Hi, I'm having an issue with an old post processor for an AXYZ router with an A2MC controller. Ever since the post processor was created, we have added a tool to our library. The router has 3 heads and each head has its own M code for mister coolant On/Off. Head #2 & #3 have exclusive tools that we leave in there and head #1 is where we swap the rest of the tools. So basically we need the post to go "if Tool #4 is called, activate mister for head #3, if tool #2 is called, activate mister for head #2, etc. I looked up the post in notepad and I found the following: # Coolant M code selection sm09 : "M09" #Coolant Off sm08 : "M418" #Mister tool On # 1-5-6-7 sm08_1 : "M420" #Mister tool On # 2 sm08_2 : "M424" #Mister tool On # 4 sm09_1 : "M419" #Mister tool Off # 1-5-6-7 sm09_2 : "M421" #Mister tool Off # 2 sm09_3 : "M425" #Mister tool Off # 4 scoolant : "" #Target for string fstrsel sm09 coolant$ scoolant 7 -1 As you can see, each head has its own set of M code. Head #1 is M418/419, Head #2 is M420/421 and Head #3 is M424/425. We now have a tool #9 and I don't know how to add it to head #1's pool of available tools (it currently triggers on tool #1-5-6-7). How do I tell the post processor to trigger M418/419 on tool #9 as well? I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything. Thank you very much for your time

The problem is that when i choose a tool for a cetain path, it changes the tool# I have set in my library. I then have to change it back everytime in the toolpath parameters. I've looked up other similar problems on the site but maybe havn't found the right one. Can someone point me in the right direction. It is quite annoying! Kovi
