  1. It looks like the issue may be with value of opcode$ or "comp_type". With pocket, cutter comp is not on until the finish cut. This may be giving you unexpected value for comp_type.
  2. There are probably many ways to do this, but the 2 methods that come to mind are (1) subout$ (2) using buffers I never got my head around using buffers, but with subout$ , you can direct the output to a 2nd file, and then merge it back in at eof$ using mergesub$ command.
  3. Thanks for the help. I am able to get the job done using the field in the Control Definition. I still do not understand why setting the value for "eob$" in the PST file does not give the same results.
  4. Thanks for the tip about replacing the e$. There is also an option in the control def, but I am wanting to set this in the post file, but am not getting the results I would expect.
  5. Can eob$ be set in the post file? @ pprep, I have eob$ = 36 Expecting $ at end of each line, but no change. Also tried at pheader with same results.
  6. The negative X value is most likely caused be the WCS location and not by the machine or post files. Are all the other XY values correct?
  7. Thanks for the info. Looks like SAE is the only option.
  8. Parker has some very good info on their site for identify post type, but I have not found anything yet for inspection. I think it is available from sae.org, but it is very hard to tell what you are purchasing from them. They do not appear to give any preview of what you are buying. Look like they are geared up for large companies, and not into selling specific spec. I would have thought these specs were published / open standards.
  9. Where would a good source be for the specs for SAE ports. In particular, I am looking for SAE AS5202D The cad files are excellent, but I am needing something with tolerances that can be used for inspection. I am looking at the sae.org website, but it is very unclear what you are purchasing.
  10. Yes. Create a single variable to capture the 1st tool. This will be much less work than setting up buffer.
  11. The "Slice" option may be what you are looking for.
  12. If you click through the warning, I expect it to post code that is good. I think this is caused by using window chain, and has been resolved with most current update.
  13. Settings->configure Look on start/exit page and change default editor to cimco. If this corrects the problem, then the error is with the installation of mastercam editor.
  14. Colin, Your comments are well received, and appreciated. In regard to changes to control def, my suggestions are: 1. Chance for only single page. (No need for prompt) 2. Remove file and path names from both machine and control files. Require that all 3 files simply be same name and located in same folder. Users can move them to any location, and rename without need to edit and link the 3 files back together. I would be interested to know how many users maintain control definitions that have multiple pages. I understand the attraction of a GUI interface to the posts, but we need to be careful that its implementation does not take away from stability.
