Add "G325", *tloffno, "Q.005" right after the line that has "G08", "P0".

It should be in ptlchg or pretract by the looks of the output.

I have tried that and it will output the next tool H# but not the current tool...I now put the line you stated above in ptoolend and it works for the most part, the only problem is it ouputs it after the end of some tool paths as well..Can I put the post somewhere for viewing?

You'll need to use the prv_t variable to pick up the last tool.

 

You'll need to set up an output variable and format it correctly - say 'last_t'

 

Then before using last_t, set it equal to prv_t

I wanted to say thanks to Dave for helping me out with my post question. I have been busy like all of us of course and just got to it. I had to add a couple of extra lines as follows:

 

G53 Z0

M9

/G325 H(PREVIOUS) Q.005

 

Piece of cake!!

Thanks again.

I had a quick look at this again and realize I should have said prv_tlngno rather than prv_t. The idea is essentially the same.
