Hi @reeltime273 ,
To add Stock Size, you can add the codes in your post as shown below. For clarity, I have added original and modified codes below:
Original:
writeComment(localize("POST GENERATED ON") + " " + now.toLocaleDateString() + " " + now.toLocaleTimeString()); // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeln(" ");
writeComment(programComment);
writeProgramHeader();
Modified:
writeComment(localize("POST GENERATED ON") + " " + now.toLocaleDateString() + " " + now.toLocaleTimeString()); // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
var workpiece = getWorkpiece();
var delta = Vector.diff(workpiece.upper, workpiece.lower);
writeComment(" Stock dimension X = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.x) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Y = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.y) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Z = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.z) + " ");
writeln(" ");
writeComment(programComment);
writeProgramHeader();
To add notes, you can add the codes in your post as shown below.
Original:
properties.writeTools = {
title : "Write tool list",
description: "Output a tool list in the header of the program.",
group : "formats",
type : "boolean",
value : true,
scope : "post"
};
function writeProgramHeader() {
// dump machine configuration
var vendor = machineConfiguration.getVendor();
Modified:
properties.writeTools = {
title: "Write tool list",
description: "Output a tool list in the header of the program.",
group: "formats",
type: "boolean",
value: true,
scope: "post"
};
function writeProgramHeader() {
if (hasGlobalParameter("job-notes")) {
var notes = getGlobalParameter("job-notes");
if (notes) {
writeBlock("( -----SETUP NOTES----- )")
var lines = String(notes).split("\n");
var r1 = new RegExp("^[\\s]+", "g");
var r2 = new RegExp("[\\s]+$", "g");
for (line in lines) {
var comment = lines[line].replace(r1, "").replace(r2, "");
if (comment) {
writeComment(comment);
}
}
writeBlock("( --------------------- )")
}
}
// dump machine configuration
var vendor = machineConfiguration.getVendor();
The final output will look like the screenshot below. I hope this helps.

Hi @reeltime273 ,
To get the rest of the setup notes, you can modify the codes in the post. Here are the original and modified codes for clarity:
Original:
writeComment(localize("POST GENERATED ON") + " " + now.toLocaleDateString() + " " + now.toLocaleTimeString()); // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
var workpiece = getWorkpiece();
var delta = Vector.diff(workpiece.upper, workpiece.lower);
writeComment(" Stock dimension X = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.x) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Y = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.y) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Z = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.z) + " ");
writeln(" ");
writeComment(programComment);
writeProgramHeader();
Modified:
writeComment(localize("POST GENERATED ON") + " " + now.toLocaleDateString() + " " + now.toLocaleTimeString()); // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
var workpiece = getWorkpiece();
var delta = Vector.diff(workpiece.upper, workpiece.lower);
writeComment(" Stock dimension X = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.x) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Y = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.y) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Z = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.z) + " ");
var partX = getGlobalParameter("part-upper-x") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-x")
var partY = getGlobalParameter("part-upper-y") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-y")
var partZ = getGlobalParameter("part-upper-z") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-z")
writeComment(" Part dimension X = " + xyzFormat.format(partX) + " ");
writeComment(" Part dimension Y = " + xyzFormat.format(partY) + " ");
writeComment(" Part dimension Z = " + xyzFormat.format(partZ) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS X= " + xyzFormat.format(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-x")) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS Y= " + xyzFormat.format(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-y")) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS Z= " + xyzFormat.format((getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-z"))) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS X= " + xyzFormat.format((getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-x"))) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS Y= " + xyzFormat.format((getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-y"))) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS Z= " + xyzFormat.format((getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-z"))) + " ");
writeln(" ");
writeComment(programComment);
writeProgramHeader();
After these modifications, the output will contain more detailed setup notes. You can see an example in the screenshot below.
I hope this helps!

Hi @reeltime273 ,
I have checked your post,to rectify this issue, you can modify the codes (mentioned below) as per the attached screenshot:
writeComment("PROGRAM NAME AND OPERATION: " + programName);
writeComment("MACHINE MANUFACTURER: " + "BRIDGEPORT SERIES 1") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("CNC PROGRAM: " + "CNC_DC BY JIM DAWSON") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("CADCAM SOFTWARE: FUSION 360") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("POST PROCESSOR: GENERIC MACH 3 MILL BY ARTSOFT") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("PROGRAMMED BY: MARK BATES") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment(localize("POST GENERATED ON") + " " + now.toLocaleDateString() + " " + now.toLocaleTimeString()); // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
var workpiece = getWorkpiece();
var delta = Vector.diff(workpiece.upper, workpiece.lower);
writeComment(" Stock dimension X = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.x) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Y = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.y) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Z = " + xyzFormat.format(delta.z) + " ");
var partX = toPreciseUnit((getGlobalParameter("part-upper-x") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-x")), MM);
var partY = toPreciseUnit((getGlobalParameter("part-upper-y") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-y")), MM);
var partZ = toPreciseUnit((getGlobalParameter("part-upper-z") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-z")), MM);
writeComment(" Part dimension X = " + xyzFormat.format(partX) + " ");
writeComment(" Part dimension Y = " + xyzFormat.format(partY) + " ");
writeComment(" Part dimension Z = " + xyzFormat.format(partZ) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS X= " + xyzFormat.format(toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-x"), MM)) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS Y= " + xyzFormat.format(toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-y"), MM)) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS Z= " + xyzFormat.format(toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-z"), MM)) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS X= " + xyzFormat.format(toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-x"), MM)) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS Y= " + xyzFormat.format(toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-y"), MM)) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS Z= " + xyzFormat.format(toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-z"), MM)) + " ");
Comments were repeated twice because of duplication of codes mentioned in the screenshot as "Not needed".
According to the given format, if there are numbers following the decimal point, zeroes will be added until there are four decimal places in total. However, if there are no numbers after the decimal point, the number will be displayed as it is, without any extra zeroes
Output should look like the screenshot below:
I hope this helps!

Hi @reeltime273,
I'm not certain if there's an option to add Trailing Zeroes. Perhaps @seth.madore could shed some light on this.
However, you can certainly modify the post to match your desired format using the codes provided below:
writeComment("PROGRAM NAME AND OPERATION: " + programName);
writeComment("MACHINE MANUFACTURER: " + "BRIDGEPORT SERIES 1") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("CNC PROGRAM: " + "CNC_DC BY JIM DAWSON") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("CADCAM SOFTWARE: FUSION 360") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("POST PROCESSOR: GENERIC MACH 3 MILL BY ARTSOFT") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment("PROGRAMMED BY: MARK BATES") // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
writeComment(localize("POST GENERATED ON") + " " + now.toLocaleDateString() + " " + now.toLocaleTimeString()); // ADDED 04.09.2024 BY MB
var workpiece = getWorkpiece();
var delta = Vector.diff(workpiece.upper, workpiece.lower);
writeComment(" Stock dimension X = " + (delta.x).toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Y = " + (delta.y).toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock dimension Z = " + (delta.z).toFixed(2) + " ");
var partX = toPreciseUnit((getGlobalParameter("part-upper-x") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-x")), MM);
var partY = toPreciseUnit((getGlobalParameter("part-upper-y") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-y")), MM);
var partZ = toPreciseUnit((getGlobalParameter("part-upper-z") - getGlobalParameter("part-lower-z")), MM);
writeComment(" Part dimension X = " + partX.toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Part dimension Y = " + partY.toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Part dimension Z = " + partZ.toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS X= " + toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-x"), MM).toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS Y= " + toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-y"), MM).toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Lower in WCS Z= " + toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-lower-z"), MM).toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS X= " + toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-x"), MM).toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS Y= " + toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-y"), MM).toFixed(2) + " ");
writeComment(" Stock Upper in WCS Z= " + toPreciseUnit(getGlobalParameter("stock-upper-z"), MM).toFixed(2) + " ");
I hope you find this useful!
