Hi Pressure Coolant

I had a request to flag the use of hi-Pressure coolant M26 on only certain tools. So certain T number random of course an M26 would be valid and others would not and should generate an error. In addition all tools have M8 with some having M8 and M26. These tool sets are cells so could be 50 with hi_pressure in a set of 300. Tool Manager dosen't have anything I could see. Logically could be done with {if M26 and variable = T1 or T5 or T8......etc} But that seems excessive. Next they will ask me for one button that does everything.
Your thoughts
Thanks

Re: Hi Pressure Coolant

I think I have a solution. If you assign a macro to M26, it would then go look at a subroutine file. You have that file look at the current tool number.
You have your list of tool numbers in that file with that capability. If that tool had hi-pressure coolant, than no error would result. Otherewise, etc.
