How to format Q in a Drill Cycle G83

[sales]

Hello,
Standard Fanuc Lathe post

Trying to figure out this formatting issue.

Original post output: Drill cycle G83 z __ R__ Q.1 F__

Modification output:  Drill cycle G83 z __ R__ Q1000 F__

The default formatting is Q.1 we need it to be Q1000    ( Q.1 multiplied by 10000).

Thank you.

Hello,

You could approach this two ways, you could create a new format for the q output and set the scaling to be correct. Alternatively, find the correct Q line in the post (search for (83) and you should see it):

"Q" + xFormat.format(cycle.incrementalDepth),


and simply change it to be

"Q" + xFormat.format(cycle.incrementalDepth*10000),


Thats really just a quick fix. It would probably be better practice to create the correct formatting, i just havent got my laptop so cant explain that way just yet!

Let me know if that does what your looking for 🙂

I just replied in your other thread Mike. Please can you try and focus your questions to one place so we don't double up our efforts.
