Post Processor: Replacing A Toolpath Section with A Custom Section

Working with the current DN/Doosan Fanuc MillTurn post. 

 

Long story short, I am trying to replace an entire section of the output code with some custom code. I have the custom code figured out. I am running into issues with tail ends of code from onSection() and onSectionEnd() still being output. 

 

For example, lets say I want to output something like this and have my custom code overwrite a parting operation:

 

N1(Turn)
XZblahblah
M5
M9
G0 G28 U0V0W0
M1
Custom Code Here
N3(Turn)
...

 

But I keep Ending Up with

 

N1(Turn)
XZblahblah
M5
M9
G0 G28 U0V0W0
M1
M5 <<<"duplicate" (from "end" of skipped section / start of onSection or from onSectionEnd)
M9
G0 G28 U0V0W0
M1
Custom Code Here
N3(Turn)
...

 

 

I have tried strategies like: if(getParameter("operation-strategy") == "turningPart") { skipRemainingSection();}

 

and also trying to get rid of code after the fact such as: if(!isFirstSection() && getPreviousSection().getParameter("operation-strategy) == "turningPart" )

 

but nothing has quite worked so far.

 

Edit to add: I did notice that the note for skipRemainingSection() doesnt work on onSectionEnd(), so I tried getting around that section with if statements. Still not quite working for me.

 

I realize I am asking this in vague terms, but I am looking for suggestions on strategies to accomplish this, not necessarily someone to write the exact code for me. 

 

Thanks

I have attached a test file and a modified post. In the test file, I have two action commands, one to turn off all modifications, the other one to toggle where I am currently getting stuck. Edits are marked with //m4. 

 

Also included some code screenshots, as the max attachment limit is 3. When I try to remove the end lines of code, the start lines from (FACESUB) are also removed, as well as G350 (CONFIRM CUTOFF) pops up. (Maybe it still thinks machineState.stockTransferIsActive = true. )

I think I found the main source of my issues. Gonna work through the edge cases tomorrow.
