Summary


Details

Is it possible to display a message at the very start of an operation to report whether Cutter Compensation will be used? The intent is to warn the machine operator ahead of time that a compensation value will need to be entered in the NC controller.

Solution

As with many variables in NX the Cutter Compensation status can only be read after the Cutcom command has been output when posting. A simple way to determine where that would be is to list the operation, as seen below. 


The Cutcom status is not, therefore, available when the header data is output. Attempting to call this variable in the header will display an error.
