Last preload tool

[sevenfive85]

Can someone please help me with the codes below? I want the last preload tool to always be T99.  Thank you

   if (insertToolCall) {
     if (!machineConfiguration.isHeadConfiguration()) {
     var nextTool = getNextTool(tool.number);
       if (nextTool) { // is there a next tool after this
         writeBlock(gMotionModal.format(0), gFormat.format(currentSection.isMultiAxis() ? 43.5 : 43), zOutput.format(initialPosition.z),
         hFormat.format(lengthOffset), setCoolant(tool.coolant), ("T" + toolFormat.format(nextTool.number)));
          // set coolant after we have positioned at Z
          // setCoolant(tool.coolant);
        } else {  // no next tool
        var section = getSection(0);
        var firstToolNumber = section.getTool().number;
        if (tool.number != firstToolNumber) {
       writeBlock(gMotionModal.format(0), gFormat.format(currentSection.isMultiAxis() ? 43.5 : 43), zOutput.format(initialPosition.z),
          hFormat.format(lengthOffset), setCoolant(tool.coolant), ("T" + toolFormat.format(firstToolNumber)));
        } else {   //added if user selected only one operation
    writeBlock(gMotionModal.format(0), gFormat.format(currentSection.isMultiAxis() ? 43.5 : 43), zOutput.format(initialPosition.z),
          hFormat.format(lengthOffset), setCoolant(tool.coolant), ("T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number)));
  }
      }
     } else {

Hello,

Thanks for posting. Based on the code you supplied, you could just check to see if there is no next tool, then select T99 with something like this:

        var nextTool = getNextTool(tool.number);
        if (!nextTool) {
          nextTool = 99;
        }

But you might want to add more checks, perhaps to ensure it is the final section as well (although I can't think of a reason nextTool wouldn't have a value if it wasn't the last section):

        var nextTool = getNextTool(tool.number);
        if (!hasNextSection() && !nextTool) {
          nextTool = 99;
        }

Hope this helps!
