Feedrates Postprocessor

[boomstra]

I'm building a postprocessor with postbuilder.
I want the feedrates in the NC-program to be output with parameters. How can I establish that?

Can you be more specific?

You want additional parameters output with the feedrate,
Or you want the feedrate output on additional blocks?
...and specifically which?

Can you show an example with a few lines from the output
showing what you have now, and what you want?

Fetch all set feeds (verify if set). Then output them as parameters at the start of an operation or tool change. Use the motion parameters to output the right parameter number after each move if it is changed. Obviously some of the formats need to change for instance you will need to output in string format or use a special field e.g. with a leader that looks like F=#. How you implement it depends upon your own taste. It is fun to program takes some time to get it right. Most of my postprocessors use parametric feeds as a standard feature. Even inverse feeds are included then I use formulas e.g. F=0.55*#123.
