Activate Setup and Create NCprogram

[dames123]

When I manually "activate" a setup. The stock shows and creating an NCProgram ports over the post from the machine and the program comment from the setup. It has to be activated with the stock showing though for it to work. In other words, it can't just be active, it has to be purposely clicked on to show stock.

see video: https://app.screencast.com/favqFh5yKg1jJ

In the following code, I can activate the setup, but it doesn't show stock and port the info over to the NCProgram. Is there a way to do this or am I going to have to code in the post and comments? I should be able to activate the setup properly, correct? That way I have one script that handles every machine instead of creating one script per machine with the post and everything else called out in the script. Am I on the right track or is this not possible?

Thanks.

@dames123 -San.

I think CAM objects require more settings than CAD objects.
Many settings should need to be accessed through the parameters property.

If you have not read this section of the documentation, it would be good and helpful to read it all.

You may also find this sample code useful.

@kandennti  thank you. I'll look into that.
