Proper Thread Cycle in CAM Post-processor and Real world

[Buckshott00]

Hello,

I am using UG NX 7.5.1.5 with the total machining bundle.

I want to run a proper G76 for threading. That way I can change things quickly, and I don't have to build the thread cycle line by line.

The attached file from the post builder help basically tells me that I can't do it the way I would like to
i.e. G76P112233
G76 X Z P Q F

But since this is such a standard issue I thought I'd ask how other places have dealt with this?

Thanks.
