Hi guys, We are using a 4 digit tool number in our tool library that works great for the Makino mills we have. We are trying to standardize this process over to some Hurcos. The Makinos use H1 D1 for offsets because we use the tool management. The limitation on the Hurcos is that they only have 199 registers for diameter offsets, and apparently the restisters cannot be re-numbered. So regardless of the tool number, the diameter offset needs to use 1-199. I have a buffer that extracts tool numbers from the pwrtt$ postblock. This is what the tool table looks like at the beginning of the program: ( T3293 ( GARR VRX - 27763 0.5 Bull-Nosed Endmill )) ( T3299 ( GARR VRX - 61374 0.5 Flat Endmill )) ( T5200 ( HARVEY - 68062-C3 0.0625 Roundover Tool )) ( T5415 ( INTERNAL TOOL - 64-2880-C 0.375 Chamfer Mill )) ( T5806 ( HARVEY - 43362-C3 0.375 Slotting Tool or Saw )) Here is a sample array: 0. 3293. 1. 0. 3299. 2. 0. 5200. 3. 0. 5415. 4. 0. 5806. 5. The second column represents the tool number, the third represents the initial order in which the tools run. The problem is that sometimes tools repeat after others have already run. How can I look up the second column and match it to the third so that any time T5200 comes up in the program, it will always use offset 3? Thanks in advance
