Solved: Can't Offset That Object

Hi Thomas, Thank you for this. I'm having the same request as the OP. We too use 54-59 for G54-G59. I think you will have to make the following modification to setOffsetSysVar: The way you have it would output #5200 for G54 where it should be #5220 since 54-54=0 and 20.0+5200=5200. I was hoping to piggyback off of this post and address the extended offsets questions from above. I have a GTAC ticket open but it was suggested I post on this topic. The way we do extended offsets is we put in 1 through 48 into the Fixture Offset field and our Post outputs G54.1 P1 when we enter '1', G54.1 P2 when we enter '2', etc. If you see above, I've taken care of the work offset variable assignment for this case but how would I need to change the metacode G54.1 to correctly pick up my offsets?

My standard offsets work because each offset is its own metacode but with G54.1, the P numbers change. I've added G54.1 but I can only use 1 number shown below: The software won't allow multiple nodes of the same metacode so would I need to modify the P address maybe? I also don't have access to a lot of methods, GMeActivateOffset being one of them. Thank you for your time. Hi agrivas, Please forgive my stubbornness but our posts already deal with the work offsets appropriately.

Solved: Can't Offset That Objective For Resume

I'm not sure of the math you guys are referring to. If it's just the math to output the correct G54-G59 or G54.1 P##, our post already handles that. All the posts for all our machines use this method and all our programmers are used to this system. Since our machines only go up to G54.1 P48, using '54' for G54 or '58' for G58 makes sense for us right now. The OOTB posts that I've seen simply take the Fixture Offset number and add 53 then output that G word. My request is having to do with the MCF file being able to pick up an extended offset MCS.

I imagine it'd involve changing the G54.1 metacode and the P address slightly to suit our needs, but I'm having trouble tweaking it becuase the FanucFamily.CCF file has those two as read only so I can't even copy them to modify them. Thanks for the responses, any help would be appreciated.
