Hello all,
i have a postprocessor for a NUM control. I use a variable [TOOL_LENGTH] in the toolchange section.
My tool has a length of 112.51 mm. This leads to the output of
112.5100002
or 112.52 leads to
112.5199998
in the CNC file. The control throws ans error. Does anybody have a clou to avoid the high precision output without changing the tool length (112.5 is correctly postprocessed). Are there possibilities to change the precision?
Cheers Bodo

Re: precision of variables in postprocessor
Development has fixed this issue and will show up in 2016 version release. This fix cannot be back ported to 2015.

Re: precision of variables in postprocessor
We hope to get it last calendar quarter of this year. The problem was related to Float to Double conversion from the tool dialog to the post-processor. Since it affects a lot of code we cannot back port it over. Thanks for your patience.
