Mastercam post needed for router..hust control

[bullseye]

I am helping out a friend that just built a Router with an old Hust controller....

Problem is this old Controller does not use a Z value instead it uses a G11 P + or - value.....everything else from a Fanuc post works fine as we have been changing the Z values to P, Just getting to be a pain

I have Mastercam 9 and have tried every post I can find with no Luck

I have no idea how to change a Post but if someone could help that would be Great......Thanks in Advance

change the Z in the red areas to G11P

This should effectively replace any Z's in the program to G11P
( I don't think a space in the G11 P will work )

I can't open a post....what do you need to open one

[valmet58]

just use notepad

[Superman]

or the CIMCO editor that comes with Mastercam

You have opened the TXT file, not the actual PST file. This sets the names in the buttons fields of the dialog boxes, you play with this file when advanced customizing your Mastercam ( this is window dressing, not used at all for getting NC code )

There should be another file with the same filename but a .PST extension. This is your post and is extremely touchy, edit only a small section and test--- Do NOT edit a large part in one go, It is very hard to find a missing comma so take it easy

[bullseye]

I can not open the pst file......can I upload the post and have you mod it for me

[bullseye]

nevermind...it won't upload

the mpfan post works on everything else but the P

[Superman]

No show

You cannot attach a .PST file ?

You have to put it into a compressed or ZIP folder before attaching ( use the paper clip icon and "Browse" for that folder, then "Upload" to your message )
