BobCAD V25 Post Processor Editing - How to force no decimal on some addresses NOT ALL
Hello All,
I have a problem with the Fanuc 18T post processor for BobCAD V25. When outputting G-code for G74 Drill Cycle the post processor, as downloaded, has two main problems. The first problem is some addresses it outputs for G74 are incorrect. It outputs addresses I and K when it should be P and Q respectively.
Example,
N08 G74 X0. Z-.2301 I0. K0. R0. F.002
I think I have corrected this by editing lines 815 and 816 in the post processor as follows:
815. Prefix for Groove Cycle depth of cut? "Q" (this value was "I")
816. Prefix for Groove Cycle peck increment? "P" (this value was "K")
HOWEVER, the second problem remains. And, that is the Fanuc 18T will NOT allow some addresses to contain decimals! Of which Q is one of them. How can I force the post to output a value for Q in tenths, i.e. instead of 0.1 use 1000?
While I'm at it - Is there any DETAILED documentation available that describes the function of each line of the post processor? I thought I had found this once before for V23, but apparently I was dreaming as I can't put my hands on it.
Regards
