HEAD missing from ncl file in Creo 4

I was utilizing the HEAD word to pull up a macro in IMSpost to output probing strings and variable prompts. It is no longer being output in the ncl for Creo Parametric 4.0.

This has to do with the mold design option, I think those topics belong in parametric &gt; manufacturing.Link to post: (Did You Know? Filling Loops on a Part Mold) by @cmcclintock https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Did-You-Know-Filling-Loops-on-a-Part-Mold/m-p/444351#M9056 &lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5em; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;If you’re working with a reference part in mold assembly that contains holes, you need to cap them before you split the mold. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;In this post, a PTC expert describes how to cap the holes in Creo 3.0.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5em;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;First, hide the workpiece so you can collect surfaces on the reference part efficiently. To do this, in the Model Tree, right-click the workpiece and from the pop-up menu, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;

Unable to get negative BAXIS movements to post in code

I have flipped every switch and configuration that I can think of trying to get Creo to output a negative B-axis movement. &nbsp;The machine is currently set to shortest path in Creo, and has all the correct boxes checked (I have tried them all I am pretty sure) in GPOST, but no matter what I have tried, I am unable to get the "-" value in front of my B-axis movements in my generated code.What am I missing?This is our&nbsp;current FIL that was made for us, but even if I remove the FIL and run default GPOST, I still do not get the negative values for the table rotation. &nbsp;The way our table operates, it has 0-360 and negative controls the direction. $$ ****************************************************$$ * R O T A T E S E C T I O N *$$ **************************************************** CIMFIL/ON,ROTATE XX = POSTF(20) ROT4 = POSTF(7,4) ROT5 = POSTF(7,5) IF(ROT4 .EQ.

Eliminate Extra Rotation In NCL

In nc sequences that start with a new tool at the same rotation, Creo Parametric does not output a ROTATE command. We add a cl statement at the start of the new tool nc sequence to force out a ROTATE in case of a restart at the sequence by an operator. When we do this, at the end of the ncl file it dumps all of the ROTATE commands again. It is hard to write it into the post because there is no word to look for. Any ideas? $$-&gt; END / ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; 270.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0000000000, 14.4462803075, 12.5740000000$$-&gt; TRANS / -6.0000000000, -14.4462803075, -12.5740000000ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; 90.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0000000000, 14.4462803075, 12.5940000000$$-&gt; TRANS / -6.0000000000, -14.4462803075, -12.5940000000ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; -90.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0000000000, 14.4462803075, 12.5740000000$$-&gt; TRANS / -6.0000000000, -14.4462803075, -12.5740000000ROTATE / BAXIS,&nbsp; ATANGL,&nbsp; -270.000000$$-&gt; TRANS / 6.0
