Vance,
You put this in the mstepinf.fmt file. I find that enough information for
each tool can be in one line for most milling applications but in my turning
.fmt file I wanted to print out the tool notes under the tool description
because I include the tool crib item number and bin location. Most turn
parts don't require many tools so the extra line dosen't bother me. In most
of our milling files I only print out one line per tool to save space since
most of them have 25 - 60 tools per program. You'll notice the extra tool
info is slashed out so it doesn't print on the tool sheets.
procedure section_1030000
{
format ("TOOL %d: %s\n", step_num, st_desc);
format (" %s", tm_notes);
// format (" Doff:%-d Loff:%-d Speed:%-d", doff, loff, outspeed);
// call (speed_mode);
// format (" Feed:%-0.4f", outfeed1);
// call (feed_mode);
format ("\n\n");
}
