Re: Post processing variables

I don't think there's a way to do that using the built-in {IF} commands, but it can certainly be done using a 5-10 line python script. Then you can just call that python script using the Simplify3D post processing section so it runs automatically anytime you export the gcode.

Re: Post processing variables

Where can we find the documentation on available variables ? 5.x was released last month ? for 200 USD and a 60USD upgrade for those waiting 5 years for it.. surely they can just toss out a list ? this is asinine.

Re: Post processing variables

I need to call the following variables to get their values inserted into (as part of) a starting script during slicing:
Prime pillar start position in X, and in Y
prime pillar width

Re: Post processing variables

I do not believe we have a placeholder variable for the prime pillar position or width, but that is certainly something that could be requested for a future release!
