Adding input dialog


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for suggestions on how and where to add inputs in mastercam that will output in the post processor.

For example:

I have a G131 code with F, E, D, L, & R values that can control "Super nurbs" in our machine. Is it possible to have additional input boxes to type in values that will output to the post?... Or even if there were a check box to indicate off, roughing, semi-finish or finishing for each operation?

 

The other option I would like to add is per tool number:

I need to output a line to the post "G111 PSR=(some input value based on tool number) PY=(toolradius)"

The input value based on toolnumber can be 0, 45, or 270 depending on the tool. I would like to be able to enter this value somewhere in Mastercam tool parameters so that it sticks with the tool.

 

I am planning on having our reseller do this, but I would just like to know the limitations before going to them.
