Tool Material?

[Bm150]

Could any be able to tell me how to change the "strings" that control these values.
I wish to change one to "diamond"

Thanks Ben

I believe it can be changed in the control file
- similar to how you can alter the display text for the canned cycles, etc

this creates the "Post Text" at the end of your post

these fields are identified by a number. I forget where the actual info is......but try the "Documents" folder...one of the PDFs ...probably the Post Processor PDF

Thank you very much, I will have a look in that direction.

Cheers

Can't find anything. Also these are read by the tool manager ( stand alone one) without knowing the machine/ control type?

My reseller tells me it's hard coded and can't be changed. ...

I wasn't completely confident about it being changeable

But, in case you ( or others) weren't able to find how to do these customizations
go to the help index and search for "post text"

I altered my "drill cycle" names for a better meaning on the operation page, and to give easer filling in on the parameters page
- line number missing,...field name stays as default
- "" ------blanks out the field, no value can be input
- \\2 ---- is a value placed into the field, like a default value
the [actual drill cycles] is what field names are displayed on the parameter pages for filling in
the [drill cycle descriptions] is what gets displayed on the operation page for the operation type

You could utilize the Misc Intergers or Misc Reals for controlling other machine features ie fixture clamps ON/OFF, or tolerance control settings
un-used items are usually defined in the post processor header area
