This kind of thing can soemtimes be done with an action command
at the : prompt, or action command via a pulldown menu.  Not
sure if everything is going to the log window.  If not, see if
there is a "more verbose" option to start pcb with that would
put all details to the log window.   Then you can take the log window command
and run it at the comand line with your numbers inserted.

PS  This is a long standing way of doing things with the chip design tools from Cadence,
and would be a good thing for us to emulate, and document for users.
