If you have an existing post you should be able to find (closer to the end) where other parameters are called in from Mastercam.

Looks to me like you have to define a table with "fprmtbl" 

Also need to define a variable to set the parameter value to.

Then in the post you should be able to use the variable you defined to incorporate whatever logic you may need.

That's the best explanation I have. I'm sure someone else will have a fuller explanation as I'm a post editing newb. Hope it helps!

Best way is to use the "pparameter$" post block and add lines of logic to read the values from the 'sparameter$' string. You have to create variables first to "hold" the value you are looking to extract.

A Parameter Table can also be used, but it is often better to just grab "individual parameters" in 'pparameter$' instead of building a whole Parameter Table.

Also, do you need these values "in the Header" of the file (or in the Tool Table)? Or do you just need them "during normal toolpath operation output"?

Because if you want to capture values and output them in the Tool Table, you need to add logic to 'pwrttparams$', not just 'pparameter$'.
