HI @Anonymous

Thanks for raising your concern via Forum .

Open post file in a 'Visual Studio Code' or 'Notepad++' to do the required modifications.

1. Define variable called ' var sequenceNumberForToolChange; ' , you can define in '// collected state'

2. Search 'function writeBlock' , Add below condition in line number 202

if (properties.showSequenceNumbers || sequenceNumberForToolChange) {

3. Set the state as false for 'sequenceNumberForToolChange' in line number 217

sequenceNumberForToolChange = false;

Modified condition will be as below.

4. Search 'writeBlock("T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number), mFormat.format(6));' in editor.

5. Write ' sequenceNumberForToolChange = true; ' before toolcall.

Regards

Thank you so much for your help works perfectly!!!! I have another question, on the initial start of the program, between all tool changes the machine goes to a safe position of:

G53 Z0

G53 X0 Y0 B0 C0

I would like to machine to go home in the only Z-axis and reposition "B & C" where necessary and eliminate the

G53 X0 Y0 B0 C0

I have attached the new version of the post with the "N" number on tool change and G90 added for the "EIA" non-modal restart.

HI @Anonymous

Thanks for the feedback.

If you don't want to output XYBC homing codes for every tool change and in program start, you can just comment it out with "//" in front of it.

// if (insertToolCall) { // writeBlock(gFormat.format(53), gMotionModal.format(0), "X" + xyzFormat.format(0), "Y" + xyzFormat.format(0), "B" + xyzFormat.format(0), "C" + xyzFormat.format(0)); // retract // forceABC(); // } else { // writeRetract(X, Y); // }

Save the file and test the post carefully.

Regards

@Arun.rs this works but the problem is if you transitioning from an operation where C or B was not at 0 deg, nothing forces it back on the next operation to proper B C location. I have attached a file, for example, after drill, the holes nothings reset B C going to tool 5
