Stop Manual NC Operations being posted before the end of another operation

Stop Manual NC Operations being posted before the end of another operation

When adding manual nc like a comment, action or a stop in HSMWorks, I place the manual nc where I would like it either before or after a certain operation. However when posted out, the manual nc gets posted within the operation just before the last few lines of code in that operation. I then have to manually re-arrange the post code and line numbering using hsm editor every time.  This has happened on all versions of HSMWorks and all versions of post processors. Please see attached photos.  The Tailstock M21 is just one of a few custom actions I have made however the issue still applies to all other actions, stops, comments that are built into hsmworks/post processor.  The stop photo is a good example. The stop gets posted before the code has told the machine to go home, ideally we want the machine to finish its operation completely and then stop.  From my understanding this will require a bit of work by Autodesk on their generic posts. I think it would be a great idea if Autodesk implemented this as a standard  for their generic posts

This fix is necessary... the current way that this (fusion360) handles manual NC passthrough is wrong, it does not match with the logical order that the manual NC code is added to the setup. 

 

manually fixing what this every time you post is painful 😣 

 

implementing correcting positioning of the manual nc passthough in the output files would be fantastic 😀

This is has been improved with the function onManualNC  this will allow for a single point of entry for handling Manual NC commands. 

The article also been added to training material as well as it is described the HSM post processor forum as well
