BoBCad Version 30 G code issue

[bcnu]

I have version 30 and my post processor is not posting a G43 code or a H number for my tool length offsets . I opened up the post processor and on line 14 and line 45 it shows the G43 in there on those lines. I just got Version 30 coming from version 26 so is there something I need to do different so the G43 and my H number will show up in my post. Thanks in advance for any info. I have googeled and searched how to fix the problem with out any luck.

You may have to hard code them into a new post. I did this on mine and it worked. There are instructions on how the post code works, and Al D has some videos - patience and you can work it out.

Thanks for the reply, I made a copy of my post and have been editing the copy and experimenting with it.

Are lines 2 or 3 calling any of the variables that would output that tool information?

See anything I need to change ? For some reason I have to have G43 H1 Z1. all on the same line to get it to work .

I probably wouldnt be best to help direct what to put, but i dont like the changes made...

They look like variabkes that are used in the actual move generation portions of the output.

Things like tooling info and the "z1" should be comeing from other variables, derived from the actual machine setups, like the clearance plane, and the tooling calls.

Maybe al can be hailed to take a look at it? Or someone more familar than i....

I changed number 2 to this, which is putting the rapid_move, zr in front of the length_offset. Seems to be working, I will have to see if I need to edit 3 any. I fogot to mention this is for a Mitsubishi FCA 330
