Force tool change

[Bob W.]

When I select 'force tool change' in an operation is the forced tool change triggered before or after the operation? My tool break detect only functions at tool changes and for this specific part this rougher is used extensively around the part (3+2) and it could cause a nasty crash if it broke early on.

If you force a toolchange, it is triggered before (or the start) of the operation.

 

So if you have five operations, one after the other, using the same tool and you set operation number three to be a forced toolchange, the toolchange will be output at the start of operation number three. Is that what you want?

Yes, thank you!
