I complain about is in Build 678, and that is the way tool description display in the front of the program. In build 758 they work perfected, now in build 769, they are the same as in build 678.

This is what I want:

O1234 (BOBCAD3.NC)
(DATE - TUE. 07/26/2011 , TIME - 05:03PM)
(POST - HAAS VF)

(T1 - 0.375 DIA. ENDMILL ROUGH)
(T2 - 0.5 DIA. CENTER DRILL)
(T3 - 0.201 DIA. DRILL)
(T4 - 1/4-20 TAP)

This is what I get Below

%
O100 (AT-1640 FIXTURE.NC)
(DATE - MON. 10/15/2012 , TIME - 11:23AM)
(POST - HAAS VF)

(T1 - 1.5 DIA. )
(T2 - 1. DIA. )
(T3 - 0.5 DIA. )
(T4 - 0.25 DIA. )
(T5 - 0.25 DIA. )
(T6 - 0.1875 DIA. )
(T7 - 0.177 DIA. )

Maybe from Bobcad has a answer why it work in Build 758.

The output format you have above does not match the default output from the HaasVF.MillPst post processor. I assume you have a modified post processor you are using for your testing.

If you have a custom post processor you will need to post it here so we can determine if this is a posting issue of software comment output issue. I assume it's how the posting engine is processing the post differently for the different versions but without the post processor that cannot be determined.

[Alex_Cole]

The default installed HaasVF.MillPst file uses the following tool comment output code

"(TOOL #",list_tool_number," ", tool_diameter, " ", tool_name, ")"

If you are wanting the "Tool Label" that you see in the tool library to be output you need to change all instances of the above code with

"(TOOL #",list_tool_number," ", tool_diameter, " ", tool_label, ")"

Notice "tool_name" has been changed to "tool_label"

This should give you the output you are looking for if my assumptions are correct.

Hope this helps

I have try both tool_name, and Tool_Label. As I said, it work in Build 758, just that build had other problems. I have attach my post.

For those that are interested:

It appears with some quick testing that the variable "tool_name" currently is working for 32 bit systems but not outputting on 64 bit systems. I just tested this.

So it seems that if you are running a 64 bit system you need to modify your post processors to use the "tool_label" variable instead of using the "tool_name" variable. Once you do this then you will have your tool descriptions outputting.

I am running 64 bit, and tool_label does not work with output_tool_list, at the head of the program. It does how ever work tool changes.
