NX Removing redundant XY Coordinate Output from a Drill Cycle when posting with Post Builder

The posted output for a drilling cycle repeats the XY position from the previous motion line. How can this XY data be suppressed in the cycle output line?

Solution

Redundant XY output can be removed by adding the Custom Command seen below. Place this command as the first line in Program & Tool Path -> Program -> Canned Cycles -> Common Parameters.




global mom_prev_pos mom_pos 

if {[info exists $mom_prev_pos(0)]== 0 } {
   if {[ string compare $mom_prev_pos(0) $mom_pos(0)] == 0 }  {
      #MOM_output_literal "they are the same"
      MOM_suppress once X
   }
}

if {[info exists $mom_prev_pos(1)]== 0 } {
   if {[ string compare $mom_prev_pos(1) $mom_pos(1)] == 0 }  {
      #MOM_output_literal "they are the same"
      MOM_suppress once Y
   }
}


The output might look something like the picture below when complete. Notice that the XY words have been removed.
