Help editing sequential mill operations

Help editing sequential mill operations

Help editing sequential mill operations

(OP)
I am wanting to use a .vb journal or something similar to edit the initial and final stock inside of the loop control in sequential mill operation. My goal is to invert the initial and final stock regardless of what the actual numbers are. I just want my initial to become my final and my final to become my initial. Has anyone been able to pull this off? I'm not sure if it will be possible. Thanks for the help.

RE: Help editing sequential mill operations

Sequential Milling is a legacy operation.
I think your only automation choices are Grip NC and Keystroke macros.

Do you think it is possible to do what I want in Grip NC and do you know where I can find some examples of a Grip program that will edit an operation. I can't seem to find much on the subject.

Thanks,
Jeremiah
