Hi, I am trying to force a spindle output in UGPost to be a variable - something along the lines of S[#123*3.14]
This would be standard within the program so no references would be needed to any RPM that may of been assigned within NX4.
Ive tried added an MOM_output_literal "S\[123*3.14\]" command within a PROC mom_spindle_speed to my posts .tcl file outside of UGpost (in a texteditor) but when i load the post into UGpost the original script overwrites my knife and forked one.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You will need to change the format of the spindle speed item to string instead of the current. Subsequently you can set the variable you wish and then it should work out.
