can't get the post processor to respond with the program event 'Change tool ID'. I am calling 'setTool100' to get special output in my file

What do you mean by the post processor to respond?

This will be a program call when you generate the program.

If you can send us your RDK project file we can better take a look.

i want a different output from my post processor when a toolchange is seen at the start of the path, so in the program events 'Change Tool ID' i put a different sub program call but this is not working. I have included the file for you to view. instead of the normal output of 'setTool' in my post, i want to output something different, i've tried calling 'setTool' with a different number argument and i've tried calling a different program all together with no success.

I noticed that you are using a custom postprocessor.

You need to modify the setTool function of your postprocessor to change the output associated with the Set Tool instruction.

Program events allow you to add certain program calls (Program call instruction) if one of the events (e.g. tool change, rpm change, etc.) was detected during the import of the NC program (gcode, apt, nci).
