NX 6 CAM - how to get Zmin from each one operation/program ?

NX 6 CAM - how to get Zmin from each one operation/program ?

(OP)
I`m wondering if there is any unigraphics`s option to get it automatically ?  without any intervention to postprocessor code.

RE: NX 6 CAM - how to get Zmin from each one operation/program ?

What do you mean by "automatically" getting the Z min?

You can list the tool path and look at the Z values.

You can use the tool path verify and verify the lowest Z value very quickly.

If you are looking for something else than you will need to customize the post or create an NX open program to present that value to you.

(OP)
I know that I can quickly check Z values by verify the tool path, but when You got for example 10 programs in which one about 5 operation it takes a few minutes to check it, especially when sometimes displaying tool path also takes a several seconds.

I`m looking a different way to get this value.
