Hi all

How to out tool information before the start events(UDE) information

Example
G53 Z0.0
T1 T71 M06
( ----------------------------- )
( CENTER DRILL )
( )
( CENTER DRILL 14 RADIAL HOLES. )
( ----------------------------- )
G65 P8000 X0.Y0.Z0.A-90.000C0.000M54Q55
G0 X0.0 Y1.709 A-90. C0.0 S1000 M03
G43 Z8.4375 H1

Where as i am getting output like below

( ----------------------------- )
( CENTER DRILL )
( )
( CENTER DRILL 14 RADIAL HOLES. )
( ----------------------------- )
G65 P8000 X0.Y0.Z0.A-90.000C0.000M54Q55
G53 Z0.0
T1 T71 M06
G0 X0.0 Y1.709 A-90. C0.0 S1000 M03
G43 Z8.4375 H1

I am using only Initial and first move for triggering these output.

Is there any solution where i can use only initial and first move events and print the output as per the above example / ref output.

Bingos,

"How to output Tool number before tool information"

I think you will need to move the UDE to the Tool change events. First tool and Auto Tool Change. Then you can control the output relative to the tool change output.

Are you using the review tool to see what event the output is from?

Thanks for reply.

Let me more specific, i am trying to keep my all start events, from move, auto tool change and first tool to only INITIAL & FIRST move.

by keeping only Initial and first move how to control the output.

I have pasted few blocks of sample of codes.

( .125 CENTER CUTTING END MILL ) From start events
( ) From start events
( MILL 1 SET OF 11 HOLES IN. ) From start events
( MILL 1 SET OF 11 HOLES OUT. ) From start events
( ----------------------------- ) From start events

Why, you are defeating the whole purpose of having a tool change event?

As far as Post Builder looks at the sequence of events. The tool change will have already happend before the initial move. That is why your getting the code in this order.


The only thing I can think of would be to add a tool change marker in the operation and then add the ude.
This is a lot more work on your part than having the post control the order.

You may be able to create your own block for tool change and then place then in the order you want. This would require some extra work with the post.
