Adding G90 in post processor

Question

Hello all, I am putting together a post processor and want to add a G90 whenever a workoffset is called. I assume it is a FIL routine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.ThanksJosh

This little chunk of code from my post-processor is how I handle the offset being set in the CIM file:

CIMFIL/ ON, SET, OFSETL

OFSTYP = POSTF ( 6, 5 )

OFSREG = POSTF ( 7, 5 )

IF ( OFSTYP .EQ. 1 ) THEN

IF ( OFSREG.GE.54.AND.OFSREG.LE.59.AND.CURREG.NE.OFSREG ) THEN

CURREG = OFSREG

OFSCMD = TEXT/ 'G', CONVI, OFSREG, 2, '$'

INSERT/ OFSCMD

ENDIF

CIMFIL/ OFF

Perhaps you could use this to add your own additional commands? The available documentation on doing this stuff is rather lacking. It's like some sort of arcane language.

Taylor,In your FIL file you may try something like this:CIMFIL/ON,OFSETL DMY=POSTF(20) POSTN/OUT,7,90 DMY=POSTF(21) DMY=POSTF(13)CIMFIL/OFFCIMFIL is the way to capture certain commands in the CL file. In this particular example OFSETLDMY is the return value for each function. I thas no particular use in this example.POSTF(20) store the current commandPOSTN/OUT,7,90 - output the G90 codePOSTF(21) recalls the stared command and POSTF(13) execute the command.The G-post and FIL manuals are located in the \\gpost directory:...
