G98/99 posting

[m.laplante.gm]

Hello, 

My post doesn't ouput G98/99 even if <CYCLE-RTRCT> is in my post. It leaves a blank space on my G-code line. 

When I post with a generic Fanuc post, I do have the G98/99 in my G-code. 

It seems like something else is blocking it.

Does someone have a idea?

Thanks!

Max

Hi, Max.

Here are a couple things you can look at:

First, make sure the G98/G99 codes are entered into the post. In Xbuild, go to CNC Info > NC Codes and make sure they are there.

Next, make sure you are using "Combine similar holes into canned cycle" in the Strategy tab of the feature. If that's a setting you want all the time, make sure it is enabled on the Drilling tab of your Machining Attributes/Configurations.

That should do it. I hope that helps.

Hi Chris,

My G codes in Xbuild are defined and my strategy is the same as on your screen shot.

As you can see on my screen shot,  I'm posting a blank space where I want my G99. My other posts are fine but this one doesn't cooperate!

Hey, Max.

If you don't mind, attach your post, and I will test it on my end.

Thanks,

Hi Chri,

I rewrote my post, testing each modification instead of batching them.

I found that it's glitching when I move the command before
the command.

I usually program: G99 G81 ... It seems that I have to output: G81 G99 ...

I didn't test yet. I hope the machine's gonna be happy with it!

thanks!

Sounds good!

Hello,

I have the same problem.

CYCLE-RTRCT don't work with turning features but only with mill features, so if the turning hole is the first operation the value of CYCLE-RTRCT is a space.

I forced the value of CYCLE-RTRCT at the beginning with: "[:<CYCLE-RTRCT> = "G98"]".
