I'm sure one of us can. Can you post what bobcad is outputting so we can see what needs to be changed? How about uploading your post processor also.

this is what bobcad posts for tapping cycle

here is the post file

With one change to the standard start of program, I get this:

N05 G90 G54 X0. Y0.
N06 G43 H01 Z2. M08
N07 M29 S504

There should be a couple changes to the toolchange area also. Can you post the file that makes the code you posted. (Sorry, dont know how to re-create it so I can be sure I get the same numbers) For instance, my code shows coolant off and spindle off and such. This can be removed but I dont want to if your program doesnt have it for some other reason. Also, to get the end at the z.2 also.

[EDIT] Dave may beat me to it! [EDIT]

[mmc005]

It looks like Burr already has the fix for you. Burr, if you put 3 points on your drawing with the first being at X0.0 Y-3.1496, the second one at the same Y position and X6.7716 and the third one at X10.1574. Then when you select your geometry select all three points and then regenerate your program, your numbers and program should look like his first post.
Also, can you post the processor file for him?
Thanks Burr,

Dave

[BurrMan]

Thanks Dave! I suppose if I look at that then I may be able to figure it out!

Heres what that posted. a default tap.

The M29 and S was moving a line in the "standard start of program" and "tool changes" areas. (hard coded the M29 in)







Also, the starting Z param is contolled in the feature edit called "Rapid Plane". Put the 2 there. The end Z is inserted by the post. Ive always wondered why it over rides the rapid plane set it the feature edit though.

Anybody else here?



The post is attatched. This one appears to be a bit different than your with some Coolent On/Off Spindle On/Off at end of programs and tool changes. This should be fairly clear though.

Any time Burr, nice job.

Dave

[1234567]

looks good for the tap cycle but it adds the m29 code for all tools.
m29 sets the machine for ridged tap and that wont work for the rest of the tools.ya i know im a pain in the ##%%^# lol.

[The One]

Do you need any other options than the M29 for the start? That is to say, will it always be the M29?

Regards

[1234567]

m29 is only for g84 tapping cycle.this code sets up ridged tap.i only want m29in the tapping cycle nowhere else.

also predator editor does not like the m29.Is there a way to have it skip that block during simulation?as soon as it gets to a line with m29 it stops back plotting the program.

[Allen123]

This is something you can do with the post for BobCAD.

Most of the post I've pulled from their website have been wrong for the format of the cycle. There are more then a few changes you'll need to make.

These are some of the line of code need to be changed in the post

80. Drill canned cycle cancel.
n, "G80"
rigid_tapping_end

90. Canned cycle drill point format WITH SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
91. Canned cycle drill point format for standard drill canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
92. Canned cycle drill point format for standard drill canned cycle with dwell NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
93. Canned cycle drill point format for peck drill canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
94. Canned cycle drill point format for tapping canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
95. Canned cycle drill point format for boring cycle #1 canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
96. Canned cycle drill point format for boring cycle #2 canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
97. Canned cycle drill point format for back boring cycle canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
98. Canned cycle drill point format for boring cycle #1 canned cycle with dwell NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
99. Canned cycle drill point format for boring cycle #2 canned cycle with dwell NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output


113. Canned cycle drill point format for high speed peck drill canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output
114. Canned cycle drill point format for left handed tapping canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output

116. Canned cycle drill point format for fine boring canned cycle NO SUBPROGRAMS.
n,x_f,y_f, zr_no_output

[Allen123]

Some more changes needed

rigid_tapping_start
n,g_canned_cycle,g98_g99,x_f,y_f,drill_depth,refer ence_plane,dwell,canned_feed_rate





22. Rigid tapping start.
n, "G93"

23. Rigid tapping end.
n, "G94"


50. Line first rapid move Z.
n, cancel_drill_cycle
n, rigid_tapping_end
n,rapid_move,zr


80. Drill canned cycle cancel.

84. Tapping canned cycle.

rigid_tapping_start
n,g_canned_cycle,g98_g99,x_f,y_f,drill_depth,refer ence_plane,dwell,canned_feed_rate

[BurrMan]

The example and post I made will put it "Everytime, everywhere". Global.

You wont want to use this.

Look at Allen's post. Also, The One would most certainly know.

Sounds like its done with the canned cycle and I dont understand this area.
