Comments in Program

[B. Jacobs]

I would like to put in a comment at the very begining of the program that state where to put the risers and clamps for the part that is being run. IE: riser in space 1,3,6 and clamp in space 5. What I dont want is for this message to appear at every time the part runs after the first one. We run alot of lot checks so I need the message on the first part then when i run the next 20 parts i don't want to see it. Can this be done.
Thanks ahead of time.

If you use marked sets you can have one set with the comment marked and another without.

Alternately you could mark all and run with the comment then manually unmark the comment for the rest.

If you are running multiple parts have you tried looping?

Looping? I have read about this on here but have never used. I am still new to this. How would this work?

I use a comment

C1 =COMMENT/YESNO,Do you need to view set up Instructions?
IF/C1.INPUT =="YES"
COMMENT/OPER,Place Part on Blocks in center of table per
,view in bottom left view of Sheet 1
,Part Numbers Face UP and to the left and rear
,

END_IF/
They would still have to click yes or no

This should work.

IF/COUNT == 0
COMMENT/OPER,Set up risers. Blah blah.
END_IF/
ASSIGN/COUNT = 1
<part program>

As long as you don't close out of your program the operator comment should only appear the first time.

Try this!
I hope it will help
