I am atempting to add my stock size to my post. I am editing the genaric fanuc x3 post. Here is my code...

PHP Code:

sopen_prn, "STOCK SIZE - X-", stck_ht$, " Y-", stck_wdth$, " Z-", stck_thck$, sclose_prn, e$ 


and here is what its ouputting...

PHP Code:

(STOCK SIZE - X-stck_ht$ 3.75 Y-stck_wdth$ 3.75 Z-stck_thck$ 2.) 


Here is what I want it to look like...

PHP Code:

(STOCK SIZE - X-3.75 Y-3.75 Z-2.) 


Can anyone help me by telling me what I am doing wrong?

Also tried this...

PHP Code:

fmt X 18 stck_ht     # X - Stock Height
fmt Y 18 stck_wdth   # Y - Stock Width
fmt Z 18 stck_thck   # Z - Stock Thickness
fmt X  2 stck_x      # X origin of block
fmt Y  2 stck_y      # Y origin of block
fmt Z  2 stck_z      # Z origin of block



sopen_prn, "STOCK SIZE - "*stck_ht, " ", *stck_wdth, " ", *stck_thck, sclose_prn, e$
sopen_prn, "STOCK ORIGIN - "*stck_x, " ", *stck_y, " ", *stck_z, sclose_prn, e$ 


And get all zeros for output...

PHP Code:

(STOCK SIZE - X00.00 Y00.00 Z00.00)
(STOCK ORIGIN - X0. Y0. Z0.)

Maybe a stupid question but do you have this set-up in the operations page for Stock. Mastercam needs it here to have information to out put. Also there are now 20 different version of Mastercam floating around, and V9 post act differently that X post, X2, and X3 posts do. Saying for what version goes a long way for helping people help you.

If you look at the Mill.SET they have everything in them to do what you are looking to do. Rob Peter to pay Paul is something I recommend so take information from there put in your post and that should help solve some of your problem. If you use fmt statements that are not supported you will see what you are seeing.

Looking at it I see a big problem however. You have $ on your varaiables in some places and not others so either you working on a V9 post taking stuff from the X post or you are working on a X post taking stuff from the V9 post either way this is not going to work. So if in V9 you do not use $ if in X you could use $. So if they had them they need them or the post does not see them as system variables and will post out 0,0,0 every time.

So you are trying to get info like this when posting.

Review Picture. this also takes care of offsets and what ones are used.
What Machine are you going to use this on? oh ya what version to of MC.

Yes I am trying to have it output this at the top of my post. Do you happen to have one that already does this for this machine?
