In the case of the G01 see smf question #85 change it to G1 instead of G01 and it will code with the G1. Also see question #80, G00 to G0. #92 G02 to G2, #93 G03 to G3. just some examples. This helps clean things up a little bit.

When I use to prepare manual programs before the PC and CAM software, I would hand code with the least number of characters before typing it manually and punching a paper tape. I.e. G1X10.Y-.3F.5 where as SmartCAM outputs G01X10.0Y-0.3F0.5 Does the same thing but looks totally different... -----Original Message----- From: Pete Ruehle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 1:01 PM To: 'Russ K'; Smartcam Users Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] POST "R" VALUES INSTEAD OF "I" "J" "K" VALUES Regarding your second question, the best you can do is use the D format in the machine file question #9, integer numeric format. If you use D3.4, you are allowing a max of 3 digits to the left and four digits to the right of the decimal point. Leading and trailing zeros are suppressed. However, if the number is less than 1, a zero will be output before the decimal. Also, if the number is a whole, ex: 10, a zero will be output after the decimal. Looking at the code that you posted, it appears that you are using the D3.4 format.

I also have to ask is there any setting in machine define to get rid of the leading and trailing zero's. exam. % G43Z0.1H2 G1Z-0.3F30.0 Y1.007F150.0 X3.598 Y1.493 X2.23 G2X1.9181Y1.548J0.912 G1X1.6109 G2X1.299Y1.493I-0.3119J0.857 G1X1.112 Y1.007 X2.355 Y0.695 X3.91 Y1.805 X2.23 G2X1.9791Y1.86J0.6 G1X1.55 G2X1.299Y1.805I-0.2509J0.545 G1X0.8 Y0.695 X2.355 G41D102Y0.4075 X4.1975 Y2.0925 X2.23 G2X2.0529Y2.1475J0.3125 G1X1.4761 G2X1.299Y2.0925I-0.1771J0.2575 G1X0.5125 Y0.4075 X2.355 G0Z0.1 G40 % Thanks Russ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================== ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================== ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================== ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
