    Default Post problem with "documentname" variable

    Hi all,

    I am trying to include the Rhino Document name in my post using the variable "documentname" in the PROGRAM_START section, but it returns nothing. The "datetime" works fine. Any advice is much appreciated.

    From post:

    *PROGRAM_START*
    (Rhinodocument - "documentname")
    (Dated - "datetime")
    G00 G49 G40.1 G17 G80 G50 G90 G64
    G20
    *END_SECTION*

    From output file:

    (Rhinodocument - )
    (Dated - 3/15/2017 3:34:31 PM)
    G00 G49 G40.1 G17 G80 G50 G90 G64
    G20


    Thanks,
    Outlier

    You are correct. This doesn't work.

    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.

    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
