I am using Gibbs 5.1 to post a lathe file. I want to add a few lines of code at the end of a operation. I enter the code by
-Right click on the operation tile
-Select Operation Data
-Enter code in the box At Op End
G0X7.0
M01
-I then reprocess the operation.

I can not get the post to include my new lines.

Is there something else I need to do?

The literals that it requires must be in quotes.. try

"G0X7.0
M01"

or maybe

"G0X7.0"
"M01"

BTW, if you go to HELP and turn on Baloons, it will give you good explinations of the boxes you put the mouse over. ;)

Thanks Matt,
I knew about the balloon help, but I didn't read it closely enough. (I missed the part about quotes).

I am never sure if I'm missing something with Gibb's or it just does not work. If you try to copy and paste a line of code into At Op End, it does not work. Is this right?

That was always a problem when I was using it too. I think they've got a lot of those things 'fixed'

I don't remember trying that when I was using it. Did you try CTRL+V as well as right clicking and selecting PASTE?

I found that I can paste a line of code in the Op end/Op Start. I just have to hit the ENTER key after I paste for it to be saved.
