Where could I find the possible values for tool.type ?

it looks like for probe, the type is 27, 9 for a face mill, and 5 for a flat endmill. But what for all other tools types?
That would be very handy to have, to be able to test the proper tool is used for a specific operation.

Thanks for your help,
have a nice day,
Bernard

OK, I see there are constants, like TOOL_PROBE which you can use instead of getting the number. Still, would be nice to have the list.

Hello @bernard5BABD 

 

this can be found while looking into the API documentation.

On this page navigate to the getType function for example:

Regards

Ha, thanks, Serge, did not know about this reference documentation. Great resource. This will answer a lot of my questions. Now, you would not happen to have the same kind of reference material for Roeders RMS6 programming, by chance? 🤣 (Just kidding!)
Have a nice day,
