Hello

Here is the matter:

changing tool into a toolpath and running the EDIT DATAFROMTOOL command, it edit the coolant and so if coolant is NONE it is reset like beeing EDIT COOLANT RESET.

I use a macro to edit data from tool but it includes the coolant reset.

I want coolant to be not changed.

so

If I want it to  be EDIT COOLANT MARK when I run EDIT DATAFROMTOOL How can exclude coolant from the editing?

Thanks to who cam help

you could save the previous value and then restore it at the end of the macro like this:

//store the current coolant
string $previousCoolant = entity('toolpath','').Coolant.Value


//do your stuff


//changes the coolant to the previeous value
string $cmd = 'EDIT COOLANT ' + $previousCoolant
docommand $cmd

In your macro, replace:

EDIT DATAFROMTOOL ;

By:

STRING $Coolant = $entity('toolpath','').Coolant.Value

EDIT DATAFROMTOOL ;

$entity('toolpath','').Coolant.Value = $Coolant
STRING $cmd = 'EDIT COOLANT ' + $Coolant
DOCOMMAND $cmd
