I have been trying to figure out a way to pass the length of a tool in CATIA using variable %MFG_OVERALL_LGTH into a GUD on a Siemens 840d controller. Does anyone know the syntax to use in a Post-Processor instruction? This is to be used on the machine to compare the active set length to the programmed set length. Thanks in advance
