Edit post processor to add suffix for feed rate

nbarbars — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:16:04 GMT

I'd like to know how to edit my post processor to have it add xyz after the feed rate. I do this manually now but i think there should be a way to edit the post processor to have it add that automatically.

currently when i post process, it outputs the feed rate as this example:

G1 Z6.1125 F19.7

what i want it to do is simply add xyz after the feedrate as i have been manually:

G1 Z6.1125 F19.7 XYZ

using WinCNC post processor and Inventor HSM.

I'm new to all this so let me know if you need anything else in case this is not clear enough, thanks!

HI @nbarbars

Thanks for raising your concern via Forum.

To get 'XYZ' suffix for feedrate, you will likely need to edit the post processor to suit your particular needs

Open 'wincnc.cps' file in a 'Visual Studio Code' or 'Notepad++'

1. Go to line no. 88
2. add suffix:" XYZ"

From this :

var feedFormat = createFormat({decimals:(unit == MM ? 1 : 2)});

To this :

var feedFormat = createFormat({decimals:(unit == MM ? 1 : 2), suffix: " XYZ"});

Hope this explains.

Regards
