    Sequence #'s

    Howdy, I have what might be a silly ?. I want to output an N # for each block on my Okuma post in sequence, e.g. first block N1, second block N2, and so forth. I can put in just an N after the M1 but for the life of me can't figure out how to make them run in sequence. I have omit sequence #'s turned on to save on memory in the machine. If someone has a quick answer or could turn me onto a post on my MC9 cd that has this feature I would appreciate it.

    Mountainwildman: You have contridicting statements in your message.

    If you want N#'s, set omitseq = 0 (or no). Then you'll get sequence numbers. If you say 1 (or yes) you are omitting sequence #'s.

    If you want to control the numbers to start at 1 & incr by 1 (1, 2, 3 etc) that's controlled on the parameter page (for V9) or in the Properties , section in the Operations Mgr (in X).
