Move M01 to end of operation

[chris8YCHC]

Hello,

   I am currently using generic turning Fanuc post. I would like to change it so when it does a M01 optional stop it does it at the end of the operation after the G28 U0 W0, not at the beginning (like below). I have tried changing location of M01, but I can only make it stop posting the M01 when I comment it out the

if (!isFirstSection() && properties.optionalStop) {
      onCommand(COMMAND_OPTIONAL_STOP);

So how can I go about doing this?

How it is currently posting:

N1
(TURNING FACE)
T0101
G54
M8
G98
G97 S4000 M3
G0 X3.1496 Z0.

What I want it to look like:

Do you have "Optional Stop" turned on at the post dialog?

This is the code I get from that:

Yes I have it turned on but I want it at the very end of each operation instead of the beginning of a operation before a tool change.

We can agree that this is purely cosmetic right?

But see the attached post. Does that work like you want?

Not gonna lie, I had to read that a few times... The end of an operation IS the beginning of the next 😉

It's a quick and simple fix. Do you have Visual Studio Code? Autodesk made an add-in that works slick as.....well, it's slick.

Sorry Laurens, I made a ScreenCast and I didn't want my time wasted 😄

No problem @seth.madore you did the better explanation. I did the better post-editing.

I don't doubt for a bit! My post edits are more....hack and slash and a bit of "eh, it works"

[chris8YCHC]

This worked just fine. Thanks for all the help.
