ModalVariable Methods

The ModalVariable type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Format	Formats the specified numeric value and returns the formatted text string if the value has changed from the previous call. If the value has not changed and Force is false, returns an empty string to avoid redundant output. This modal behavior reduces NC file size by eliminating repeated modal values.
	Reset	Resets the variable to force output on the next format call, overriding normal modal output rules. This ensures the next Format call produces output regardless of whether the value has changed.
