Due to the large number of available variables to be accessed for post processor modification the BobCAD-CAM software when installed includes a copy of a reference guide. The reference guide can be found in the C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V29\Posts\Documentation directory in a standard installation of BobCAD-CAM. The most up to date document that includes the majority of information you will need is called Post Variable and API Reference.pdf
Inside the reference guide you will find a listing of all variables and API calls that are available in the BobCAD-CAM posting engine.
Example:
|
xr |
|
|
Mill Job |
Returns the X axis rapid location with the prefix defined by post question: 684
|
|
Lathe Job |
Returns the X axis rapid location with the prefix defined on post question: 684
|
|
Mill Turn Job |
Returns the X axis rapid location with the prefix defined by the post mapping section of the post processor. The devices have their prefixes defined based on DeviceID. The prefix mapping blocks are 5000 through 5049 for Absolute, and 5050 through 5099 for Incremental
|
In this example the first line is the name of the variable that is available in the posting engine. There are descriptions for each available Job Type that include any prefix or post questions that pertain to the variable. At the end of the description you will find information for the available API to be used in the VBScripting blocks.
