Another question about C-Hook programming.

[sigmawave]

Hi, every one.

 

I have a subject to get the tool information from each operation. I found some issues with this topic.

 

For some tools, they are both Milling tool and Lathe tool in Mastercam, such as "Center Drill".

Let's take it as an example.

 

If the center drill is used in a Milling operation, I can't get the drill diameter (not the body diameter) data from the tool. But if there is a center drill used in a lathe operation. I can get the same parameter from the ltool varaible.

 

There are some other tools with the same problem. like: reamer, face mill. etc.

 

Does anybody meet the same problem as me?

 

If you know the solution, please tell me.

 

Thanks a lot!
