Hi Guys

I'm working with the attached post and I need to make a mod for a new machine we got. I've editied posts before but now sure how to go about this one.

I need to replace every Z move with an M00 (new machine is 2 axis)

Any ideas on how I do this would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

Hello

I'm guessing I need to edit these lines -

prapid$ # Linear line movement - at rapid feedrate
pcan
pcan1, n$, sgcode, pccdia, x$, y$, z$, strcantext, e$
pcan2
sof = 1

pzrapid$ # Linear line movement - at rapid feedrate
pcan
pcan1, n$, sgcode, x$, y$, z$, strcantext, e$
pcan2


plin$ # Linear line movement - at feedrate
sof = 1
pcan
pcan1, n$, sgcode, pccdia, x$, y$, z$, pfr, strcantext, e$
pcan2

pz1$ # First linear movement after SOF
pz$

pz$ # Linear line movement - at feedrate
n$, sgcode, pccdia, x$, y$, z$, pfr,e$

pcirout #Circular interpolation
pcan
pcan1, n$, sgcode, pccdia, x$, y$, z$, i$, j$, pfr, strcantext, e$
pcan2

However if I replace z$ with "M00" then I end up with M00 on every single line. I need a way to code -
If z$ is not empty then set z$ to "M00"

How would I go about this ?

Cheers

Hey Dave

I am no code master but try this.
I added some preset to the begining of the post process.

It may work.

Hi

Thanks for having a look.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

Cheers

Dave

By no means complete, How's this for a start.
