I am using the post processor for EMC-2. Is there a way to put a space after the line number in the G code. It would be allot easier to read it. I have tried to change things in the file but have had no success. Thanks Jan

Hello

You can introduce a space character after the block number macro #N

So where you see #N add " " (there is space character between the quotes) to read #N " "

You will need to do this on each lines that contains the #N in the RULES section of the post

HI
Carrying on from this post, can you add a space between program content like the following?

N11 G99G83X183.0Y41.0Z-14.667Q2.933R3.0F200

make it like

N11 G99 G83 X183.0 Y41.0 Z-14.667 Q2.933 R3.0 F200

Thanks
Phil

Hello Phil,

Yes, you need to add an underscore character before each word ..... this is the groups section from a fanuc lathe post ....
GROUPS:
:G1 = { _G00 _G01 _G02 _G03 _G33 _G77 _G78 _G79 _G92 }
:G2 = { _G96 _G97 }
:G3 = { _G90 _G91 }
:G4 = { _G94 _G95 }
:G6 = { _G20 _G21 }
:G7 = { _G40 _G41 _G42 }
:M1 = { _M03 _M04 _M05 }
:M2 = { _M08 _M09 }
:M3 = { _M33 _M34 _M35 }
:M4 = { _M78 _M79 }
END:

Then use this in the MACRO and RULES sections ....... examples below

#CRC = { [CUTCOM ? (_G40) / (_G41) / (_G42) ] }

:GOCLW = { #N (_G02) #CRC #Y #X #I #J #F EOB }

Thanks Andre
Worked like a charm.
I feel it is much easier to read like this.
