CAN POST COLLECT TOOL INFO AND ASSEMBLE IT AT HEADER?

[PROGRAMERDAVE]

HELLO,

RECENTLY I HAVE STARTED CONFIGURING POST PROCESSORS AND CAN NOT FIGURE OUT OR UNDERSTAND HOW TO CREATE THE HEADER I WANT. I WANT IT TO POST OUT A LIST OF TOOLS AT THE HEADER WITH THE TOOL COMMENTS NEXT TO IT. BASICALLY LOOKING LIKE THIS:

%
O12345
(236555 ROD END, OP 3)
(HOLD WITH .875 HARD COLLET AND STOP)
(HOLD AS DEEP AS POSSIBLE AVOIDING FILLET RADIUS)
(G55= X/Y: CENTER OF BORE LOCATION)
(G55= Z: ROTARY CENTER LINE, A: MILLED SURFACE IS PARALLEL TO TABLE)
(T1= 2.00 DIA FACE MILL)
(T2= .500 SPOT DRILL)
(T3= .531 DIA DRILL)
(T4= .500 FLAT END MILL)
(T5= BORING HEAD -- .8755 DIA)
T1 M06 (2.00 DIA FACE MILL)
..
..
..
M01
T2 M06 (.500 SPOT DRILL)
..
..
..
ETC.

I ONLY HAVE A 10 POSITION T/C AND I WAS THINKING OF DOING A IF THEN STATEMENT ONLY ALLOWING THE "T3=......" TO BE THERE IF THE POST FOUND A T3 M06 IN THE PROGRAM.

IS THIS POSSIBLE OR AM I DREAMING TOO LARGE.

What CAM software are you using? I use SolidCAm and what you want is possible in that. Or do you use GPost to create code from a CL file; if you do then once again what you want is possible. However a lot of CAM programs lock the user out of editing the post and then charge for changes to meet your requirements.

By the way, there's no need to SHOUT!

I AM NEW TO THE WHOLE FORUM CHATTING REALM, I DIDNT REALIZE THAT CAPS R OFFENSIVE. I HAVE A STRONG HABBIT OF HAVING TO TYPE WITH THEM ON SO SORRY FOR THE MISINTERPRETATION.

I USE MASTERCAM 9.1 AND IM TRYING TO POST OUT FOR A HAAS.

WOULD YOU HAVE AN IDEA ON HOW THE POST GENERATES THE HEADER?
