Post processor adding M01 after each part

[J0nesy]

I'm finally getting to the point where I have enough work to layout an entire sheet to cut. However I've had some issues with parts popping up and my torch running into them. I'd like to have the post processor add the M01 optional stop code after each part in a sheet. I've manually added it to the code the past couple time I've cut and it seems to do exactly what I want. Just need to figure out how to automate it.

I've tried the code snippet thing, and maybe that would be better way to go, but I can't get it to work correctly either. I add the plasma cut step, then code snippet. Then move to the next part and do the same. But once the post processor is ran it puts all the M01 snippets at the very end of the code.

I'm open to suggestions on other ways to accomplish this.

I think it should work of you put it in the OnNewPart function.

Not sure if the "OnNewPart" function would work if you had a file with more than one part in it. Another suggestion is to use the Cutting rules as you can add a pause at the end of a cut see attached. But (always the but) again that may not work for the same reason. I would ask Les at SheetCam he reply quickly to question.

Ok change of plans I did create a new cut rule and it did place it at the end of each part, I had a file with 4 parts and they show the pause at the end of each cut. Only one cut operation was planned for the 4 parts. The rule for the stop was M05 M01, this stops the torch and then pauses after that. when you make it call it what you want when saving.

Thanks for the tips. I'll give them a try this weekend.
