tool length prep Code

[GeorgiosLaboura]

Dear Pro MFG Gurus,



Novice to Gpost I am trying to develop the post for Mori Seiki 5 axis
machine. !!!

It is almost completed except for a few things.

For the tool length prep Code the acceptable value is G43.4 but the values
that Gpost accepts are integer numbers
and not ones with decimals.

So, can someone out there give me an idea ?

Hi George,

I think that the only way to do that is using FIL subroutine
I remember in the past, there was a way to develop a FIL subroutine which
finds and replaces
staff in the gcode. But it's been 7-8 years since that time i was dealing
with gpost.
Maybe someone here knows the way...

I think the "REPLAC/" does the job...
someone more experienced to help??

Georgios,



Define the length compensation code in GPOST questionnaire as for
example 43 , i.e. G43, then add the following lines at the beginning of
your FIL macro file :



$$ Replace all occurrences of G43 by G43.4

T1=TEXT/'G43'

T2=TEXt/G43.4'

REPLAC/T1,T2

Thank you Guys for your responses.

Especially I want to thank Mr. Lamy and Nikos Kaminakis who gave me helpful
tips.



The macro that actually worked is the following.



REPLAC/(TEXT/'G43'),(TEXT/'G43.4')



Thank you all,



Georgios Lambouras
