Tap TIP TREATMENT parameter number, please help

[PcRobotic]

Hello everyone,

  In X9 version under the DEFINE TOOL GEOMETRY, then DEFINE TAP....

 

     Under the TIP TREATMENT, there are two options for us to choose:

     1: PLUG

     2: BOTTOMING

 

 

   I would like to use these value to my post and I would like to know what is the parameter number for each of them.  I tried to look at the old parameter PDF files and they didn't exist.  Thank you for your respond.

I'm not up to X9 still, but I would assume it's similar to X6.  Do a parameter dump.

 

Look for this:

pparameter$      #Information from parameters
      #"pwrttparam", ~prmcode$, ~sparameter$, e$

 

Get rid of hashtag:

pparameter$      #Information from parameters
      "pwrttparam", ~prmcode$, ~sparameter$, e$

 

Post it twice, 1 with bottoming, 1 with plug setting and then run a file compare, you should be able to find a parameter number there.

That's a very handy tool bd, thanks.

Hello BD,

Create a new postblock:

pTipTreatment

         if TipTreatment = 0, "PLUG "

         if TipTreatment = 1, "BOTTOMING "

 

Or your could use an argument with string variables, but this is cheap and easy.

Thank you BD,

   It works perfect as I expected.  I'm thankful for your valuable knowledge.
