Todd, One way would be to go into the planner and manually enter the info into the Step Notes. Then you can output the info in your posted file using the #TLCMT variable. I don't have any idea where the info might be saved. I doubt that it is. I have a question for you: do you know a trick to surface machine using a negative finish allowance greater than the tool radius? I need to cut multiple surfaces .150" undersize with a 1/8" ball mill.
