Cascading Post

Is it possible to cascade from a standard post, say the Haas NGC .cps into the standard Tool Sheet post so that every time you post NC code you get a setup sheet also?

 

I added the cascading capability to the start of the tool sheet post similar to the vericut post, I get g code output but nothing else or no alarms

capabilities = CAPABILITY_SETUP_SHEET | CAPABILITY_CASCADING;

There is unfortunately more work to do on the setup sheets posts to make them usable as cascading posts. I´ll see if we can make them work both ways as "normal" and as cascading.

 

For now, in the HAAS NGC post there is sample code in the onTerminate function which does exactly what you are looking for.

You only need to uncomment the code highlighted in the screenshot below.

The Excel setup sheet is used by default, but you can change that to your desired setup sheet post if you like.

The setup sheet posts needs to be stored within the same folder as that Haas post.

This is great but is there a way to add this to the post properties? I don't want to create the setup sheet every time I post.

 

Thanks.
