nc program output folder macro variable

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know the variable that would call out the current output folder under NC preferences?

STRING $nc_output = $widget('NCPreferences.Shell.MachinePref.Frame1.Folder').value
PRINT $nc_output

I'm trying to do this..

STRING $nc_output =
$widget('NCPreferences.Shell.MachinePref.Frame1.Folder').value PRINT
$nc_output
SETUPSHEETS FILE "$nc_output/{project}/{project}.html"

where my setup sheets would actually be created in the same directory
wheregrams to.

When I try to insert this line at the beginning to reset the file and delete the existing folder it does not work.

STRING $Reset = $widget('NCPreferences.Shell.MachinePref.Frame1.Folder').value + '/{project}'
DELETE DIRECTORY $Reset

Am i missing something?

If you use the dedduger macro, it's easy to verify that the variable path is correct:

STRING $Reset = $widget('NCPreferences.Shell.MachinePref.Frame1.Folder').value + '/' + project_pathname(1)
DELETE DIRECTORY $Reset
