In the post I created a feature that I at the end of the operation lists the maximum depth to which the tool will go and now I need a function that should me moved to the beginning of operations for the utility.

Thank you for any help

I think the most common way to do this is to finish the posprocessing, then open the file, edit it, and close it using tcl.

I am sure you could get help on this in the Siemens NX Manufacturing forum - a lot of post and tcl experts hang out there.
