You can use the Post Variable Names dialog to rename post variables to make them easier to use.
You can insert a variable into a Format using the <P1> to <P100> reserved words, or by using the <PVAR:User-visible Name> reserved word.
You can specify what the variables resolve to in the NC code by using the Post Variables dialog in the FeatureCAM document, either at the document level or for each operation.
You can specify a User-visible Comment that is displayed in the HTML documentation:
Some machines have a laser tool checking module that checks if the tool has been damaged during machining, which is enabled with a subroutine call on the control.
To use a variable to enable tool checking for specific operations:
<IF>[eq(<PVAR:tool_check>,"YES")]<THEN>
G65 P9031<EOB>// perform laser tool check
<ENDIF>
You can include information at the start of the NC code for the operator, such as the part number:
(Part number=<PVAR:part_number>) <EOB>
