Not seeing the entire post processor I can only make the following suggestions:

1. Make sure that program_block_30 and program_block_31 are only being called up in the appropriate places, this...

Great, I was getting a little confused because I assumed you realized they were using VB. Your on the right track now, while VB is old it's still able to accomplish whatever your willing to learn. As...

Yes, absolutely, no comma between '[3T]' or "[3T]" and program_variable_name.

You will need to format your xb and yb variables in program_block_9 to strings with the proper leading/trailing places...

I have attached a post we use for the HAAS VF3SSYT with HRT-210P3 4th Axis. All references to double quotes output raw text as typed. Could be their code interprets the double quotes differently...

I suspect your correct that it may only work in regular posting blocks and not scripting blocks, however, the double quote (") should output as straight text, "[3T]" should output [3T] and not be...

I did notice in their examples that they use spaces as in ' [3.2L] 'post_variable_name. That's ' [3.2L] ', not '[3.2L]'. I have attached a pic of the Formatting Post Variable Output page I have, hope...

Look up Formatting Post Variable Output. It goes something like this:

'[3.2L]'post_variable_name or in your case '[.4T]'prev_x

If prev_x = 8.2
Then '[5.4T]'prev_x will output 8.2000,...

Most likely you need the entire path, something like "C:\Butch Elrod\AppData\Local\Temp\MillingPostExe_Paths.txt"

Sketch/Enter will definitely work properly, but wouldn't we also expect that a click in space (drag from) to a click in space (drag to) would default to current UCS (Z value)? Maybe I'm missing...

Ok, we got Predator working with the 4AXVMILL.MCH and FANUC0.RP5 files. Question - Is there any documentation for the .MCH files? We have the documentation for the reverse post files, "Reverse Post...

Burr thanks. Yep, already tried that, but we do not get any rotation in predator (see "Backplot Screen Shot.docx"). I've attached a .zip file containing "4axvmill.mch", "0004 ADR-02609-021.02.nc",...

While we're on this subject. We've added a fourth axis to our Haas VF-3SSYT and have been unable to make Predator display the A-Axis moves. Can anyone point us in the right direction? SBC Cycle?...

I agree, but I'm pretty sure you can change the wording:

267. Amount to add to tool# for tool compensation offset D#? 20

I believe all they look at is the 267? If I'm wrong perhaps someone else...

Should be

267. Amount to add to tool # for tool register value? 20

You will need to start a program block down in the 2001, 2002, 2003, etc range of your post processor, similar to:

2001. program_block_1, Find Tool Numbers

nextToolNum =...

Here are the documents for the Post.

Your welcome, we have not used the MILL_ProcessPostLine() in the 3 program_block's we use. My guess is that maybe the MILL_ProcessPostLine() outputs immediately when encountered and then again as...

Sorry, it's not the ";$PATH=/_N_MPF_DIR" line, it will be another program_block_1 somewhere in your post or somewhere in your 2004. Program Block 1. code. If you've listed all your code for this...

0. File header
program_block_1
";$PATH=/_N_MPF_DIR" (Delete this Line!)

Then search for program_block_1 AND ";$PATH=/_N_MPF_DIR" in the entire post and delete where required. These are the only...

0. File header
program_block_1
";$PATH=/_N_MPF_DIR" (Delete this Line!)

There is no grid or grid scale in BCC. You can set Units in Preferences>Settings Part>Units.

Yeah, I'm not sure we'll see any changes soon. We have updated ours to the best of our ability. I actually simplified our Setup Sheets by removing all the coding required for anything except...

You don't edit the Setup_Sheet.xml, this is created by the application (BobCAD). The bcss_format.xsl stylesheet is where you make any changes to the Setup Sheets. The bcss_style.css (cascading style...

Actually, you can copy say the C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V27\Setup Sheets\Templates\Mill SetupSheet, paste and rename it to C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V27\Setup Sheets\Templates\Lathe...

Rob,

Yes, I'm aware that I can choose the one I want, however, as an example, the Full Setup Sheet for the Lathe always outputs HSS for the Tool Material. There is an obvious mistake in the...

Has anyone came across any documentation on V27 Setup Sheet(s)?

SBC Cycle, you are correct and I believe it works fine in the MILL, but not the LATHE. My solution, and to perhaps help someone else, was to use the LATHE_GetUserEditIntegerSettingsVariable() as...

Ah yes, if you drew a plane at Z0 and then did an intersection curves you would produce pic2.

I have never extracted edges and had the horizontal lines be there, always needed to connect lines from/to the circles and project to a plane, like Z0. Extracting edges from a cylinder will only...

This is working properly, You will not get the 2D as indicated in pic2. The 2D in pic2 was likely used to revolve and create the 3D and somehow you accidentally deleted the 2D? Just my guess?
