Andy,
I can imagine that a format like T10.12 would work (tool 10, offset 12).
What I think one really wants is to have code that will run on either a
standard industrial control or LCNC. This means no . between geometry and
offsets values. Others what are using this patch can chime in - I
The big difference between Fanuc-style and LinuxCNC style tool changes
is not actually in the offsets anyway. That is that the T-word causes
the toolchange, not the M6 command.
the t word calls up the tool and the m6 begin s a tool change macro
bringing z up releasing the tool sliding the
Not all Fanuc controled machines use the M6. It depends how the machine builder
chose to have it set up. (We have 3 that don't use M6 and one that does) Also
on our Fanucs at least, the offsets are not at all tied to the tool number.
You call up your tool with the appropriate code then you
not seen one that didnt use m6 what does it use? the before mentioned
macro or a subprogram? and yes as elated to and didnt respond to andys
statement of when it tool changes it picks up the info for tools. no
the fanuc does not read h offset until g43 then h #
and it does not read d offset untill
I've never delved to deeply into how these are setup and the subs that do it
are hidden and protected. All you do to change tools is type T3 press start
and the machine puts away the tool in the spindle (if there is one) then picks
up tool #3. Two or our machines that do not use M6 are 0i and
thats neat , probably the subs just live in a parameter someplace, do
you see cub scripting if you toolchange in mdi and monitor it? thta
would show you the sub if it scripts

3. Tooledit.tcl should display both wear and geometery offsets
for tools 1-99, not display wear offsets as if they were the geometry
offsets for tools 1-99 andgeometry offsets as if they were
geometry offsets for tools 10,000 - 10,099.
yes yes yes :) :) :)

What happens if you have more than 99 tools?

Andy - not allowed, according to the Fanuc folks. It is a lathe after all.
To summarize what I think people want with this patch (and to keep it
separate from Michael/Andy's discussion of Ideal Tool Table):
1.Features
I don't understand the need for the geometry offsets to have 10,00
added to them.
I realize this is how Fanuc has it's tool table but there is no good
reason (I can see) to follow that.
It doesn't affect whether the Gcode runs or not.
and further it just serves to confuse the operator further, im
