How do I customize manufacturing operation setup windows?

[Anonymous]

I would like to know if there is a way to customize the setup screens for manufacturing (CAM) operations.  For example, can I rename one of the options on the Cycle tab of a Drill operation?  Can I add a new option on the cycle tab of a tapping operation (adding a variable to use in my post processor)?

The available post processor for my machine is somewhat lacking and I would like to flesh it out, but will need to modify the operation setup screens to do what I want.

There is currently very little exposed through the CAM API and none of the capabilities you listed.  You can iterate over operations and see if they're up to date or not, process them, and even post them, but you can't see or edit any of the details of an operation.

Brian, Thanks for the reply.  I wasn't sure where this question fit, so, though perhaps not good etiquette, I also posted on the manufacture forum.  On that forum I was told that the capability that I'm looking for is being added, and I was offered the option of giving it a try while they're still fine tuning things.  So for anyone else looking for this capability, it appears that it is on the way.
