cutter comp type in tool table

[BenzB]

All our posts at one point added the cutter comp type to the tool call out in the tool table. It still outputs the table but the comp is no more.

This is what is in our posts and has been, to the best of my knowledge, since X6. I'm not entirely sure when this broke. My suspicion is the prmcode 15346 may not be valid any more.

My post reference manuals are for X9 and it shows valid in there so did something perhaps change in 2017?

ptooltable      #Tooltable output
      "(", t$, "-", pstrtool,
        [if ccomp_type > 0 & ccomp_type < 4, "-", *scomp_type], ")", e$

15346 appears to still be in the 2017 documentation, its not greyed out.

Is it an MPMaster post?

No. I have discovered the xtooltable function which is new for 2017/2018. I have started a new thread on that. It seems to work much better and easier to implement.

Yeah, I've implemented it in a couple of my posts too. It is pretty nice and very customizable.
