Modify tool table by macro - i.e. slot #

I have found that there is no specific way to modify the tool table [extended] fields outside of the typical Z offset and dia values. Part of making an M6 ATC macro I need to control the slot # which I can only read and not save in a formal manner, I have resorted to using the exec.Writekey to save the slot # for a tool, however this then doesn't update the in-memory copy of the tool table UCCNC manages, so the tool table details modal does not reflect any changes I save (via exec.Writekey) nor does it from exec.Gettooltabledata(). It would be ideal if there was APIs to manage the tool table in complete form accessible by macros.

Is this on the roadmap? The work arounds are easily open to human error and/or data loss.

Yes, this was implemented yesterday, and is to be final tested.

Thank you, but I haven't found an API to manage the detailed tooltable.

Open the example plugin template in Visual studio and in the plugin class start typing UC. and then the Visual studio helper will give you all the available function prototypes.
The tooltable read/write functions are:
- Code: Select all
string Readtooltablecell(int toolnumber, Datatypes.Tooltablerowname column)
bool Writetooltablecell(int toolnumber, Datatypes.Tooltablerowname column, string value)
