That is the one problem /question and it is why they brought me in here. They do thousands of programs here every year and most are all just cut a paste and hand write the code. Maybe a little more information would clarify what you are trying to do. I mean sounds like you already have the output you wanted. but why not just use the text file as your. It looks like what your after is simply to post whatever is in the text file, forgive me if im missing something. # - Decimal support for sequence number output (set 'Increment sequence number' in CD to a decimal value # - Support for 10 additional canned text options for X # cycle support (see pmisc2$ and pdrlcst$) # - Additional rigid tapping cycle (separate from original tapping cycle) and initial custom drill # - Additional date, time and data path output options (see pheader) # - Supports X comments including machine name, group name and group comment output (see pcomment2) # Do not stage 1st tool, stage 1st tool at last tool change or stage 1st tool at end of file (peof) # - Enhanced tool staging options - enable or disable in CD. # Tooltable output includes cutter compensation type and stock to leave information # comments at tool change or tooltable in header with tool comments at tool change (see tool_info) # - Enhanced tool information - Added switch for tool comments only, tooltable in header with no tool

# - Switch to force rotary output to index mode when tool plane positioning with a full rotary (see force_index) # - Support for signed rotary axis direction and M-code specified axis direction (see use_rotmcode) # - Support for rotary axis lock/unlock codes when in index mode (see rot_lock) # - Variable initialization with SET_BY_MD or SET_BY_CD are overwritten in this post by parameter or # units/min and units/sec for inverse time feed rate. # max feed rates and type of feed for rotary motion from MD and CD. # - Post sets rotary 'switches' from MD and CD settings. # - Machine definition, control definition and toolpath group parameter read sections added. # It is designed to support the features of Mastercam X Mill.

I know I can just put the code in the manual entry area but what about when it is longer then 750 characters and then I want to use text file.

Basically I want it to only post what is in the text. Where in this post is the text output code controlled? I want to remove some lines that it posts when I use a text file for code.
