PP Creation

[Manikandan]

I am in the process of creating post processer for 5 axis Machine. I need the output to be like below,

Currently I am using Creo 3.0 for generating PP. How can I define cycle in the PP Like what they have done on the below output.

How can I add comments at the end of the programme. Your reply would be much appreciated.

The FIL programming in GPOST allows to do such things, although it is not always very comfortable.

The INSERT command allows you to wnter any text, so based on what you compute in your program, you can virtually enter whatever you like.

But I believe there should be simple options to specify files that are attached to the begin/end of the postprocessed code, so can be used to add comments or other code.

Thank you Koch,

Do you have any FIL file that will suitable for my issue. If you have please send me. it will really appreciate because I am struggling a lot.

Outputting the highlighted lines to the tap file is not the problem, for example the simple function INSERT/'LBL1' would generate line 9.

The complex programing is always about the logic: When does one of the non-standard lines have to be output and what should it contain.

And this logic is something you can't know from simply looking at the output.

I recommend that you take a look at the FIL samples from the AustinNC Support page : http://www.austinnc.com/documents/samples.zip

For example cycle_non-iso.fil from this archive is generating some non-iso cycles making use of INSERT, but maybe some of the other samples are helpful, too, depending on the purpose of your modifications.
