Line numbers

[Eritex Inc.]

I searched today for a way to post a file without having line numbers....

N100 G20 N110 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 N120 T9 M6 N130 G0 G90 G54 X-.435 Y.1625 A0. S4800 M3 N140 G43 H9 Z.1 N150 M8 N160 G99 G81 Z-.05 R.1 F30. N170 X-.585 N180 X-.735 N190 X-1.99 Y.98

All those N110, N120, N130, etc seem to be increasing the file size by at least 25%.

Thanks,

Gerame

When you post the file, click the 'edit' check box.

When it posts, it should open the saved file in the MC editor.

In the MC Editor, pulldown the NC Functions menu and select Remove Block Numbers

You can also add them back in, or renumber them if you do cut & paste editing after the fact.

And if you're really worried about file size, you can also remove all the spaces in the file (under the same menu).

Helps to know what version of Mastercam your using.

If it's V9 or older, open the post in the editor and search for "omitseq" and set it to "1" or "yes". It will post the file without block numbers.

If it X you would open the Control Def - go to NC Output and uncheck "Output Sequence Numbers".

I've changed my post for the same reason, memory usage.
I have taken the "0"'s out that don't need to be there.
G00-G01-G02-G03-M09-M08 to G0-G1-G2-G3-M9-M8,etc.

You would be suprised how much memory you can save.

I run X2. I will play with the setting in the morning, thanks for the advise

Set "spaces" = to 0. You'd be amazed how much the file size can be reduced by just turning this....

G1 X1. Y1.

into this...

G1X1.Y1.

You can do it by going to the control def manager through the machine def manager and going to "nc output" and un checking sequence numbers. that should do it.
