How can i get a value but without Axis name in front of it?

For example in GCodeBase.js "ZD" is defined with a prefix:

Code: Select all

    // variables:
    //                    name,                  ID,                     always, prefix, decimals, options
    this.registerVariable("zCuttingDepth",       "ZD",                   true,  "Z", "DEFAULT", "DEFAULT");

One can overwrite this in a custom postprocessor with:

Code: Select all

    this.registerVariable("zCuttingDepth",       "ZD",                   true,  "", "DEFAULT", "DEFAULT");

Custom postprocessors for G-Code are all based in one way or another on GCodeBase.js.
You should not alter GCodeBase.js as that is overwritten when QCAD/CAM is updated or reinstalled.
All postprocessors are based in one way or another on CamExporterV2.js (Without an open source reference).

G-Code as this is not functional to my knowledge, the CNC driver would not know what the '-4' in 'G1 -4' is for.

You can also use [ZD#] in your post processor to only output the value, and not the prefix.
