Compare TlTool with Tool

[MKTech]

In my NetHook I need to compare tools from operations (Mastercam.Database.Tool) with tools from the tool library (CNC.Tool.Interop.TlTool).

e.g. I want to compare the name -> OperationTool.Name = TlTool.Name
so far good, but if I want to compare the diameter?
OperationTool.Diameter = TlTool.? Gaugediameter?
Gaugediameter always returns 0 for me
and if I want to compare the ToolType?
OperationTool.ToolTypeID can be compared, but in TlTool ToolTypeID is only a GUID.

So how can I convert a TlTool to a Tool to compare parameters, or what are the comparable parameters?

Thanks in advance for any help

PS: I use Mastercam 2022

You will need to repost this on the official Masercam forum to get support , you may also want to look at the toolnetapi example under nethook downloads from the 3rd party developers section on mastercam.com as it likely will answer your question.

I also attached a  project with some toolnetapi example on a similar post on mastercam.com, its one of the most recent posts.
