Placeholders not working

[Kike]

Hi, I'm trying to use the script placeholders like:
[travel_speed] and [toolchange_retract_distance] but they are not converted to actual values in the G-Code, as you can see in the pictures I sent.

By the way, is there any document with all the available placeholders?

Thanks. Read all of the 6 pages of that post but still no answer.
My only guess is that placeholders like that don't work anymore, which is very bad news, cuz it's something easy implemented and very useful.

yeah, I do not think those variables exist, if they do, they certainly have a different name.

I think the answer to the whole question of placeholders is in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2306&p=9402&hilit=placeholder#p9402

Placeholders only work in the scripts they were designed for....and there doesn't seem to be a list of placeholders and the scripts they work in available for users to reference.

Probably already covered but I found that placeholders were specific to the printer. So, the "temp" one for one printer was different from another type of printer.

[kabali16]

I dont think so. Most commands are generic. When you say printer, are you referring to the gcode flavor ?

[wirlybird]

I'll have to go back and look and see if what I found is the same as what you guys are talking about.

Surely the layer change script has something like a [layer_number] so you can do something like:

M117 Layer [layer_number]

?
