Hello,

I'm trying to modify Generic Haas VF-TR_Series 5X Mill postprocessor. There are xout, yout, zout variables in it for output X, Y, Z tool coordinates.

I need to assign a math formula to recalculate xout variable.  For example 

pcom_move

     a = 10

     xout = a + 5   - adding a value

     n$, xout, e$   - output xout

but it is still output initial X value  without adding a+5.  What I do wrong?

Ok, Thanks.

Hi all,

I have 4 different coolant types on my machine. But  they are only 3 types are active in General machine Parameters.

Please advise  how to add another one?  V9-style is used in the post.

Regards, Alex

Hi everyone,

I have head - head machine with A (-120+120) and C (0-360) rotary axes. It's possible to get the same tool position with two ways for such kinematics. For example A-90 C0 position can be  achieved as A+90 C180. At the momemt my postprocessor outputs second variant (A-90 C180). Please advise how to minimize rotary movements and have A-90 C0? 

geirsj,

I'm using MasterCAM X9.  I managed to output tool length.  I thought there is pre-defined variable for tool length and I just can't find it's name in manuals. Your reference to NCI guide helped me. Thanks.

Ok, thanks, I have NCI reference guide and I guess it has what I'm needed.

Please advise, what variables are used to output overall tool length and cutting length in tool  table?
