Post Processor Get Operation

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to obtain the name of the current operation in a post cps file? For example, "2D Contour".

Yes, the section that pulls the title of the toolpath is this one:

  if (hasParameter("operation-comment")) {
    var comment = getParameter("operation-comment");
    if (comment) {
      writeComment(comment);
    }
  }

Thanks, that did it. Is there documentation somewhere on parameters?

@Rob_Lockwood did the legwork here and put down just about everything I believe: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-computer-aided/community-resource-expressions-list/m-p/722...

You can always use the dump.cps post processor too to find quick things to reference, and it can be very handy once you know what to search for in the output (hint: don't post too much, it gets overwhelming).

Is there anyway to prevent the post processor from posting the Operation title? I run a Fadal and when I drip feed to the machine it won't ignore the title.
