The settings for the Land value are usually done at the machine.

 

Regardless of the land value, the program is the same when doing 2d contours with a taper.

 

Having said that, the post can be modified to output the land and part thickness variables (IJ for a Fanuc, Z's for a Mits) using the XY and UV values from the parameters page.

 

Contact your dealer for more info.

 

V9's parameter page represents this much better.
