Mastercam 8 post help for Dynapath 10

[greggv]

Hi! I'm using Mastercam's mpdypth post, and most of it is fine. Two problems: First tool call is output like this (M03T01S2400$) I need a seperate M06 for the tool, I need the tool designated as T0101 (tool number and tool offset) and I need a seperate M03. How do I do this? The next tool calls are OK, except for the tool number as stated above. Thanks! Gregg

Look at the section that is posting correctly, and modify the first the same way. I know that is a generic answer, but its better than contact your reseller BTW, if you attach your post I will look at it for you, but the best way to learn is to do it....

I have a post for the Dyna Path Deltal controller. (The old Autocon). I have a post that posts out nearly everything I need. I have been able to modify the post to get everything except the tool designation that you are talking about T0101 I'ts somewhere in the fms area, but I can't get it to work.

FYI: The MPDyna24 is not a Dynapath post.

Borrow it...
Are you going to give it back when your done?

I have several posts for Dynapath. You can contact me if you like.

I had my post edited for everything I needed except the tool designation. I needed T0101 (for tool one), but only could get T0001 posted out. This isn't a post solution, but it works and I don't have to make ANY edits. Straight to the machine then cycle start. For tool one for instance, I name the tool "101" for two "202" ect. in Masterecam. Tool 11 would be "1111". I just got tired of having to edit especially when I was running a lot of tools. Not a perfect solution but one I can live with.
