Tool ID Parameter for setup sheets

[Anonymous]

Hi all.

I'm looking for the parameter that holds the value of tool ID.

That can be found on the cutting data Tab under Tool ID.

Probably obvious but I cant see it?

Thanks

Sorry that's not working, returns a blank field.

Is there any additional code to put at the front, e.g. for tool name I have {tool.name}

Here's what I'm expecting.

What about ${tool.Identifier}.  I have both in different areas of a setup sheet.

That also returned nothing, do you have that string in a Excel spreadsheet?

Looks like that parameter isn't included in the PLUG-IN for set up sheets..... Oh well

You are using a setup sheet plug in?  The parameters I sent work with the native PowerMill setup sheets.  I am using them and they are outputting the correct data.  If you are using a plug-in, you should be able to edit the plug-in to allow these parameters...

Yes I'm using the plug in "PowerMILL Excel SetupSheet plugin" that writes to Excel files, I find it much simpler than editing HTML etc.

unfortunately I don't have a clue on how to amend the parameters for the plug-in.
