Post Builder not allowing access to...
(OP)
Hello,
I am in the process of customizing my post and adding I,J,K, & P variables to my drill deep & drill chip break cycles.
I,J, & K no problem! I added them by using user defined expressions and the following:
$mom_cycle_step1 for I,
$mom_cycle_step2 for J, and
$mom_cycle_step3 for K
But it will not let me use step4 for P
(The 'P' word on a fadal in this case is a value that dictates the feed distance before the next peck)
How can I add this fourth variable?

$mom_cycle_step4 command that is not working...
By default, the post I am working with is using $mom_cycle_step1 for the 'Q' value, which I have allready changed to my 'I'...
Thanks Beforehand!

"...it won't let me read the value from step 4 thru 7 where I define the Step Values in my drilling cycle parameters. It is the $mom_cycle_step4 command that is not working..."

$mom_cycle_step1, $mom_cycle_step2, and $mom_cycle_step3.
What I am trying to accomplish accessing the values I enter under 'Cycle Parameters-> Step Values Defined' so that I can use them to set the P word in my g-code. The three variables/expressions mentioned above correspond to Step#1-thru-#3, but what variables/expressions can I use to accces Step#4-thru-#7?
I can do the work-around and have the operator set the "dwell" to the distance desired and just have them ignore the unit and intended use but that is just not right in my book...

You will need to use something else, or a UDE or attribute to capture an additional value.

Sound like I'm in a little over my head for now then. Guess we'll stick with my workaround untill I get a chance to go to the Post Builder class unless I can get my hand on some further documentation... :)
I hope you all have a great weekend!

I hope I don't sound like too much of a smarty pants there. It was not my intentions.
