Hi guys,
I have a very old Mastercam post for my Speedio S700X1. It only emits J format G77 calls, like this:
G99G77Z-.5512R.03J31.75S2000
I would like it to us this format for metric threads:
G99G77Z-.5512R.03I0.8S2000
Sometimes the J format looks OK math-wise, like in the above case J31.75 is exactly the same as I0.8. However, I have some experience recently that makes me think that the control does not treat these the same way.
Anyway, I want my post to use I for metric and J for English. I have been hand-editing J's to I's for awhile, but sometimes I miss one, and it's also possible to make a typo and then have a bad day (I don't want to talk about it ).
Can someone show me the code in their post that switches to I format for metric threads?
Thanks, and regards.
Mike
