Macro: Block Z_MAX

[rafael.sansao]

Hello,

I would like to be checking what is the Z_max of the block (in relation to the workplane of the toolpath). Regardless of the type of block.

Attached is a project with some proposed situations.
Any ideas how to get this value by macro?

Note: I currently export the block, import and read the limits. I'm looking for a more effective method.

I use this and works for me

REAL Top_Of_Block = Block.Limits.ZMax
// MESSAGE INFO "Top Of Block Is $Top_Of_Block"
MESSAGE INFO "Top Of Block Is ${(round(Block.Limits.ZMax , 3))}"

Did you open the attached project?
Activate the toolpaths and run your macro. The result is always zero.

Note: In the name of the toolpath it has the value of Z_Max

Yes I used your attached project, but when I open the block form it has z max as 0 for every toolpath, not sure why it is showing that value for every toolpath. Is that the block after exporting importing?

Problem solved:

REAL ARRAY Lims[] = limits(block)
REAL MaxZ = Lims[5]
MESSAGE INFO $MaxZ
