Manual NC - Force tool change

Lonnie.Cady — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 12:42:51 GMT

Can someone shed some light on how the Force tool change is being handled in the post processor. I have looked thru and don't see any mention of it. I would like to make some changes based if it is a force tool change.

var insertToolCall = isFirstSection() ||
currentSection.getForceToolChange && currentSection.getForceToolChange() ||
(tool.number != getPreviousSection().getTool().number);

see haas.cps post processor.

@AchimN thank you.

I thought I did a search for it but I guess I was doing something wrong.
