G73 Canned cycle problem

Hi
I'm having problems with G73 canned cycle.
In the Gcode file. I copied the lodgic from the other drill cycles and added the g73 code like this
IF\775=0THEN\776=z:[G73]:\775=73:EXIT
IF\775=73 THEN [G73]
IF \775=81 THEN [G81]
IF \775=82 THEN [G82]
IF \775=83 THEN [G83]
IF \775=84 THEN [G84]
IF \775=85 THEN [G85]
IF \775=86 THEN [G86]
IF \775=87 THEN [G88]
IF \775=88 THEN [G89]
-----G73
If you run a G73 drill program it will drill down to depth then retract to r then back down to drill depth then move to next hole then exit out of the canned cycle never drilling the last hole. But if you switch the lodgic from G73 macro into G83 macro then it will run the g73 lodgic just fine under G83 macro. Any helpfull hints, things to look for, I'm stumped

The Camsoft folks can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that they have special logic internal to the program, which deals with what we call the 'modality' of the G8x cycles. Thus, a gcode outside of the 80 series, does not actually run over and over without being specifically called over and over again.

So, you may have to program around this limitation. I have not tackled such a project myself. It may not be necessary to figure this out from scratch if Camsoft can tell us a trick or two

You can test my theory by temporarily placing your logic into one of your unused G8x positions in your gcode.fil and see if it works as you would expect from there.

yep, I'd check modal settings first. Click cncsetup, rules settings,modal settings. make sure that Gcode number is on the page.

Note i use Pro, items to click on may have slightly different titles in lite and plus.
