NX Converting all the Characters in an Operator Message to Upper Case

An Operator Message was added to the Start Events in a CAM program. Some of the characters in that message were lower case. When the posted program was loaded into the NC controller errors were reported. This happened because lower case text characters are not allowed on some controllers. What could be done in a Post Builder post to convert all Operator Messages to upper case?

Solution

To convert all text to upper case when posting add the following TCL code to the Post Builder -> Program & Tool Path -> Custom Command -> PB_CMD_MOM_operator_message.


if { [info exists mom_operator_message] } { 
set mom_operator_message [ string toupper $mom_operator_message ] 
}

The output from the Operator Message seen at the beginning of this article will look something like the following when posted.
