Manual NC Measure Tool Issue with HAAS NGC post processor

[jacichon]

Hello,

I'm trying to incorporate the Manual NC Measure Tool into my work flow for the first time and am having trouble with the "H" variable posting incorrectly.

I read through some other post and understand the "H" variable should be the following

"Length below holder plus holder length (tool.bodyLength + tool.holderLength)"

In the example provided the holder length plus length below the holder should be 4.35 inches but the output is "H3.". I tried playing with the holder length and length below holder values and nothing changed. I then tried changing the overall length from 3 to 4.35 inches and the output matched.

Is there a setting or step I am missing to have the length calculated as shown above?

Thanks,

Jason

The "Overall Length" is the field you want to be manipulating for the proper code to be output.

Thanks for your help. Seems like a reasonable work around just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
