    Bobcad V23 post to Anilam Crusader M

    SO, I've tested all the Bobcad v23 non-metric post-procs' that I can find, and none have worked 100%.

    Ex., Bobcad Posts F128456 for Feed20;

    I've had to manually edit the code in a few ways, but I'd like to know if anyone has a clean Post for the Anilam Crusader M from v23.
    Thanks!

    Hythos,
    Another way this can be done is to make a simple program and post some code, then post it here and talk about what you would like to see different and people can help to massage a post that works for your machine.

    Post

    Here are a couple entries I'm trying to resolve:
    ----
    110. Tool list format.
    "(MTOOL","T100",list_tool_number,"S1","D",tool_dia meter,"H",tool_length,"DIAM_OFFSET ",list_tool_number,"= ",tool_radius,")"
    ---

    Correct input format to define a standard tool should be:
    N T1001 X.25 Z1.5
    SO, I would suspect the Post should include:
    "T100",list_tool_number,"x",tool_radius,"z",tool_length

    Furthermore, I would expect I won't need to define G44 as the tool-length is included in the tool-definition...

    Next, Subroutines have a redundant call...
    IE:
    -----
    7. Sub program call
    n,sub_call,sub_num,comment_start,"SUBPROGRAM CALL",comment_end
    8. Sub definition
    sub_num_with_prefix,sub_comment
    9. Sub program return
    rigid_tapping_end
    n,sub_return,comment_start,"SUBPROGRAM RETURN",comment_end
    -----

    results in:
    N005 G29 C C10 $ SUBPROGRAM CALL
    N010 G29 S C10 $SUBPROGRAM OF S100

    Correct formatting should be:
    N005 G29 C1
    (G29 is required for 'special' inputs)
    So here's what I I've modified it to:
    7. Sub program call
    n,"G29","C",sub_num,<comments, blah blah blah, ect>
    8. Sub definition
    N,"G29","S",sub_num,sub_comment
    ** However - the program #'s are still 2-digit instead of 1. Previous tests failed at 2-digit subroutine numbers, but they might work now. I'd like to use a single-digit sub#

    Hythos,
    Did you ever get a post processor working?

    did you ever get your post going
    the posts on there web page are non functional for the crusader M
    Defining a tool in the post
    T1001 X.25 Z1.5
    T10 tells the controller you are inputing
    01 the tool number,
    X the tool dia
    Z the tool offset

    at a glance the tool call must be T01F7.5

    T for tool , 01 for the tool number and yes the 0 must be there
    F for feed rate and should be called with the tool

    Cheers
