creating an "index" command that the postprocessor will interpret

creating an "index" command that the postprocessor will interpret

creating an "index" command that the postprocessor will interpret

(OP)
We are currently outputting a CLSF and posting through GPM.  we use a user defined event for creating an idex of operations:
Index/000 - name of index
Index/000,transl,0,0,0,0 - gives x and y coordinates and number of copies of the operations.
Now, we are moving away from generating the clsf and utilizing a postprocessor.  Is there a way to create an array of operations without instancing them?  Instances just clutter up the navigator and are not parametric to the initial operation.  If I change my array of features, I have to delete the instanced operations and create new ones.

RE: creating an "index" command that the postprocessor will interpret

The short answer is no.  Instancing the operations is the only answer I have found at the moment.  We have been using sub programs and some macro-b commands at the control or multiple work offsets to eliminate the need of indexing or instances.

Thanks, we are still looking into it.  If we find a solution we will pass it along.
