User Defined Settings Input Macro Help

Beta_Librae — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 15:25:00 GMT

Good Day Everybody,

I'm hopeful that someone can point me in the right direction with this one.

I have a quill extension built into my machine post. The distance it extends is controlled by a user defined setting in the toolpath.

I can't get passed line 6 in the debugger. It's actually erroring out the debugger.

STRING LIST Toolpaths = INPUT ENTITY MULTIPLE TOOLPATH "Select Toolpaths to Modify"
DIALOGS MESSAGE OFF
FOREACH $ENTITY IN $Toolpaths {
ACTIVATE TOOLPATH $ENTITY
EDIT USERPAR toolpath_strategy NAME "Waxis"
EDIT USERPAR toolpath_strategy TYPE 'Real'
CREATE USERPAR toolpath_strategy
EDIT USERPAR toolpath_strategy "Waxis" '15'
}
DIALOGS MESSAGE ON
PROJECT SAVE

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try this:

entity list $tps = input entity multiple toolpath 'Select:' foreach $tp in $tps { activate toolpath ${tp.Name} if not member($tp.Userparameters._keys,'Waxis') { EDIT USERPAR toolpath_strategy $tp.Name TYPE 'Real' CREATE USERPAR toolpath_strategy $tp.Name "Waxis" } edit par "entity('toolpath','').Userparameters.Waxis" '15' }
