Macro to check names of toolpath against the tool used

Alir3za — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 19:15:15 GMT

Hey all.
I need a macro that checks the names of all toolpaths against the tool used in them and reports any mismatches with a warning or something similar. For example, if a toolpath is named "r4" but the tool used in it is "r3," it should report that.
Thank in advance for your help.

Try this code :

String msg = "" FOREACH tp IN folder('toolpath') { if $tp.name != $tp.tool.name { $msg = $msg + crlf + $tp.name } } if $msg != "" { $msg = "The list of toolpaths which do not match the tool:" + $msg message error $msg }
