Hi guys,
I am trying to get the Toolpath Group Name to post into programs with 2021. I can see it when posting the NCI file as parameter 20019, does anyone know what the pre-defined variable is? It is not in the 2021 Operation Parameter Reference.
There used to be a function called strtpgroupname which would get the name of the Toolpath Group out into the NC program. (actually... now that I think of it I'm not sure what would have happened if you had multiple toolpath groups!)
This function does not appear to work anymore - I updated an old X3 post and the customised toolpath group name (e.g. "Counter top") just comes out as "Toolpath Group-1".
Is there still a way of doing this?
