Add tool_label to your post anywhere you want the label to appear in the code.

Add tool_label to your post anywhere you want the label to appear in the code.

I add it to line 110, but it did not show up in the post.


110. Tool list format.
"(T",list_tool_number,"| ",tool_diameter," ",tool_label,"|""H",list_tool_number,"|","DIAM_OFF SET ",list_tool_number,"= ",tool_radius,")"

Do you output "DIAM_OFFSET" as text like that?

I see spaces, but that could be the forum doing that. Can you paste your 110 line in code blocks (The hash/pound sign at the format bar)

SBC is right, just put it where you want the Tool Name and info to appear.

It won`t call the tool label up correctly in the tool list, I usually have it appearing at the start of the feature right after the feature name.
So it would output something like:-

(JOB 1 POCKET)
(8mm Carbide Ball Nose 3 Flute)

If this is something like what you`re after then try putting the tool_label into lines 2,3 and 4 immediately after the feature comment, eg :-

feature_name_comment
tool_label

I did get it working with the feature, I was looking for that info in the head of the program.

Thanks all for your help.
