Post generating, non-executable gcodes

[cansucuoglu]

Hello;

I have been working on some minor edittings in a post for mastercam. I have got most of what i need but there is one more thing thats very annoying.

Some how when the g-code is in the machine it tells me that it is not executable because it is "X" not "MX".
So I need to edit it in the machines computer to make it an mx and run it.

Does anyone knows how to change it

pheader # File header
"%",progname,",MX"
";NAME -", progname
";", date, " ", time

This is the only part of the code vaguely tells anything about this...
Help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks
John

What type of machine & control are you running

it sounds like you possibly have removed a man-readable designator in your post
such as a open/close parentheses

Fanuc Exe.

%
O9999
( MAN-READABLE HERE )

John: do you have any experience modifying posts?
If yes, then open up the post and search for the line where the filename is generated.
Do a save as .......so that you do not corrupt the original post. You should be able to find the location in the post where it names the file,just scroll down and you'll find it. From there, make a change (one change at a time), and re-post using the new post, verify that it's doing what you require, and then you are good to go. Worst case scenario, ask someone here to look at the post processor for you.

Hi;

Thanks for the responce guys. Well first of all, last week I didnt had any post editting experience, but after this strange week I kind of know at least what I am reading, But now about executable things.

I think you are right. Our machinist here ( which is not me ) ask the post to generate *.pim instead of nc. I dont know why.

But heres what I added:

sextnc PIM

And it worked, it save pim files. But, not an executable one....
....I hope this means anything to you.But in the post this is the only part it talks about saving things, and I added this one. So, I dont actually know post edditing, because it has to be somewhere else too , right? And I dont think I get the part about men-readable 9999 thing. Can you explain if you dont have any time. Isnt 99999 is a default value that posts use?.

Thank you anyways
