I've always wanted to use Autorun more [looking forward from you to improve]

[[Da...]]

because it comes with no additional cost, wuhu.

But it only seemed like it's going to work for me if the part has the same geometry and size.
And I have silghtly different size on each part and the same geometry.

So let's solve this with reading .para on start, but when each part is measured, just rewrite the variable values, so it fits the next part.








Presettings:

// dont know how to multi line comment
// wait for seconds
wait(1)
// read from .para file
parafile = getActualInspectionDir() + "\external\" + "input" + ".para"
readPCMFile(parafile)

Postsettings:

// run python with powershell, needs cleanup
pws = getActualInspectionDir() + "\external\" + "run_python" + ".ps1"
comcal = "powershell.exe -File " + qm() + pws + qm()
systemCall(comcal)
wait(5)

Powershell script is then calling python.exe:






run_python.ps1:

$filepathvar = $PSScriptRoot
. "$filepathvar\python\python.exe" "$filepathvar\python_script\variable.py" "$filepathvar\input.para"

python.exe compiles and runs code/script variable.py:

#   2023 Original code GPT-3.5
#   2023 Modified by Rok Medic <dm70dm@gmail.com>

import sys

# Specify the file path
file_path = sys.argv[-1]

# Read the contents of the file
with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
  lines = file.readlines()

# Extract the variables and values from the lines
numVars = int(lines[0].split('=')[1])
variables = []
values = []

lines.pop(0)

for line in lines:
  parts = line.split('=')
  variable = parts[0].strip()
  value = parts[1].strip()
  variables.append(variable)
  values.append(value)

# Modify the lines with updated variables and values
new_lines = [
  f"{variable} = {value}\n" for variable, value in zip(variables, values[numVars:])
]
new_lines.insert(0, "numVars = "+str(numVars)+"\n")

# Write the updated lines back to the file
with open(file_path, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as file:
  file.writelines(new_lines)
  

We take var1 into diameter:







and var1 and var101 to throw out correctly named reports and .zmp files:






In the python folder is extracted from the link ->

Inside input.para, numVars = 2 will replace 2 lines each run:

numVars = 2
var1 = 24.999
var101 = 1111
var2 = 72.954
var102 = 2222
var3 = 62.955
var103 = 3333
var4 = 12.956
var104 = 4444

so no need for windows admin to install
