Ref: VC 5.4 training session 41, an error is created if cutting with coolant off. I want to report the tool number in the error message. Is this possible?
Thanks

VERICUT (5.4 and higher, possibly even latter 5.3.x releases) has the ability to incorporate variable values in error and message macro syntax. For example, assume in a FANUC control you have #4120 tracking the tool number. To output a message referencing the tool number you could call the ErrorMacro with override text that also includes => {#4120}. Note that the variable is wrapped in curly braces. When the macro gets called "{#4120}" is evaluated by VERICUT and a number appears in it's place. (Be careful of pre-select tooling - you may need to track the "current tool" via a different variable.) This capability also works well with the MessageMacro.
To help others, I have requested the docs on these two macros be enhanced to mention this capability. --Gene
