No forced tc during transform

I'd like to change my post so that when the machine is performing transform operations, forced tool changes are invalid.

The forced toolchange variable is force_tlchg$ and the operation ID of transform is xform_op_id$.

Does anyone know how I could use these in my ptlchg0$ postblock to create this functionality?

If you leave "force tool change" unchecked in the parent operation, the transform ops will not have tool changes.

My post will force a tool change anytime I fill in a comment, so you should also check "remove comments" in the transform operation.

We need forced tool change for other reasons. I just want it not to output during transform ops
