I just started to attempt modifing a active report to our needs. The thing i cant figure out is how to get the toolpath to show up darker.
The tool shows up fine and i would like the tool path to have the same appearance.
Kalibre,
The sample you gave me has me close. I have been experimenting with the code and I am getting spaces in the output.
;T2215 - EMD2215 - DIA 25.4MM - CORNER RAD 1.5
G0 T=" EMD2215"
I have tried making minor changes but still cant seem to get rid of the spaces.
ptoolcall #Tool change code
toolno =t$
#if home_type = m_one, pbld,
[
if strlen(strtool$) < 1, n$, *sgcode, "T=",no_spc$,*toolno, e$ #because you may want to just post the tool number if there is no tool name
else, n$, *sgcode, "T=", no_spc$,34, no_spc, *strtool$, no_spc$, *toolno, no_spc$,34 e$ #forgot the $
]
pbld, pn, *smtlchg, pe, pms
else, pbld, n$, *sg50, pfxout, pfyout, pfzout, e$
any help with where the spaces come from would be appreciated.
Kalibre, I finally had a little time to try this and I am not sure where to add this text. Do i put it in with the ptlchg$ ? And if this works can I put the letters in with the tool number on the parameters page?
Is there a way to adjust our post to not only give us a 4 digit tool number but at times we also use letters to identify our tools. we currently get a standard 4 digit tool code. example
T1234
M6
in some cases we would like
T="ABC1234"
M6
