Anyone know how I can get my Fadal post to put out a G84.2 pryer to my G84.1 so it would read like so:

G84.2
H18Z10.M8
G84.1G98Z-9.4R05.S286.F357.5
thanks
Nimrod

If you want it on every file on every tool change, you can hard-code it in the ptlchg_com section of your post.

Mine reads like this

ptlchg_com      #Tool change common blocks
      pcom_moveb
      c_mmlt #Multiple tool subprogram call
      #ptoolcomment
      spaces=0
      spaces=sav_spc
      pcan
      if sav_mi3 = 1, n, "M33", e
      if mi7 <> 0,
      	[
      	n, "G91", "G28", "Z0", E
      	n, "G0", "A180.", E
      	n, "A-180.", E
      	]
      n, "M01", e
      popnumber
      comment
      if stagetool <= zero, pbld, n, *t, "M06", ptoolcomm, e
      if stagetool >= one, 
      	[
      		n, "G91", "G28", "Z0", E
      		n, "G91", "G28", "Y0", E
      		n, "G90", "G00", "G52", "X-40.", E
      		pbld, n, "M06", ptoolcomm, E
      	]      	
      spaces=0
      if output_z = yes, preadbuf5
      #if output_z = yes & opcode > 0 & opcode < 16, "(", "MAX | ", *max_depth, ")", e
      if output_z = yes & opcode > 0 & opcode < 16, "(", "MAX-DEPTH | ", *min_depth, ")", e
      spaces=sav_spc
      pstock
      pindex
      sav_absinc = absinc
      if wcstype > one, absinc = zero
      if speed <> 0, n, *spindle, *speed, pgear, strcantext, e #used for Part Location Cycle
      pcorner_round

      pcan1, pbld, n, *sgcode, *sgabsinc, pwcs, pfxout, pfyout, *cabs, e
      pbld, n, "G43", *tlngno, pfzout, next_tool, e
      "/", n, scoolant, E
      absinc = sav_absinc
      pcom_movea
      toolchng = zero
      c_msng #Single tool subprogram call
      last_op_id = op_id
      if sav_mi3 = 1, n, "M31", e

Yours is different, but you should be able to find where to place the code. In mine, it's 8 lines from the bottom, above the line that has the "G43" in it.

You'd write something like this..

     n, "G84.2", e

If you want to have it depend on anything, like tool number, fixture number etc, you'll have to come up with some kind of logic statement to do it.

BTW, BACK UP YOUR POST before you start making ANY edits. (Been there, done that, go a post so screwed up I had to start over... )

Oh, how did you make out with the Access and tool table issues? Did you get it formatted the way it needs to be?
