxxx What I want is N1(3/8 spot drill H1) T3M6 xxxxx xxxxxx N2(#31 Drill H2) T2M6 xxxxx xxxxxx N3(3/8 SPOT DRILL) T1M6 xxxxx xxxxxx Makes it much easier for operators to jump to a specific cycle and re-run if needed, also matches the set-up sheet. Right now I have to hand edit in those numbers Any help would be much appreciated
