Post Builder- getting Next move point

Post Builder- getting Next move point

Post Builder- getting Next move point

(OP)
Hi friends,
          In Post Builder, the current X, Y and Z positions are available in mom_pos(0), mom_pos(1) and mom_pos(2) respectively. Like this, Is there any MOM variable available to find the next X,Y and Z move?

In NX3, the tool path return point is set to X=0, Y=0, and Z=50. The NC data output of My post at the end of each toolpath looks like this

G00 Z50.0
X0.0 Y0.0
M5
M9

I dont need the output X0.0 Y0.0.

what is the way to modify my post, so that there is no X and Y return point ?

Please reply ASAP and briefly

Kindest Regards,

RE: Post Builder- getting Next move point

In Post Builder you can browse the mom variables.  It is under utilities - Browse MOM Variables.  This will give you a list of the mom variables line mom_nxt_pos

Hi joycejo,
  I am using NX3 and the Post Buider version is 3.2.1. I have checked the MOM variables but there is no mom_nxt_pos.

Is there anyway to find the next X, Y and Z values ?

Kindest Regards,

RE: Post Builder- getting Next move point

I am not sure which version of post Builder added the mom_nxt_pos array.  I am using V3.5.0  I think there is even a newer version available from UGS.  
Why not update to a newer version?
