Tool List Display Three Character Offset Numbers

[DCDForeman]

Hello,

I'm attempting to get my tool list to display the tool number with offsets. I have partially succeeded, but I can only display two of the three offset numbers. I'm using a Doosan SMX2100ST mill-turn with a post that has been slightly modified for my needs. 

This is what I'm outputting now:

(T0101 - UPPER CNMG 432-PM 4425)

(T1099 - 1.0" INDXBL MILL R.122" - TOOL GRP 10)

(T1299 - 2.5" INDXBL MILL R.122" W/EXT - TOOL GRP 12)

(T5151 - 1/2" .030R 7FLT ENDMILL)

This is what I would like:

(T01001 - UPPER CNMG 432-PM 4425)

(T10999 - 1.0" INDXBL MILL R.122" - TOOL GRP 10)

(T12999 - 2.5" INDXBL MILL R.122" W/EXT - TOOL GRP 12)

(T51051 - 1/2" .030R 7FLT ENDMILL)

Below is the code from my post. I have tools that use the same tool number, and different offsets, so it's not quite typical:

if (properties.writeTools) {

    var tools = [];

    var numberOfSections = getNumberOfSections();

    for (var i = 0; i < numberOfSections; ++i) {

      var section = getSection(i);

      var tool = section.getTool();

      var isDuplicate = false;

      for (var j = 0; j < tools.length; ++j) {

        if (tools[j].number == tool.number && tools[j].compensationOffset == tool.compensationOffset) {

          isDuplicate = true;

        }

      }

      if (!isDuplicate) {

        tools.push(tool);

      }

    }

    var zRanges = {};

    if (is3D()) {

      var numberOfSections = getNumberOfSections();

      for (var i = 0; i < numberOfSections; ++i) {

        var section = getSection(i);

        var zRange = section.getGlobalZRange();

        var tool = section.getTool();

        if (zRanges[tool.number + compensationOffset]) {

          zRanges[tool.number + compensationOffset].expandToRange(zRange);

        } else {

          zRanges[tool.number + compensationOffset] = zRange;

        }

      }

    }

    for (var i = 0; i < tools.length; ++i) {

      var tool = tools[i];

      var compensationOffset = tool.isTurningTool() ? tool.compensationOffset : tool.lengthOffset;

      var comment = "T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number * 100 + compensationOffset % 100) + " - " + tool.description;

      writeComment(comment);

    }

  }

Thank you in advance!

Hi @DCDForeman ,

Please try modifying your code as below, it should resolve the issue:

    for (var i = 0; i < tools.length; ++i) {
      var tool = tools[i];
      var compensationOffset = tool.isTurningTool() ? tool.compensationOffset : tool.lengthOffset;

      // New variable to handle compensationOffset condition
      var formattedCompensationOffset = compensationOffset < 100 ? '0' + compensationOffset.toString() : compensationOffset.toString();

      var comment = "T" + tool.number.toString() + formattedCompensationOffset + " - " + tool.description;
      writeComment(comment);
    }

In this code, we're adding a new variable formattedCompensationOffset to handle the condition for compensationOffset. If compensationOffset is less than 100, a '0' is added in prefix to it. Otherwise, it is output as it is.

Hope this helps.

Hi @aju_augustine ,

Thanks for your quick response! This is so close to being perfect for me! The tool list works perfectly for any 2 digit tool number, but with single digit tool numbers, and single digit offsets is it possible to add a preceding 0?

(T101 - UPPER CNMG 432-PM 4425)

(T3999 - UPPER DNMG 432-PM 4425)

(T10999 - 1.0" INDXBL MILL R.122" - TOOL GRP 10)

(T19019 - 0.6496"/16.5MM INDEXABLE CARBIDE DRILL)

Hi @DCDForeman ,

Assuming that you have tools less that hundred I have modifed the tool number format by limiting to 2 digits, and for the compensationoffset I have added its format by limiting to 3 digits, as shown in screenshot below:

Then change the codes in the post as shown below:

    for (var i = 0; i < tools.length; ++i) {
      var tool = tools[i];
      var compensationOffset = tool.isTurningTool() ? tool.compensationOffset : tool.lengthOffset;
      var comment = "T" + toolFormat.format(tool.number) + lengthCompensationFormat.format(compensationOffset) + " - " + tool.description;
      writeComment(comment);
    }

It should work as shown below:

Hi @aju_augustine 

Thank you for this, It is exactly what I hoped for!
