ADDING CERTAIN iPROPERTIES DETAILS TO POST PROCESSOR

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 19:03:50 GMT

I'm looking to add certain details from the "Project" tab under iProperties to the beginning of the G-Code I post process. For example, I want the post to output these 4 things from the project tab

Part number

Description

Revision

Vendor

To be reflected in the program like this, before the tool list...

O1001

(Program Comment)

(CAP-10607-m)

(14 inch bearing cap 10607)

(Revision B)

(Riverside)

I hope this is an easy addition to my Okuma Mill post processor

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous,

you can add this to your postprocessor (under the machine setup in onOpen() / replace the program comment):

//iProperties var partNumber = getGlobalParameter("inventor:Part Number"); var description = getGlobalParameter("inventor:Description"); var revision = getGlobalParameter("inventor:Revision Number"); var vendor = getGlobalParameter("inventor:Vendor"); if (programComment) { writeComment(programComment); } if (partNumber) { writeComment(localize("Partnumber: ") + partNumber); } if (description) { writeComment(localize("Description: ") + description); } if (revision) { writeComment(localize("Revision: ") + revision); } if (vendor) { writeComment(localize("Vendor: ") + vendor); }

Hello again!

Been a while. I'm looking to do this again but for Fusion 360 since Autodesk is no longer supporting Inventor Cam. I looked at the dumper file for F360 and it doesn't look like there is anywhere to pull this data from? When I post from Fusion using this script I get an error on this line. Is there a way to pull model properties in Fusion to be posted in the program header?
