Format Tool Change

This command can be added by right-clicking on the “Tool/Spindle/Coolant/Synchronization” heading inside “Commands” tab.

This command automatically becomes active during tool change.

This command is activated by LOAD/TOOL,12 or similar statements in the APT/CL file. Here 12 is the tool number.

The LOAD/TOOL statement in the APT/CL file runs “Event Tool Change”. This event includes “ActionToolChange” as standard. “ActionToolChange” also runs the “Format Tool Change” command.

The tool number in the LOAD/TOOL statement is automatically assigned to “Tool.Number” variable in MANUSpost developer.
