    You are correct. This doesn't work.

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for your reply. Do you know of any alternate means of achieving the same end?

    Thanks!

    Re: Post problem with "documentname" variable

    Unfortunately not. It's on the bug list so it will get fixed eventually. There are a few other variables I would like to see added as well.

    1) Stock to leave
    2) Step over
    3) Step down
    4) Strategy (climb, conventional or mixed)

    Just ran into this bug today.

    Hoping that the "documentname" bug fix will be coming soon.


    Would also love to see those variables Dan posted. They would be great for clarifying the output code.

    Re: Post problem with "documentname" variable

    Hello All,

    I'm not sure if the document name is still a issue but I have change the following line in the post:

    *PROGRAM_START*
    N"lnbr" ; Program made on: "datetime"
    N"lnbr" ; Documentname: “documentname"


    Te vervangen door:


    *PROGRAM_START*
    N"lnbr" ;
    Program made on

    : "datetime"


    N"lnbr" ; Documentname : “pgmnr"

    After I change this I have the document name on top of my generated NC file
