Hi marius,

I wanted to know if you had planned to make a strawberry bank function in order to record the characteristics of the strawberries that you could select after in the course editing and displayed in the comments G-CODE I know it represents a big development

if there was already a "tool name" field which would be displayed in the G-CODE comment this would allow the opening of the G-CODE in CANDLE or others to easily have the information when opening

Have a good day

Hi, I assume by "strawberry" you mean something like milling tool and not 🍓... (failed translation of "fraise" perhaps?) ;-) ..Anyway, I haven't really seen the need for this.

I usually just rename the toolpaths into something descriptive when needed.

Something like this: image

Then you would see these descriptions in the gcode comments..like:

... ... ( BEGIN TOOLPATH 'finish_with_3mm_endmill' ) ( Files: ) ( Operation: ) ( name = Profile inside ) ( type = PROFILE_INSIDE ) ... ...

Maybe this could work for you?

I guess a tool description field could be added, but I think I'll hold back for now, ...trying to keep the user interface as simple as possible.

Best regards Marius
