(OP)
Is it possible to get dimensions of the blank part with common MOM functions/vars?

RE: SIemens NX Post: WORKPIECE dimensions

If you use common expressions for the blank variables. then yes.  You will need to know the expression names.  for example if the expression for the length is called blank_x


set blank_xlen "[MOM_ask_ess_exp_value blank_x]"

a bit tricky for me. mb there is a some kind of list of expressions?

RE: SIemens NX Post: WORKPIECE dimensions


Yes there is a list of expressions - Tools - Expressions or Information - Expressions.
The post needs to know what the names of the expressions are before you can get the values.  A more elaborate method would be to create a UDE where you can input the expression names and then output the values in the post.  Either way you will still need to know the expression name. yes it's a bit tricky.
