Need to modify a turning post tool call

[WJR_12]

I searched by do not find the answers to my questions, so am posting.

Customizing a Fanuc post to suit a machine not in the library and have two small issues with the tool call. 

Instead of T0101, it needs to be T01 / 01. 

Where and how can I change that? 

I would like to add a "force tool change" in the post options and in the user menu. 

Where and how for that, as well. 

Please and thank you.

Hi

find this section

 writeToolBlock("T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number * 100 + compensationOffset));
    if (tool.comment) {
      writeComment(tool.comment);
    }

and change to:

writeToolBlock("T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number) + "/" + toolFormat.format(compensationOffset));
    if (tool.comment) {
      writeComment(tool.comment);
    }

You will also need to modify the toolFormat definition from:

var toolFormat = createFormat({decimals:0, width:4, zeropad:true});

To:

var toolFormat = createFormat({decimals:0, width:2, zeropad:true});

For the Force tool change I'm not sure about doing that in the post but you can ad a manual NC to force a tool change in your operations list.
