Post processor - write PART Z dimension

[julien.meklis]

Hi,

I built a Centroid CNC based router machine and I woult like to put my dust shoe on a separate axis that will be driven directly by an arduino so I need the Z dimension of the part.

Is there a way to get this value in the NC file? I'll parse it directly with a macro.

Or maybe there is another way to do it.

Thanks for your answear

In my postprocessor the blockform for in machine simulation is given out by workpiece values.
Maybe you can use it!

{ // stock - workpiece
    var workpiece = getWorkpiece();
    var delta = Vector.diff(workpiece.upper, workpiece.lower);
    if (delta.isNonZero()) {
      writeBlock("BLK FORM 0.1 Z X" + xyzFormat.format(workpiece.lower.x) + " Y" + xyzFormat.format(workpiece.lower.y) + " Z" + xyzFormat.format(workpiece.lower.z));
      writeBlock("BLK FORM 0.2 X" + xyzFormat.format(workpiece.upper.x) + " Y" + xyzFormat.format(workpiece.upper.y) + " Z" + xyzFormat.format(workpiece.upper.z));
      writeComment("");
    }

 I think

var workpiece = getWorkpiece();
xyzFormat.format(workpiece.upper.z)

Ohh yes!!

I didn’t look to post processor class description but to documentation which is incomplete.

Thank you so much 👍
