Help!

Hi folks,

I'm trying to modify a PP to run on a Mach3 controller. Does anybody know how to output a G28 code along with the M06 tool change code in GPOST?

Any help would be fantastic.

Cheers,

Steven

Mach 3 should work with a standard fanuc 3 axis post. Why do you want the
tool to "G28 go to home position" and tool change on the same line?

So Francois FIL text solution worked a treat. Syntax added was:

T1=TEXT/'M06'
T2=TEXT/'G28M06';REPLAC/T1,T2

Output the G28 code just where we needed it.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Cheers,

Steven
