tool units in post processor

[probotix]

I am trying to modify my post processor.  It appears that tool.unit gives the document unit instead of the unit specified in the tool table.

Hi @probotix 

tool.unit is an documant unit it always stays the you are setting while post processing

you can use this

if(hasParameter("operation:tool_unit")){
  toolunit = getParameter("operation:tool_unit");
}

That doesn't work. I am trying to do this in the tool list comments before the tool sections. I am trying to access it through the Tool class. Any other ideas.

Here is a simplified version of what I am trying to do:

	var tools = getToolTable();
    if (tools.getNumberOfTools() > 0) {
      for (var i = 0; i < tools.getNumberOfTools(); ++i) {
        var tool = tools.getTool(i);		
		toolunit = tool.getUnit();		
        writeComment(toolunit);
      }
    }
