NX Postbuilder-mom variable for feature/hole depth
NX Postbuilder-mom variable for feature/hole depth
(OP)
Is there a mom variable to return a value for a feature depth? I use the "find features" to find/create holes in a part. Now I want to be able to post the depth value. I am using a "spot drill" operation so I cannot use $mom_cycle_feed_to type variables as the operation does not go to the bottom of the hole. I can see the depth value in the "machining feature navigator" so I assume there is a way to access it. I've looked through the mom list in PB and cant find anything. Any ideas? Thanks!!!! I realize this may be unorthodox.

If your using a cycle you can get the mom_cycle_feed_to value - this is the depth of the cycle.

If you see the feature depth in the operation dialog, then look through the review tool for the variable.
If you don't see it in the operation dialog, you would need to extend your post with an API program, if there is API available to extract it from the manufacturing feature.
