Need help with some post modifications please.

CGPM — Sat, 10 Dec 2016 01:46:06 GMT

I am trying to add a 4th axis to my post and am running into some problems, plus I would like to do some cleaning up. I have been studying up on Java Script and how to modify posts but am at a point that some help would really save a lot of time. I would like to learn this because I am real picky about my code so I am asking for help here before going the "official" route. If there is a post that does what I am looking for then please let me know what it is so I can compare and modify mine accordingly. Thanks in advance for any help.

My main issues are:

1) The fixture offset after the tool change only shows up after the first tool. After that it is in the line calling up the offsets and spindle. This is a problem since the A axis moves are before the fixture offset is called in the subsequent tool changes.

2) When the A axis is moved in the middle of a program it sends the Z axis home cancelling both height and fixture offsets. After A axis rotation then the offsets are called again and the spindle speed and M3 are called. I would at least like to remove the spindle speed and M3 codes if I can't avoid having to call the fixture and height offsets.
