To edit a Mastercam post, save a backup copy first. Then open the .pst file in a text editor.

find your feedrate format line in your post processor

fmt F 9 feed #Feedrate

and change it to...
fmt F 4 feed #Feedrate

see if thats what your looking for.

Hi,

first of all ,Thanks for that,
Its works
i also want to delete tool changer line.
and ADD line with a command M19(for orient spindle).
cna u tell me how i do that.

[KANNON]

if you just want it to post a M19 instead of a tool change find your tool change command in your post.
Mine looks like this
ptlchange,
if stagetool = zero, pbld, n, *t, "M6"
if stagetool = one, pbld, n, *next_tool, "M6"

and change it to ...
if stagetool = zero, pbld, n, "M19"
if stagetool = one, pbld, n, "M19"

and that will put the M19 in instead of your tool change command.
At least it did when I tested it. I am dealing with a Haas post here so I dont know if they look exactly the same.

thanks for that,
its works,
i have edited th e post processor and the output is same i want.
where u learn from that things.
its is very diffcult to edit post processor in mastre cam as compare to pro-e.

I am no post expert my any means..
I got the post processor cd from my reseller, and reference to that. I guess mainly the single most important thing is saving a backup of the post before attempting to change things. I also belong to another forum...as for a few familiar faces in here also belong to
www.emastercam.com and have learned tons from them. Not to promote another site, but they are a great bunch of people. As long as your not asking for freebies and willing to put some effort into getting the changes you need made, they will help till your issue is resolved. Between the 2 forums... there is nothing you shouldnt be able to have an answer to.

glad everything worked for you hurco!
