Adding "Frontside Stock Offset" to post processor

Anonymous — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 10:29:21 GMT

I'm trying to get the parameter "Frontside Stock Offset" from the CAM (lathe), to be printed through the post processor. This dimension represents the distance between the highest z-dimension of the part and the highest z-dimension of the stock material.

It seems like the parameter should be "stockZHigh", when looking at the dump-file.

I've tried "writeComment(stockZHigh);" and "writeComment(job_stockOffsetFront);", but with no success. Do you have any tips on how I should proceed?

Please try this:

if (hasParameter("operation:stockZHigh")) {
  writeComment(getParameter("operation:stockZHigh"));
}

Thank you for the answer.

It seems like I don't have the parameter stockZHigh. The post processor is not entering the if-function.

You are right, this should work instead:

if (hasGlobalParameter("operation:stockZHigh")) {
  writeComment(getGlobalParameter("operation:stockZHigh"));
}
