User Parameters Control
User Parameters are a set of predefined parameters, in the Motion Parameters Table, which are used to set user-defined Post Processor parameters.
The list of parameters to be displayed, their names and values are defined in an XML file:
...\ProgramData\Cimatron\Cimatron\2026.0\Data\PostParams.xml
This XML file can be edited by any XML/text editor.
This XML file is loaded into any new NC file and is saved within the NC ELT file (if the Cimatron ELT is opened on another computer, the original settings are used). This file is also saved as part of the document template; this enables you to use more than one predefined setting.
To replace the PostParams file stored in an open NC file with the PostParams.xml file stored in the Data folder mentioned above, use the function Replace Post Parameters (under the NC Utilities > Utilities menu).
The 30 available parameters are divided into 5 different types, each with 6 parameters (post names):
