Script operations

A script operation can be added from the menu

or from the tool bar

You will then get a script operation dialog

You can add your script in the "script" box, like this:

Click "OK" to add the script operation.

When you do "Post Process" you will see the toolpath.

You can see from the g-code, there is no tool change, feedrate, or spindle speed command output.

The easiest way to find the script for this, is to create a profile or pocket operation, do "Post Process" and copy and paste the script for these, from the Program window.

These are:

tool_change( id=1) # where 1 is the tool number

spindle(7000)

feedrate_hv(100, 100)

flush_nc()

So, your script may now look like this:

and the gcode may look like this:
