That did it. Thank You

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. 

Thanks for the reply. i ment to mention I am looking for a lower turret mounted steady. I have tried looking on line but cant seem to find anything.

Is there a steady rest model for 2022 ? 

I figured it out. Thank You for all your help

On second thought I could eliminate this line all together

;T2215  - EMD2215              - DIA 25.4MM  - CORNER RAD 1.5

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?

Thanks for the replys. I will give this a try.

Yes this is for a siemens. How the shop is set up we name tools by the holder so we could have different types of tool outputs in the same program.

Ok Thanks for the reply

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
