    EDITING X3 POST for FAGOR 8055 VMC

    i have a small change i would like to make to my post

    when i put a wear comp in it kicks this out

    N60 G54
    N70 G00 G90 X-2.1514 Y-.5 S6000 M03
    N80 G43 Z.25
    N90 Z.1
    N100 G01 Z-.1 F6.42
    N110 G41 D3 X-1.6514 F40. <------- on a regular machine this would be fine
    N120 G03 X-1.1514 Y0. I0. J.5
    N130 G02 X1.1514 I1.1514 J0.

    I need that "D" value gone JUST after the G41 or G42

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    thanks

    If you need the D value "gone" just comment it out in the file.----#

    First...make a backup of your current post
    If anything stuffs up in editing, you can restore it back to original

    Open the PST file with any text editor,
    and find
    Code:
    pccdia          #Cutter Compensation
          #Force Dxx#   
          if prv_cc_pos$ <> cc_pos$ & cc_pos$, prv_tloffno$ = c9k
          sccomp
          if cc_pos$, tloffno$
    change it to
    Code:
    pccdia          #Cutter Compensation
          #Force Dxx#   
          if prv_cc_pos$ <> cc_pos$ & cc_pos$, prv_tloffno$ = c9k
          sccomp
          # if cc_pos$, tloffno$
    The # at this position stops the tloffno$ from being output on the block but still allows the G40/G41/G42 to be oututted to the NC code.
