Hi everybody
We have a renishaw tool probe on one of our machines, and we want to use it as a tool break control also, not just toolsetting.
But i Dont the ppost is setup to handle it,
I hve clicked the checkmark " break control" under the postprocessor tab, but nothing happens in the program when i post it, it looks the same as without it checked, even if a use the manual cnc option. So something ndeeds to be added to the post. but what?
I attached the post for you to see.
Thank you in advance

What format do you need? As I understand it, there are a couple different options. For my machine, I have:
G8P0
G65P9858H.01Txx (where "H" is my tolerance and "x" is the active tool number)
I also could put in a "D" value if I am using larger tools.
Hi Seth
Thanks for your reply.
Tht lokks about right, but not sure about the G8P0, but the rest of the code looks right.
Where do I put it in the Post?
Thank you very much for your help
There were several areas that needed modification, so rather than try to convey that info in a post, I figured I'd just make the changes for you. If you want to do a "File Compare" with your original file and the one I've attached, you will see what was changed 🙂
Let me know if that fits your needs. "All" I really did was copy over the code needed from a Haas post (tangent; I wish the post dev team put this much love into the non-Haas posts). I did not copy everything related to Break Control, as there is language in the Haas post involving rotaries, retracts, work planes and other functions. This is just a plain-jane tool breakage detection. It posts the code as I think it should work, but your machine may behave different.
TEST CAREFULLY. It may be required that all the Haas formatting be carried over. Not responsible for damage to machines 🙂
I'd suggest starting with the videos in this thread: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-forum/getting-started-modify-posts/td-p/6371381
After that, there was an awesome class put on at AU about post editing, but admittedly, it is a higher level course http://au.autodesk.com/au-online/classes-on-demand/class-catalog/classes/year-2017/fusion-360/mfg125...
