Run through Tools in Machine Group

[Zoffen]

hello,

 

I am new to c-hooks and i'm wondering if i could get some sample code to get all tool data for each tool in the machine group.

 

 

Thanks!

Zack,

 

See TpToolMgr_ch.h in the (X6) SDK

 

 

// Scan the Mill Tool List
// Return: The number of tools found.
int ScanMillToolList()
{
int toolCount = 0;
tp_tool *tool; // Local variable to hold copy of a tool
// Create a reference to the tool list
TpPartToolList &MainToolList = TpMainToolMgr.GetMainMillToolList();
// Retrieve the list of IDs from the tool list
TlIDList toolIDs = MainToolList.GetToolIDs();
// Get the iterator to the start of the list
TlIDListIter position = toolIDs.begin();
// Run through the Mill tool list
while (toolIDs.end() != position)
{
// Grab the ID to the current tool and increment the iterator
TlID id = *(position++);
// If we didn't get a tool, try the next one
if (!MainToolList.Find(id, tool))
continue;
// ... Do something with the data in this is tool (tp_tool structure)? ...
toolCount++;
}
return toolCount;
}
