Details

Text explaining an operation was added to the Notes utility in an NX Operation. How can Post Builder be configured to output this data? This text is added by selecting the Tool, Prg & Machine Control -> Notes -> Notes icon as seen in the picture below.



The menu for this Notes utility can be seen below.



The Note column was added to the Operation Navigator as seen below. Hovering over the icon displays the content.



Solution

To output the text of this Note in Post Builder add a Custom Command with the following code to the Start of Path procedure.


### Custom Command to output Note array
global mom_operation_notes
global mom_sys_control_out
global mom_sys_control_in

set co $mom_sys_control_out
set ci $mom_sys_control_in

set i 0
if { [info exists mom_operation_notes] } {
   while {$i<[array size mom_operation_notes] } {
      MOM_output_literal "$co $mom_operation_notes($i) $ci"
      incr i
   }
   array unset mom_operation_notes
}
### End


The Custom Command should look like the picture seen below.



This Custom Command will output the text of the Note something like the picture seen below.
