ToolChange Improvements on Tree #52

Open alreai opened 1 year ago

alreai commented 1 year ago

Hi everyone!!

I am new at all here and I dont know so much of programming... sorry in advance! I installed the extension to see lathe gcode:

In lathes, we call a tool just saying ex. T1212. Without the M06 used on Mills. So the ToolChange does not appear in the Tree.
In addition, it would be great if the comment (many people as me use to put after the T____ , to describe the tool) also appeared in the Tree. ex. T1212 (Ext. Rough)
Also the possibility to hide from the tree the G0/1's.

Congratulations for the great extension and job done. Best regards

Hi @alreai Thanks for the issue! It's something I'm working on with the machine types for the next major release. I too do most of my lathe code by hand so I have been working on a way to show tool changes for a lathe. It would have to be different than for a mill for instance with my Haas mill, I'll stage tools by calling T12 without an M06 so the tool changer will prep that tool for the next change.

Right now, for the tree and the stats, it is only looking for a M06 to determine a tool change, so as I am able to incorporate more of the machine type configuration either via the settings (or possible a special comment in the file).
