Shop docs, no mom variable for shank definition?

[Tingsryd]

I have not seen a method to define tool length in shop docs when using tools with a stepped shank. mom_tool_length is the neck length but does not include the shank length nor the shank taper length. I looked through the mom variables but could not find the variables I need.

Can anyone suggest a good work around?

NX7.5.5
NX8.0.2

I see quite a few variables related to the shank and holder lengths in 8.0.3.
Maybe you are looking for mom_tool_extension length?
This is how far the tool and shank stick out of the holder.

Var: mom_tool_holder_offset = 0.00000000000000000

Var: mom_holder_number_of_steps = 3
Var: mom_holder_step_length[0] = 11.60000000000000000
Var: mom_holder_step_length[1] = 32.29999999999999700
Var: mom_holder_step_length[2] = 15.90000000000000000
Var: mom_tool_holder_overall_length = 59.79999999999999700

Var: mom_tool_length = 10.00000000000000000
Var: mom_tool_flute_length = 8.19022000000000010

Var: mom_tool_shank_diameter = 7.70000000000000020
Var: mom_tool_tapered_shank_diameter = 10.00000000000000000
Var: mom_tool_tapered_shank_length = 80.00000000000000000
Var: mom_tool_tapered_shank_taper_length = 40.00000000000000000
Var: mom_tool_use_tapered_shank = Yes

Var: mom_tool_extension_length = 90.00000000000000000

I can't find mom_tool_extension_length in the docs var list. Is it new for 8.0.3?

By the way do you know when 8.0.3 will be released? I thought it was due out near the end of July.
