BOBCAD V28 MILL POST PROCESSOR
FANUC Oi SERIES
DOOSAN 650 II

I would like to be able to insert a line of code just before a certain tool change:

N05 (100 G55 T28 LT MODEL# & SN SET DEPTH W/OFFSET G65 P5502)
(.01 V-TOOL)
G65 P5502 (this is the line I would like to insert)
T28 M06
T02
G90 G55 X1.5964 Y2.0574 A 90. S8800 M03

G65 P5502 invokes the Renishaw probe.

Many thanks for your time and help!

To hard code a command into your Post Processor you should insert the code inside quotes where you want it to appear, in your example code you show it before the tool change command so that would be in Blocks 2 & 3 of the Post Processor like this :-

n,t,"M06"
"G65 P5502"

Hope that helps, save a copy of the PP to another location on your PC before you make any changes
Just open it in Notepad and simply click "save", do not use the "save as" option as it will be saved out as a .txt file that will not work in BobCAD

If you have any problems then you can Zip up a copy of the PP and upload it here and someone will make the changes for you

Thank You, The Engine Guy!

Won't that technique insert my hard code at every tool change? I can only have the "G65 P5502" at the front of line N05.

I have found an advanced posting link so I am looking into that, in case you can help in this direction. I don't know if it will work: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/bobcad...d-post-re.html

Yes, it will, however if you just have it in the Block 2 of the PP and not the Block 3 it will only appear then at the start of the program, I am assuming from your reply that the Renishaw is only probing the Part and is not doing tool measuring ??

If you want to be able to choose an individual Feature to have the line of code inserted then you will need to either script it or use an advanced posting page very much as per the other thread you have found

Many Thanks Rob!

The block2 technique works the way I need it to as there is no reason not to do the probe at the beginning of the post. I had it in my head that the probe needed to be done just before the op. duh. Problem Solved thanks to The Engine Guy!
