How to show requested tool during tool change?
Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2022 9:37 am
Hi,
I have been playing with (manual) tool changes and used Alex Pinsons excellent code for handling tool offsets (viewtopic.php?p=684#p684)
When the script runs, it shows the generic tool change message.
What I want to do is show the tool number in the message as well. Any ideas for making that work?
This is the post output from Fusion, with a call for tool 1 just before the M6:
Any suggestions for what I need to add here to pick up the "T1" from the M6 command so it can be displayed in the popup on screen?
