Hi everyone!

I have a doubt about XACRO. Is possible from xacro to read a parameters in the Parameters Servers?

Thanks!

In case your use case is to use a ros parameter when using xacro to initialize another ros parameter inside roslaunch: that won't work because parameters are first all parsed and then set on the parameter server.

I don't think this is possible, but it is an interesting possibility. What is your use case?

For example, with a box xacro that read parameters into parameter server, I can load different boxes into rviz or Gazebo with the same xacro file
